typescript-to-lua - npm Package Versions

0.17.0

• We now support source maps in the standard JS v3 format. You can generate source maps with the --sourceMap CLI argument, or by adding sourceMap: true to your tsconfig. Inline source maps are also supported with --inlineSourceMap CLI/tsconfig parameter.

• Also added tstl option --sourceMapTraceback, which will add an override to Lua's debug.traceback() to each file, so source maps will automatically be applied to Lua stacktraces (i.e. in errors).

• Made watch mode incremental.

• Added support for Object.fromEntries, array.flat and array.flatMap.

• BREAKING CHANGE: Directive @tupleReturn should now be specified per overload.

• Fixed a bug where rest parameters would not transpile correctly.

• Fixed an issue with escaped backticks.

• Various small fixes function inference and array detection.

• Changed testing framework to jest.

0.16.0

• BREAKING CHANGE: All functions now take a self parameter. This means that without further action calls to declaration functions might be given an extra argument.
  • To remove the self parameter from a single function add this: void to its declaration: declare function foo(this: void, ...)
  • To remove the self parameter from all methods or functions in a class/interface/namespace add /** @noSelf */: /** @noSelf */ interface Foo {
  • To remove the self parameter from all functions in a file, add /** @noSelfInFile */ at the top.

• BREAKING CHANGE: Directive /** @luaIterator */ should now be put on types instead of on the functions returning them.

• Fixed a bug breaking named class expressions.
• Fixed inconsistency between the meaning of >> and >>> in JS vs. Lua.
• Added /** @noResolution */ directive to prevent path resolution on declared modules.
• It is now possible to put /** @luaIterator */ on types extending Array<T>.
• Fixed issue with the moment static fields were initialized.
• Fixed issue where undefined as property name was not transpiled correctly.
• Various improvements to function/method self parameter inference.
• Tstl options can now be defined in their own tstl block in tsconfig.json. For example:

{
    "compilerOptions" : {}
    "tstl": {
        "luaTarget": "JIT"
    }
}

• Fixed issue when redeclaring TypeScript libraries/globals.
• Fixed exception resolving function signatures.
• Added support for automatically transpiling several console calls to their Lua equivalent:
  • console.log(...) -> print(...)
  • console.assert(...) -> assert(...)
  • console.trace(...) -> print(debug.traceback(...))
• Added support for array.findIndex().
• Fixed array.sort() not working with a compare function.
• Added support for several common Math. functions and constants.
• Added support for several common string instance functions such as upper().
