ts-transformer-shape
A custom TypeScript transformation to extract object structure from interface
Requirement
TypeScript >= 2.4.1
How to use this package
This package exports 2 functions.
One is shape
which is used in TypeScript codes to obtain shape of given type, while the other is a TypeScript custom transformer which is used to compile the shape
function correctly.
How to use shape
import { shape } from '@huston007/ts-transformer-shape';
interface Props {
id: string;
age: {test: number};
}
const keysOfProps = shape<Props>();
console.log(keysOfProps); // {id: null, age: {test: null}}
How to use the custom transformer
Unfortunately, TypeScript itself does not currently provide any easy way to use custom transformers (See https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/14419). The followings are the example usage of the custom transformer.
webpack (with ts-loader or awesome-typescript-loader)
See examples/webpack for detail.
// webpack.config.js
const shapeTransformer = require('@huston007/ts-transformer-shape/transformer').default;
module.exports = {
// ...
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.ts$/,
loader: 'ts-loader', // or 'awesome-typescript-loader'
options: {
getCustomTransformers: program => ({
before: [
shapeTransformer(program)
]
})
}
}
]
}
};
Rollup (with rollup-plugin-typescript2)
See examples/rollup for detail.
// rollup.config.js
import typescript from 'rollup-plugin-typescript2';
import shapeTransformer from '@huston007/ts-transformer-shape/transformer';
export default {
// ...
plugins: [
typescript({ transformers: [service => ({
before: [ shapeTransformer(service.getProgram()) ],
after: []
})] })
]
};
ttypescript
See examples/ttypescript for detail. See ttypescript's README for how to use this with module bundlers such as webpack or Rollup.
// tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
// ...
"plugins": [
{ "transform": "ts-transformer-shape/transformer" }
]
},
// ...
}
TypeScript API
See test for detail.
You can try it with $ npm test
.
const ts = require('typescript');
const shapeTransformer = require('@huston007/ts-transformer-shape/transformer').default;
const program = ts.createProgram([/* your files to compile */], {
strict: true,
noEmitOnError: true,
target: ts.ScriptTarget.ES5
});
const transformers = {
before: [shapeTransformer(program)],
after: []
};
const { emitSkipped, diagnostics } = program.emit(undefined, undefined, undefined, false, transformers);
if (emitSkipped) {
throw new Error(diagnostics.map(diagnostic => diagnostic.messageText).join('\n'));
}
As a result, the TypeScript code shown here is compiled into the following JavaScript.
"use strict";
Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });
var ts_transformer_keys_1 = require("ts-transformer-shape");
var keysOfProps = ["id", "name", "age"];
console.log(keysOfProps); // ['id', 'name', 'age']
Note
- The
keys
function can only be used as a call expression. Writing something likekeys.toString()
results in a runtime error. keys
does not work with a dynamic type parameter, i.e.,keys<T>()
in the following code is converted to an empty array([]
).
class MyClass<T extends object> {
keys() {
return keys<T>();
}
}
