Inheritance

Does Typewriter support inheritance?

public class Report {}

public class SpecificReport : Report {}

Here’s how to import all needed references (for complex objects and inheritance)

string Inherit(Class c)
{
if (c.BaseClass!=null)
	return " extends " + c.BaseClass.ToString();
  else
	 return  "";
}

string Imports(Class c){
  List<string> neededImports = c.Properties
	.Where(p => !p.Type.IsPrimitive)
	.Select(p => "import { " + p.Type.Name.TrimEnd('[',']') + " } from './" + p.Type.Name.TrimEnd('[',']') + "';").ToList();
  if (c.BaseClass != null) { 
	neededImports.Add("import { " + c.BaseClass.Name +" } from './" + c.BaseClass.Name + "';");
  }
  return String.Join("\n", neededImports.Distinct());
}

$Classes(*DTO)[$Imports

export interface $Name$TypeParameters$Inherit {

$Properties[    $name: $Type;
]}
]

Put a code block at the top of your template

${

    string ClassNameWithExtends(Class c) {
        return c.Name +  (c.BaseClass!=null ?  " extends " + c.BaseClass.Name : "");
    }


}

Then you can call it like so:

$Classes(...)[
class $ClassNameWithExtends {

}]
