@nfrankel there’s a way to convert typescript headers to kt defs

[gildor]

https://github.com/Kotlin/ts2kt

@gildor It's not full-featured yet. Works with simple case, but you can't deal with react.js for example.

[gildor]

@apomelov Yeah, I know, but it’s the only tool that can convert typescript defs for kotlin. Anyway it’s better to fix something, then write everything from scratch manually,

[nfrankel]

@gildor thanks for the tip
i didn’t know about it

[gildor]

@nfrankel btw official docs have a very concise doc about ts2kt - https://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/javascript/working-with-javascript.html#using-ts2kt-to-generate-header-files-for-kotlin

[nfrankel]

Seems i missed that...

[apomelov]

@nfrankel , @gildor , I’m waiting for a tutorial (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-16733) that will show the entire integration process...

[gildor]

@apomelov Yeah, it would be nice

[nfrankel]

@apomelov why don’t you write it yourself?

[apomelov]

@nfrankel because I’m not sure how to do it well. I wanted some official recommendations 😃 And when I wanted to switch my client module from ES6 and JSX to kotlin and html builder I failed to convert react TS defs and failed to find html builder in maven central. As I understand everything is under development now, so some official document cat show the overall status

[nfrankel]

from my side, i had no idea how to do it before i did
i fumbled, failed, etc.
power to the community: don’t wait, do

[apomelov]

Yeah, you’re right. I’m just starting frontend learning and asked sometime ago if there such tutorial. I was told, that not yet but is going to be soon. So I created the task as a checklist. If “soon” is not soon enough I’ll try something myself.
