Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Compile json schema to typescript typings

Example

Input:

{
  "title": "Example Schema",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "firstName": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "lastName": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "age": {
      "description": "Age in years",
      "type": "integer",
      "minimum": 0
    },
    "hairColor": {
      "enum": ["black", "brown", "blue"],
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "additionalProperties": false,
  "required": ["firstName", "lastName"]
}

Output:

export interface ExampleSchema {
  firstName: string;
  lastName: string;
  /**
   * Age in years
   */
  age?: number;
  hairColor?: "black" | "brown" | "blue";
}

Installation

# Using Yarn:
yarn add json-schema-to-typescript

# Or, using NPM:
npm install json-schema-to-typescript --save

Usage

import { compile, compileFromFile } from 'json-schema-to-typescript'

// compile from file
compileFromFile('foo.json')
  .then(ts => fs.writeFileSync('foo.d.ts', ts))

// or, compile a JS object
let mySchema = {
  properties: [...]
}
compile(mySchema, 'MySchema')
  .then(ts => ...)

See server demo and browser demo for full examples.

Options

compileFromFile and compile accept options as their last argument (all keys are optional):

| key | type | default | description | |-|-|-|-| | additionalProperties | boolean | true | Default value for additionalProperties, when it is not explicitly set | | bannerComment | string | "/* eslint-disable */\n/**\n* This file was automatically generated by json-schema-to-typescript.\n* DO NOT MODIFY IT BY HAND. Instead, modify the source JSONSchema file,\n* and run json-schema-to-typescript to regenerate this file.\n*/" | Disclaimer comment prepended to the top of each generated file | | cwd | string | process.cwd() | Root directory for resolving $refs | | declareExternallyReferenced | boolean | true | Declare external schemas referenced via $ref? | | enableConstEnums | boolean | true | Prepend enums with const? | | format | boolean | true | Format code? Set this to false to improve performance. | | ignoreMinAndMaxItems | boolean | false | Ignore maxItems and minItems for array types, preventing tuples being generated. | | maxItems | number | 20 | Maximum number of unioned tuples to emit when representing bounded-size array types, before falling back to emitting unbounded arrays. Increase this to improve precision of emitted types, decrease it to improve performance, or set it to -1 to ignore maxItems. | strictIndexSignatures | boolean | false | Append all index signatures with \| undefined so that they are strictly typed. | | style | object | { bracketSpacing: false, printWidth: 120, semi: true, singleQuote: false, tabWidth: 2, trailingComma: 'none', useTabs: false } | A Prettier configuration | | unknownAny | boolean | true | Use unknown instead of any where possible | | unreachableDefinitions | boolean | false | Generates code for $defs that aren't referenced by the schema. | | $refOptions | object | {} | $RefParser Options, used when resolving $refs |

CLI

A CLI utility is provided with this package.

cat foo.json | json2ts > foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts foo.json > foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts foo.json foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts --input foo.json --output foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts -i foo.json -o foo.d.ts
# or (quote globs so that your shell doesn't expand them)
json2ts -i 'schemas/**/*.json'
# or
json2ts -i schemas/ -o types/

You can pass any of the options described above (including style options) as CLI flags. Boolean values can be set to false using the no- prefix.

# generate code for definitions that aren't referenced
json2ts -i foo.json -o foo.d.ts --unreachableDefinitions
# use single quotes and disable trailing semicolons
json2ts -i foo.json -o foo.d.ts --style.singleQuote --no-style.semi

  • [x] Nested properties
  • [x] Schema definitions
  • [x] Schema references
  • [x] Local (filesystem) schema references
  • [x] External (network) schema references
  • [x] Add support for running in browser
  • [x] default interface name
  • [x] infer unnamed interface name from filename
  • [x] allOf ("intersection")
  • [x] anyOf ("union")
  • [x] oneOf (treated like anyOf)
  • [x] maxItems (eg)
  • [x] minItems (eg)
  • [x] additionalProperties of type
  • [x] patternProperties (partial support)

Custom schema properties:

  • tsType:
  • string: Overrides the type that's generated from the schema. Useful for forcing a type to any or when using non-standard JSON schema extensions (eg)
  • object:
    • module: import path to use
    • name: name of the import
    • defaultExport: import from default export
    • typeOnly: import only as type
  • tsEnumNames: Overrides the names used for the elements in an enum. Can also be used to create string enums (eg).

FAQ

JSON-Schema-to-TypeScript is crashing on my giant file. What can I do?

Prettier is known to run slowly on really big files. To skip formatting and improve performance, set the format option to false.
