2ts

A CLI to generate TypeScript models based on JSON. Uses the amazing json-ts package by shakyShane under the hood but expands on it to generate files and automatically resolves imports. Much love to the original package creator though, this wouldn't be possible otherwise <3.

Installation

npm install -g @codebrouwers/2ts

Usage

argv.help

Outputs all possible options and their default values. options can be set with --{name} or -{first letter}, like --name or -n.

$ 2ts --help
2ts - by idiidk
  argv.name RootObject
  argv.prefix
  argv.kebab false
  argv.directory false
  argv.clip false
  argv.help true

argv.name

The name of the file and the interface of the root object to be generated. Example:

$ 2ts --name MyRootObject <<< '{ "a": "b" }'
generating MyRootObject
  argv.name MyRootObject
  argv.prefix
  argv.kebab false
  argv.directory false
  argv.clip false
  argv.help false

+ RootObject.ts

$ cat MyRootObject.ts
export interface MyRootObject {
   a: string;
}

argv.prefix

A prefix to use for all files and interfaces to be generated. Example:

$ 2ts --name MyRootObject --prefix Model <<< '{ "a": "b" }'
generating MyRootObject
  argv.name MyRootObject
  argv.prefix Model
  argv.kebab false
  argv.directory false
  argv.clip false
  argv.help false

+ ModelMyRootObject.ts

$ cat ModelMyRootObject.ts
export interface ModelMyRootObject {
    a: string;
}

argv.kebab

Use kebab-case for the generated files but keep the original interface name. Example:

$ 2ts --name MyRootObject --prefix Model --kebab <<< '{ "a": "b" }'
generating MyRootObject
  argv.name MyRootObject
  argv.prefix Model
  argv.kebab true
  argv.directory false
  argv.clip false
  argv.help false

+ model-my-root-object.ts

$ cat model-my-root-object.ts
export interface ModelMyRootObject {
    a: string;
}

argv.directory

Create a directory for all the files generated to be contained in. Example:

$ 2ts --name MyRootObject --prefix Model --kebab --directory <<< '{ "a": "b", "user": { "name": "test" } }'
generating MyRootObject
  argv.name MyRootObject
  argv.prefix Model
  argv.kebab true
  argv.directory true
  argv.clip false
  argv.help false

+ model-my-root-object.ts
+ model-user.ts

$ ls model-my-root-object/
model-my-root-object.ts  model-user.ts

$ cat model-my-root-object/model-user.ts
export interface ModelUser {
    name: string;
}

argv.clip

Use the clipboard as input. Uses clipboardy, a cross-platform library to read the clipboard. No other functionality changes.
