I'm currently working on a TypeScript NPM package, where I have organized all the classes and interfaces. However, upon review, it seems that my approach is repetitive and not very clean, especially with the empty class and interface extensions. I am seeking suggestions for improvement.
Update: I have modified the main NPM file to utilize class extensions instead. This has made the code more maintainable as there is no longer any repetition. But I suspect it might be slower since each class is effectively defined twice.
The main NPM file (deck.ts) looks like this:
/// <reference path="../d.ts/DefinitelyTyped/node/node.d.ts" />
import DeckDatabasePostgresClient = require('./Database/Postgres/Client');
import DeckDatabasePostgresConfigInterface = require('./Database/Postgres/ConfigInterface');
import DeckApp = require('./App');
import DeckRoute = require('./Route');
import DeckRouter = require('./Router');
module Deck {
export module Database.Postgres {
export class Client extends DeckDatabasePostgresClient {}
export interface ConfigInterface extends DeckDatabasePostgresConfigInterface {}
}
export class App extends DeckApp {}
export class Route extends DeckRoute {}
export class Router extends DeckRouter {}
}
export = Deck;
I wonder if something similar to the following is feasible in Typescript:
module Deck {
export import App = require('./App');
}
However, when attempting this, I encounter the following error:
Import declarations in an internal module cannot reference an external module.
