TypeScript support for Blockly

[phil cleaver]

Hi,

TypeScript seems to be getting some traction now and I was thinking about trying to add TypeScript support to Blockly.

Has this been done anywhere?  

Any pointers welcome as I don't really know much about TypeScript!

At DigiPen Institute of Technology, we have created a typed version of Blocky. We currently use it to program Arduino boards. If you are interested in this technology, send an email to proje...@digipen.edu

Hi there,

Very interested to see it but email address is blocked for some reason.  Can you spell for me?

Phil, I have a project on github that generates the Typescript definition file which will allow you to use Blockly in a typed manner  (https://github.com/trodi/blockly-d.ts).

Clarissa, when you said "a typed version of Blockly", do you mean you created a d.ts file, that you ported the library to Typescript, or something else? I'm interested in seeing what you guys produced.

Hi Phil, what do you want? use Blockly into a Typescript project using type definitions?, or to have code generators from Blockly core blocks to Typescript?
