nested class declaration

[farfromrefug]

I am trying to write a declaration file for the Titanium Mobile framework.
To do so i need to declare nested classes. Let me explain
In the Titanium mobile javascript environnement you have a global var Titanium
it would look like something like this:

declare module titanium {
    class Proxy extends EventEmitter {}
    class Module extends EventEmitter {}
    class View extends Proxy {}
    class TitaniumModule extends Module {
        UI: UIModule
    }
    class UIModule extends Module {
        View = View
    }
    export var Titanium: TitaniumModule
}

The idea is that you can do:

Titanium.UI.on('event', function() {}) ///eventEmitter

as well as

var view = new Titanium.UI.View();

The example i wrote for the declaration file does not work because of the error Initializers are not allowed in ambient contexts for all nested class declarations.
I also can't make Titanium.UI a namespace because then i cant have it extend Module and thus EventEmitter

Is there a way achieve this right now?
I saw that trick but it does not seem to work anymore.

It seems that it could be achieved if i was actually writing the objects and not just the declaration file, using static nested classes (thus the title). Could be added as a feature in a .d.ts file?

npm install @types/titanium?
to download titanium's declaration file ?

@mhegazy the issue is not about about getting the definition ;) The definition is wrong!
I also maintain my own for Ti which automatically build the definition file.

And that definition file you pointed has that exact issue i am talking about.

@mhegazy you closed it? I don't see it as fix. Nor do i see a workaround for this.
Can you just explain a bit?
Thanks

@farfromrefug This is not an Typescript issue, if the definition is wrong open an issue to DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped (this is the repository from is generated the @types/titanium definitions).
This is the last version of definition.

[farfromrefug]

@j-oliveras The definition is not wrong! It's just that you can't do with typescript what we need for the definition to be correct...
That's what i explained in this issue.

View = View should be View: View

Complete : 🌹

declare module titanium {
    class Proxy extends EventEmitter {}
    class Module extends EventEmitter {}
    class View extends Proxy {}
    class TitaniumModule extends Module {
        UI: UIModule
    }
    class UIModule extends Module {
        View: View
    }
    export var Titanium: TitaniumModule
}

In this case I think TypeScript is preventing you from using invalid syntax ❤️

@basarat It does not work. If i try your way i can't do var view = new Titanium.UI.View();

[basarat]

Sorry. Change View: View to View: typeof View. More https://basarat.gitbooks.io/typescript/content/docs/types/moving-types.html 🌹

[farfromrefug]

@basarat It works !
Thank you so much for this.
Now i think we can declare that issue closed ;)

[farfromrefug]

@basarat actually it does not fully work.

i can do
Titanium.UI.on('event', function() {})
or
var view = new Titanium.UI.View();

but i can do

class A {
   variable:Ti.UI.View
   aFun(view:Ti.UI.View) {
}
}

It says cannot find namespace Ti
Ti is indeed not a namespace but a titanium.TitaniumModule.
Can it be solved?

Thanks
