Genrate typescript types from slint ui files using tree sitter

Example

ui.slint

struct CPUData {
    number: int,
    active: bool,
}

export component Window inherits Window {
    title: "BurnCPU";
    in-out property <[CPUData]> cpu-data: [];
    in property <int> active-cpus: 0;
    callback toggleCPU(int, bool) -> bool;

$ slintgen ui.slint > ui.ts

ui.ts

export interface CPUData {
  number: number;
  active: boolean;
}

export interface Window {
  title: any;
  cpu_data: CPUData[];
  active_cpus: number;
  toggleCPU: (arg0: number, arg1: boolean) => boolean;
  run: () => Promise<void>;
}

I also made a deno port https://github.com/sigmaSd/slintgen/tree/master/deno using tree sitter wasm bindings, it can simply run like this

deno run --reload --allow-read --allow-net https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sigmaSd/slintgen/master/deno/main.ts ui.slint > ui.ts

That's really cool :)

This is great! Thanks for sharing.

This is something we would also like to have built in into Slint itself at some point.
(It should probably be built in in the Slint compiler rather then using the tree-sitter though)

I would love to have this be an official thing!
