Rosetta

C# to TypeScript via Roslyn

Overview

Status: Work in progress

Rosetta is a project for converting C# code into TypeScript. I do this by means of project Roslyn. Rosetta is also a toolset for providing help while converting yourr codebase to TypeScript. The overall solution includes the following tools:

• Rosetta The transpiler to convert ScriptSharp C# code into TypeScript.
• Rosetta ScriptSharp definition generator A tool to generate TypeScript definition files out of your ScriptSharp C# codebase.

How it works

Rosetta is written in C# and performs syntax analysis of C# code in order to convert it into TypeScript. There are many applications, however Rosetta is developed with those specific ones as targets:

• Providing a tool for converting c#-to-javascript (like ScriptSharp) codebases into TypeScript.
• Providing a tool for converting C# codebases into TypeScript.
• Providing tools for migrating C#-based codebases into TypeScript.

The translation works by traversing the C# AST generated via Roslyn and generating output accordingly to syntax structures encountered during the tree walking.

Requirements

Rosetta relies can be executed on the following platforms:

• Windows

Rosetta depends on:

• The .NET Framework 4.0+.
• Project Roslyn.
