Typescript Surface API Compiler?

[chadbr]

Are there any plans to support generating Typescript for better interop with Angular2 (and nodejs in Typescript...)?

If not, any suggestions on how to start an external implementation?

And if there's a better place to post this, please close this and point me in the right direction...

Our ecosystem is Python, Go and Javascript (Almost entirely Typescript + Angular2). GRPC seems like a breath of fresh air compared to say, JSONRPC.

How do we make this happen?

I also would be interested in contributing a solution to this problem. Likely, .d.ts files could be generated alongside any created JavaScript files?

maybe @murgatroid99 knows of a proto -> typescript generator?

I've written a fair number of .d.ts files manually. If anybody needs some help here, I'd be happy to lend a hand. It seems to me that if you had an AST from the .proto file, it should be reasonably straightforward to generate a .d.ts file from that. But I don't know how the internals of gprc work, so not sure if that is a possibility.

@chadbr see my project rxjs-grpc

@kondi - That looks great!

We are now distributing a .d.ts file with gRPC. It is relatively new and could probably be improved; contributions are welcome. We are not currently working on any support for generating .d.ts files from .proto files for use with gRPC.
