Generate Flow annotations a-la TypeScript

[chenglou]

That'd be awesome for an existing flow codebase (lots of react codebases). We've discussed this before; formalizing this as an issue.

This would be glorious.

anyone interested in working on this? I would like to help

[pvolok]

@bobzhang I started exploring this a couple of weeks ago. But had almost no time. No it's getting better I hope. I will create a WIP PR today with what I have.

[chenglou]

No time for this but I'll put this out here: https://github.com/chenglou/jeason/blob/master/README_DONT_TWEET_ABOUT_THIS_YET.md

This takes in the Flow JS AST and outputs reason code. I don't do anything with type info yet.

Where does this project stand? @bobzhang @pvolok @chenglou

I would love to see this too -- if BuckleScript could generate both Flow and TypeScript typedefs from a Reason codebase it would be an incredibly compelling argument for why people should write their libraries with Reason.

[bwestergard]

Any news here?

Yes, would really love to see this. Anything we can do to help? @chenglou
