Is it possible to and can anyone give me an example of using Typescript to write a jQuery plugin. I feel like the plugin structure would be much more maintainable and readable if plugins were written as classes, but I can't find any examples of that online. My idea is basically as follows, but I don't know if it will work.

class Modalify{

  constructor(public options: Object) {}

  public doSomething() {
    console.log(this.options);
  }

}

$.fn.modalify = Modalify;

edit this is not a duplicate because I am specifically looking for the es2015 way of doing this. The possible duplicate is using regular javascript and just trying to add typing support

  • It is possible and your way looks fine. However the answer to this question would be primarily opinion based and likely to generate a lot unnecessary of discussion. If you seek to improve your code you can use the codereview site codereview.stackexchange.com Commented Apr 22, 2016 at 21:33
  • @KhairulIslam see my edit. The post you tagged as the duplicate is still using es5 syntax. I am looking to use classes with jQuery plugins Commented Apr 22, 2016 at 22:51
