ghcjs-from-typescript

The goal of this project is to generate Haskell FFI bindings from TypeScript definition files. In particular, the initial goal has been to get convert a TypeScript binding for the Ace editor.

The conversion to a raw binding already works. However, ace.d.ts had to be modified a bit due to deficiencies in language-typescript:

• top level var declarations with object types commented out, as they cause parsing to fail.

• export keywords are removed by string substituion, as they cause parsing to fail.

Running it on ace.d.ts

Here's what I'm currently using to run this:

rm -r output; runhaskell src/GHCJSFromTypeScript.hs && cd ghcjs-ace && cabal --config-file=../../../cabal-ghcjs-config install --ghcjs && cd ..
