Packages

@react-native-ts-codegen/tslint-shared

This is the shared tslint configuration for all other packages.

RN-TSCodegen

This is the TypeScript code generation for TurboModule in react native.

There are two important exported functions:

• typeScriptToCodeSchema function:
  • fileName argument: Full path to a TypeScript source file, a module name.
  • moduleName argument: The module name. It is not reflected in generated files.
  • targetName argument (optional): It will be used in the entry header file, if this TypeScript source file registers a native module.
  • Output: A SchemaType data structure.
• generator.generate function
  • options argument:
    • libraryName property: A string that becomes part of type names in generated files.
    • schema property: Result from typeScriptToCodeSchema
    • outputDirectory property: Full path to a folder to write files. Multiple files will be generated and most of the file names are hard-coded.
    • moduleSpecName property: Name of the entry header file, no file extension.
  • config arguments:
    • generators property: An array that is or a subset of ['descriptors', 'events', 'props', 'tests', 'shadow-nodes', 'modules'] to control what files are generated.

RN-TSCodegen-Test

This package contains all test cases for RN-TSCodegen, with unit test code.

@react-native-ts-codegen/minimum-flow-parser

This is a Flow parser, just enough to convert necessary files to TypeScript for this repo.

Deploying

• npm install react-native-tscodegen-types
• npm install react-native-tscodegen
  • Follow the description to build your first Turbo Module program!
• Demo project (not ready)

You are welcome to use cli tool react-native-tscodegen instead of calling functions in build scripts by yourself if possible. Basically, just add react-native-tscodegen ./react-native-tscodegen.json to npm scripts, after getting react-native-tscodegen.json prepared. The file name is not important.

{
    "libraryName": "PlaygroundModule",
    "outputDirectory": "./lib/cpp-generated",
    "moduleSpecName": "PlaygroundModuleSpec",
    "generators": [
        "descriptors",
        "events",
        "props",
        "tests",
        "shadow-nodes",
        "modules"
    ],
    "inputFile": "./src/turboModule.ts"
}

libraryName and moduleSpecName control file names and some generated C++ class names. generators controls what files get generated. After the cli tool is successfully executed, files will be created under outputDirectory.

Development

Sync react-native after pull

git submodule update

Sync react-native to a new version

pushd react-native
git fetch
git checkout <VERSION-NAME>
popd
git status

Works to do after updating react-native

yarn
yarn build
pushd packages\update-test-files
npm run start
popd
git status

Fixing test case codegen

cls & pushd packages\update-test-files & npm run build & cd ..\RN-TSCodegen-Test & npm run build & popd

Fixing compiler

cls & pushd packages\RN-TSCodegen & npm run build & cd ..\RN-TSCodegen-Test & npm run build & npm run test & popd
