Build Status:
TypeLite Plus is the utility that generates TypeScript definitions from .NET classes.
It's especially useful to keep your TypeScript classes on the client in sync with your POCO classes on the server.
This project is a fork of the original TypeLITE project, which is no longer being maintained.
TypeLite Plus has been recompiled for .NET Standard 2.0, so it can be used in all modern .NET app development.
TypeLite Plus has 4 NuGet packages. In most cases, you'll just add the TypeLitePlus metapackage to your project. That package references the following packages:
TypeLitePlus.Core: the core library that contains all of the generator logic and attributes.TypeLitePlus.T4: contains the Example T4 template and the Manager.ttinclude file.
If you're building a .NET Core project, you're likely to run into issues where the Visual Studio reflection mechanism is loading .NET Framework versions of certain DLLs instead of .NET Core versions. .NET Core does not have a concept of Assembly Binding Redirects, so there is no solution to the problem under the current Visual Studio architecture. This renders the T4 system unusable for .NET Core projects.
There will be a fix coming in the .NET Core 3.0 timeframe. In the meantime, there's a different solution. DotNet-Script uses the Roslyn scripting APIs to execute CSX scripts on .NET Core. CSX files even let you pull in NuGet packages as references.
First, you'll need to open a console and type dotnet tool install -g dotnet-script. That will install DotNet-Script into the .NET Core toolchain. Then
you can use the following NuGet package:
TypeLitePlus.DotNetScript: contains the Example CSX script.
More instructions TBD.

Added: Support for specifying the module output order using the .WithModuleSortOrder(namespace, int) option.
Added: Support for outputting Enum values as strings using the .WithEnumMode(TsEnumModes.String) option.
Added: Rewritten for .NET Standard 2.0 support. Now works in any .NET project now.
Added: DotNet-Script support for executing in .NET Core application (due to differences in reflection contexts between VS and .NET Core).
Added: Support for outputting types as concrete Classes using the .WithMode(TsGenerationModes.Classes) option.
Fixed: Manager.tt is now powered by a scaled-back version of the TemplateFileManager that ships with EF6. It's lighter and easier to maintain than the previous one.
Fixed: #128 nested inner classes has incorrect module name
Fixed: Nested IEnumerables caused infinite loop Fixed: Use namespace instead of deprecated module keyword
Fixed: Do not generate empty modules Fixed: Export constants with const keyword
Added: Added ForReferencedAssembly extension method
Fixed: #118, #113 Issues with Visual Studio 2015 Update 2
Fixed: Error generating documentation with type params
Added: Added alternative generator for KnockoutModels (see https://bitbucket.org/svakinn/typelite/overview)
Fixed: #82 more deterministic ordering of generated code
Fixed: #103 types overridden in converter still appear in generated code
Added: New extension method that register all derived typesTypesDervivedFrom
Fixed: #110 interface for classes with a base class
Added: #109 support for System.Sbyte
Fixed: Error generating JsDoc in case of the name of the assembly contains a space
Fixed: Problem with the binaries version in 1.5.0
Added: Implemented support for interface inheritance.
Added: Added support for [TsIgnore] attribute on classes
Added: #95, #96 Adds option to generate enums without 'const' modifier. Use TypeScript.AsConstEnums(false) in your TypeLite.tt file.
Fixed: #94 TsGeneratorOutput isn't treated as flag in AppendEnumDefinition
Fixed: #90 export const enum for compatibility with TypeScript 1.5
Added: #89 Added support for Windows Phone 8.1 as target platform
Added: #73 Added support for generating JSDoc comments from XML documentation. Works only in .NET 4, needs XML Doc files. Use .WithJSDoc()
Added: #86 Support for classes outside modules. A TS class is generated outside module if the source .NET class isn't in a namespace or if [TsClass(Module = "")] attribute is used.

Fixed Incorrect output of type convertor if the module is specified
Fixed #15: Problems with enum underlaying types
Fixed #18: ModelVisitor visits enums
Added #7: Type convertors
Added #9: Fluent configuration for classes
Added #12: Generation of enums
Fixed #13: TypeScript 0.9.1 uses boolean keyword instead of bool
Fixed #11: Typescript 0.9 requires declare keyword in the module definition
Enhancement #10: Converted project to Portable class library
Fixed #4: DateTime type conversion results in invalid type definition
Fixed #5: Generic classes result in invalid interface definitions
Fixed #6: Properties with System.Guid type result in invalid typescript code
Fixed #2: TsIgnore-attribute doesn't work with properties
