elm-tigershark

WIP/Exploratory project for generating TypeScript type declarations for Elm programs. Based off of elm-typescript-interop.

Roadmap to 1.0.0

• Setup TypeScript and Elm project
• Setup Elm testing
• Use elm-syntax to parse main module source and extract relivent ASTs
• Convert interoperable Elm types into TypeScript types
• Add types for flags
• Add types for all ports in file
• Parse a single module to a declaration file
• CLI tool
• Resolve type aliases
• Include imported ports
• Multi-module parsing
• Good error messages, CLI enhancements
• Real README documentation

Later enhancements

Things I'm thinking about now, but should be done later.

• Support pre-0.19 Elm.
• Write custom "isPortsModule" parser so that we don't have to fully parse every imported module to find ones that use ports.
• Auto generate TS types, encoders, and decoders for message passing ports

The name

This isn't a useful tool yet so it doesn't have a useful tool name. TypeScript and Tigershark sound a bit similar. That's all I've got.
