I want to convert some JavaScript code I've written into TypeScript. I'm rather new to TypeScript syntax and way of thinking, as a JavaScript developer.
What is giving me a headache is the hard time I've had to convert some piece of code that uses the Revealing Module Pattern into TypeScript.
One example is the below:
//JS Code
var obj;
//code...
(function(){
function myFunction(){
//do work
}
function MyOtherConstructor(){
return {
publicMethod: myFunction
}
}
obj = new MyOtherConstructor();
})();
//use obj.publicMethod in code later
One workaround I've thought was this:
//TypeScript code
var obj;
class MyOtherConstructor {
private callback: any;
constructor(f: any){
this.callback = f;
}
publicMethod(): any{
this.callback();
}
}
//code...
(() => {
function myFunction(){
//do work
console.log("Called myFunction");
}
obj = new MyOtherConstructor(myFunction);
})();
//use obj.publicMethod in code later
which works, but it's ugly.
Any suggestion how make this better?
