# BangleTS
A generic project setup for compiling apps from Typescript to Bangle.js ready, readable Javascript.
It includes types for _some_ of the modules and globals that are exposed for apps to use.
The goal is to have types for everything, but that will take some time. Feel free to help out by contributing!
## Using the types

All currently typed modules can be found in `/typescript/types.globals.d.ts`.
The typing is an ongoing process. If anything is still missing, you can add it! It will automatically be available in your TS files.
## Compilation
Install [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm) and node.js if you haven't already. We recommend using a version manager like nvm, which is also referenced in the linked documentation.
Make sure you are using node version 16 by running `nvm use 16` and npm version ^8 by running `npm -v`. If the latter version is incorrect, run `npm i -g npm@^8`.

After having installed npm for your platform, open a terminal, and navigate into the `/typescript` folder. Then run:
```
npm ci
```
to install the project's build tools, and:
```
npm run build
```
To build all Typescript apps and widgets. The last command will generate the `app.js` files containing the transpiled code for the BangleJS.
