⚠️ WORK IN PROGRESS ⚠️

Converts TypeScript into Haxe.

This tool does not seamlessly convert TS to Haxe, but rather helps to transition your codebase. It just covers syntax differences, basic types and some extra stuff that might come in handy.

Requirements

• Node.js >= 16

Usage

1. git clone https://github.com/alexeychikk/ts2hx.git
2. cd ./ts2hx
3. npm i
4. npm start -- ./path/to/your/tsconfig.json ./output/folder/path

$ npm start -- -h
Usage: cli [options] <ts-config-path> <output-dir-path>

Arguments:
  ts-config-path                        path to tsconfig.json of your project
