Cannot find import statement

[AndreasMurk]

Hi guys!

When we create a TranspilationRequest we want to use the java.util.Scanner;

We use Java Files to process the response and transpile it to TypeScript. But we always need to manually add the import java.util.Scanner; at the beginning of the java file.

For example:

Level1.java:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Level2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        String input = scan.nextLine();

        // Write your Code here


    }
}

When I remove the import statement the transpiler always says that he doesn't find the module Scanner.

Can I attach an import statement to a Printer or to the request itself?

I already tried to import the scanner directly in the subclass ScannerAdapter.

Thanks!

Hello, Thanks for reporting. Actually, the Scanner class isn't supported by the transpiler because there is no obvious matching concept in JavaScript. Nevertheless, you can take a look at J4TS https://github.com/j4ts/j4ts/blob/master/src/main/java/java/util/Scanner.java which aims to provide JSweet/JS implementation for the whole standard Java API
