ts2php

library0.30.3jsnpmunverified

ts2php is a TypeScript to PHP transpiler (v0.30.3, latest release Jan 2021) that converts TypeScript/JavaScript code into PHP. It aims to enable code sharing between front-end and back-end by translating TypeScript into PHP. Key differentiators: it supports a large subset of TypeScript features including classes, interfaces, generics, async/await, and standard library polyfills. It is read-only (not a bidirectional bridge) and generates PHP code that can be used in any PHP project. Releases have slowed, indicating maintenance mode. Requires TypeScript ^3.7.0 as a peer dependency.

Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import ts2php from 'ts2php'

✗ const ts2php = require('ts2php')

ts2php ships both ESM and CJS; use ESM for modern projects.

transpile

✓ import { transpile } from 'ts2php'

✗ const { transpile } = require('ts2php');

Named export 'transpile' is available since v0.28.

CompileOptions

✓ import type { CompileOptions } from 'ts2php'

✗ import { CompileOptions } from 'ts2php'

CompileOptions is only a type, compile it with import type.

Transpiles a simple TypeScript function to PHP using ts2php with type declarations enabled.

import ts2php from 'ts2php'; const code = ` function add(a: number, b: number): number { return a + b; } `; const result = ts2php(code, { declare: true, }); console.log(result); // Output: PHP source code with declared types if enabled.

Debug

Known issues

breakingRequires TypeScript >= 3.7.0 as peer dependency. Older TypeScript versions are incompatible.

fix

Install TypeScript 3.7.0 or later: npm install typescript@^3.7.0

affects: <0.28

gotchaDo not use require() in Node.js CJS context; use ESM import or call the module with a different syntax.

fix

Use ESM imports: import ts2php from 'ts2php';

affects: >=0.30.0

deprecatedThe compile() function was renamed to transpile() in v0.28.

fix

Use transpile() instead.

affects: <0.28

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: ts2php is not a function

Using require() on an ESM-only export in Node.js CJS context.

fix

Use ESM import: import ts2php from 'ts2php';

Cannot find module 'typescript'

Missing TypeScript peer dependency.

fix

Install typescript: npm install typescript@^3.7.0

Error: Supplied options.modules is not supported

Invalid modules option passed to transpile().

fix

Use valid modules option: 'commonjs' or 'esm' (not 'amd' or 'system').
