Type information generated for d.ts extern definitions #33

Aloha!

I've been experimenting a bit more with hxgenjs and been playing with a hybrid TS<>HX approach for rapid app development. You can read a bit more about it here, the WIP source is here.

When trying the -D tsextern feature, I noticed that all type information is lost and Any is used instead. I have a few questions about that:

1) I assume that's because this version is still rough and data mappings between both haven't been implemented? 2) Are there any plans to implement it? 3) Any tricky scenarios where it'd be hard to map types from HX>TS?

Good idea, I'll try integrating it with hxgenjs.

That would be awesome -- it uses "Any" for now just to make sure it will compile, but more specific types (and in a perfect world, doc comments too!) would really be ideal :smile:
