Hi, I've made a 'KSerializer to TypeScript generator'. It will take an @Serializer annotated class and generate some TypeScript interfaces - so they can generate compatible JSON.

The basics are in, and it needs more work to finish up some of the tricky bits. Please take a look!

It's available from JitPack. There's code examples in the docs directory

Looks slick!

The open issues you have in there also cover the main things I could think of

The magic end-result here would be if — in addition to a @TsExport annotation — you could somehow annotate a class with @TsWrap and have KSP also generate a TS-friendly wrapper for that class that
◦ wraps the annotated original class into a `@JsExport`ed one
◦ creates methods on that wrapper with the same names as the original class, but method signatures modified to use your generated `external interface`s instead of the original Kotlin classes
◦ uses kotlinx.serialization to automatically map between external interface s and kotlin classes

Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand your magic end result. What do you mean by a wrapped original class? I'm finding it difficult to think of a situation where creating that sort of automation would be less work than just creating a TypeScript class manually!

Ah I think I misread things — at first, I thought this library was generating Kotlin/JS `external interface`s, rather than directly generating TS definitions!
