Please consider sending a pull request to ts-for-gjs with definitions
and tests for registerClass, if you have time before I can write them.
It's a relatively new thing, haven't needed it yet. So far the focus has
been on GObject introspection. Definitions for other built-ins, such as
package, signals and system, would be helpful too.
Unfortunately I'm a complete newbie with both gjs and typescript, so I wouldn't really know how to make such definitions, or even know for sure if registerClass is (still) officially supported.
Wouldn't say that has-a relationships and signals are an old way, just
one of the ways and quite useful at that.
Yes, it does the job, but it seems a shame that I can't take advantage of all the facilities that should be available by using GObject with an OO language. I suppose a good way to proceed for now would be to compromise by deriving Typescript classes from GObject classes but assume that I can't override native virtual functions this way and use signals instead.
