Can typescript compiler create POCO.NET types / assembly?

Question

I am developing applications using knockout with MVC and EF, and I am watching how adding TypeScript to the recipe can help me.

I like the cleanup mechanism for development in the IDE, but the missing thing seems to be the ability to refer to interfaces defined in TypeScript from other .NET collections.

Am I right that nothing prevents this from happening otherwise than it was done? I am curious if there is a demand for it or if I consider the problem area in such a way that others are not.

The reason I see the utility is because I currently have no way to define this DTO in only one place. I must either authorize them separately in my C # View model, or in javascript / typescript, or I need to use something like a knockout display plugin that is too "magical" for my tastes.

Note I do not ask to convert .NET TypeScript. I just like TypeScript interfaces for creating usable .NET POCO types.

Note2 : I just found http://typescript.codeplex.com/ which does what I ask in the opposite direction (from .NET to typescript), and this may be enough for the problem that I am expressing in this question.

Answer 1

There is a utility for converting C # classes to Typescript: http://type.litesolutions.net/

That way you can have your DTOs in one place, i.e. C #. Available on Nuget and is open source on BitBucket, so feel free to modify (even generate code) and contribute.

Answer 2

See my answer on: Breeze.js typed objects

You cannot use my solution in knockout patterns, but it definitely helps on the TypeScript side.

I approached this issue by serializing JSON and vice versa. Depending on your needs, the simplicity of it is worth it, and if your document is complex, it is necessary.

Starting with version 1.7, Bridge supports the generation of TypeScript type definitions in C #. In this article, you will learn how to instruct the Bridge compiler to release .d.ts along with the corresponding .js files and use them in a Visual Studio TypeScript project

Typewriter is a free extension for Visual Studio that generates TypeScript files from C # code files using TypeScript Templates.This allows you to create fully typed TypeScript server representations APIs, models, controllers, SignalR hubs, etc. that automatically update when you are making changes to your c # code. TypeScript Intellisense errors and compilation times when client and server code is different. This speeds up the pace of development and improves the quality of your applications.
