All the tools I wrote I looked at the docs and wrote each methods by hand. Sometimes I even ran the code to see what type the method expects since some methods are not documented at all. Digging inside JS frameworks is an interesting adventure. I ve seen some nasty things :)
Hard work I agree. But This gives me a better understanding of the libraries I m wrapping. This also gives me the chance to make the API more javaish. If you are going to taylor the tool afterward you will have to go through the entire library anyway to make sure all methods are corrects. 2013/12/11 David Hoffer <[email protected]> > How do you handle that same case when writing the wrapper manually?
