[Discussion]: proposed changes

[gomain]

Thank You for the amazing work put into creating this tool.

However, I had to fork this repo in order to make some tweaks to suit my use case. Here are the changes made:

Emit imports with import type ... when importing only types

This is to comply with my tsconfig option "importsNotUsedAsValues": "error".

Append .js to imported module

To comply with ESM.

Expand glob patterns internally

So that I can write a

  "scripts": { 
    "generate": "wsdl-tsconfig './wsdl/**/*.wsdl' -o ./generated"
  }

Support wsdl URI as either path or URL

Such that the build is up-to-date with the live service without having redownload the wsdls. Build/tests would break when service makes breaking changes.

Pre-configure createClientAsync with provided URI

The wsdl URI should only have to be provided once. The exported createClientAsync still takes the remaining parameters which could conflict with the parsing - room for improvement here.

---

I ended up not utilizing glob matching and build against live wsdls.

This PR is only intended to start a discussion on whether these features are general useful. If so, we may discuss on extracting some changes to own PR, adding configuration flags, testing, implementation review etc..
