What if you had *full stack types* for SPAs built with tech like #React, #Inertia, #Vue, #Svelte... but all of the power #AshFramework and #ElixirLang on the backend? Well, you can now.😉 hexdocs.pm/ash_typescri...

Typescript supports elixir structs?

Perhaps I don't know what kind of gleam integration you have in mind? We serialize to/from JSON for typescript. A gleam integration would require similar serialization, but in a situation where no serialization would be necessary for structs.

An "ash on the server, gleam on the client" situation though... that would be possible. Is that what you had in mind? Would it be desirable?

Yes exactly what i was getting at, gleam runs in more than one place and there are reasons why folks would want elixir on the backend and gleam on the frontend. Lustre could be much more appealing to elixir folks than react imo ^.^

So AFAIK it would look almost identical to ash_typescript's current implementation in that case. I likely won't personally make it (like I didn't make AshTypescript) but I'd absolutely advise and support its creation (like I did for AshTypescript) ❤️
