James Manning ae4e55ab1a Need to 'declare' the Spinner class ... In TypeScript 0.8.1.1, a 'declare' is needed in front of the 'class Spinner', since without it the compiler attempts to compile it as an actual class definition, and fails with: Message: Overload declaration lacks definition Line number: 27 Column number: 5 Source error:  Line 26: class Spinner { Line 27:     constructor (options?: SpinnerOptions); -------------^ Line 28:     spin(target?: any); The test in the typescript codebase that confirms this is intentional behavior is in tests/compiler/class.ts http://typescript.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/2bee84410e02#tests/compiler/class.ts **** describe('Testing function signatures inside classes', function () {    it('Regression test - was previously giving runtime error', function () {        var code = "class A { a(completed: () => any): void; }";        Harness.Compiler.compileString(code, 'fnsig-inside-classes', function (result) {            assert.compilerWarning(result, 1, 10, 'Overload declaration lacks definition');            assert.equal(result.errors.length, 1);        });    }); }); **** The compiler code that implements the check is in src/compiler/signatures.ts http://typescript.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/2bee84410e02#src/compiler/signatures.ts **** if (!hasConstruct && !this.definitionSignature && this.signatures[i].declAST && this.signatures[i].declAST.isOverload && !hasFlag(this.signatures[i].declAST.fncFlags, FncFlags.Ambient)) {     checker.errorReporter.simpleError(this.signatures[i].declAST, "Overload declaration lacks definition"); } **** By adding the 'declare', we tell the TypeScript compiler that this is just intending to expose the API of the class, not the actual implementation.		2012-12-20 11:02:45 -05:00
