Quick Start

Prerequisite: nodejs, Lua 5.3, VSCode

  1. Build Project
npm install
npm run build
  1. Compile test.ts

create file test.ts

declare var print: any;

class Person {
    protected name: string;
    constructor(name: string) { this.name = name; }
}

class Employee extends Person {
    private department: string;

    constructor(name: string, department: string) {
        super(name);
        this.department = department;
    }

    public get ElevatorPitch() {
        return `Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I work in ${this.department}.`;
    }
