Using jtsgen

The jtsgen annotation processor registers itself using the ServiceLoader protocol. Therefore when the processor is available on the compile or annotation class path it should be automatically invoked when compiling the annotated Java classes. Any Java class, interface or enum with the annotation @TypeScript will be converted, e.g.:

@TypeScript
public interface InterFaceSample {
    int getSomeInt();
    String getSomeString();
}

When compiling this class a complete ES module including a valid package.json is generated in the source output folder for a later deployment into a npm compatible repository.

Hint: Don’t use the jtsgen-processor as a compile time or runtime dependency. Either get you build system to use the javac annotation class path or excluding it from the transitive dependencies, e.g. using compileOnly in Gradle or optional in Maven.

The generated sources are currently beneath the java source output folder. The output can be redirected using the regular -s option of javac.
