TypeScript about serde-wasm-bindgen HOT 3 CLOSED

You might be interested in looking at https://crates.io/crates/typescript-definitions - I remember seeing it briefly while searching for some other stuff in the past, but never dug in. However, given that both that crate and serde-wasm-bindgen build upon Serde attributes, it's possible combining the two on same types might work out of the box, or at least with little effort.

But yeah, I think an adapter that combines the two (if such is necessary) would be a bit out of scope of implementation. That said, I'm happy to add links or section to the docs showing how to use them together once you figure it out :)

Closing this issue for now.

Yeah me neither. Due to complexity seems rather out of scope of this project tbh, but if someone would make a macro like this, it sure could be cool.

So wasm-bindgen does some truly bonkers stuff to generate its TypeScript definitions, which initially scared me.

But I'm most interested in the case of relatively simple, flat user-defined structs that only contain basic types. If the macro is invoked on both the struct and the function, it should have all the info it needs to do a basic typedef without getting too crazy in the type system. Then more generality could be future work.

Totally cool if you consider this out-of-scope; it should be easy to layer on top of serde-wasm-bindgen as a separate crate. I suspect I'll give this first-pass version a shot, and will link back to this issue to keep everyone updated. :)
