News Summary

• Three years in the making, TypeScript Transformer 3 is finally here.
• In this blog post we go through what's new and why we did a rewrite.
• In the previous version the flow was cumbersome: you had a Collector that would search for classes within your codebase satisfying a certain condition.
• In v3 we've ditched the Collector concept.
• We take every class within your application, pass it through all transformers and the first transformer to return a valid Transformed object wins.
• For example, a Transformed provider could generate a Laravel route helper function that creates route URLs in TypeScript like it would in PHP.
• Another could add additional types like paginated collections to your TypeScript codebase, or share permission definitions and configuration values with the frontend.
