aurelia-ts-port

a spike to attempt to port aurelia code into typescript

The process is to take the ES6 Aurelia source code, maintain a local copy here for comparison when porting across new code changes: aurelia repo source code

Using the source from above, the next step in the process is to create equivalent, matching typescript source code by copying .js files and renaming them .ts extension, changing all ambient imports (import {Router} from 'aurelia-router') to explicit imports (import {Router} from '../router/index'), making small edits to make the typescript compiler happy, and adding typescript type annotations: aurelia repo typescript-converted source code

The atom editor, with its built-in, updated, almost-typescript-1.5 atom-typescript package is used to build the .js files in ES5 format, identify compile-time errors, and provide intellisense. build output

clone and build

1. clone this repo
2. run git bash shell, change to the main folder
3. install atom
4. install atom-typescript: run apm install atom-typescript
5. open the clone folder in atom
6. to build typescript files

process steps - to add (or update) aurelia repos (or add new files):

1. run ./get-latest.sh

   this is a git bash script to help keep the aurelia-latest up to date

2. clones aurelia repos into aurelia-latest-repos

3. copies src folder from each repo into corresponding folder in aurelia-latest

4. manually copy .js files from aurelia-latest into aurelia-ts (rename each to .ts)

5. replace ambient imports (import {Router} from 'aurelia-router') to explicit imports (import {Router} from '../router/index')
