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 🙏

Readme

Type Crafter

TypeCrafter is a CLI tool for generating types from a YAML types specification for any language. The tool is heavily inspired by OpenAPI Generator and aims to provide similar functionality for generating types with a simple YAML specification & more flexibility.

Installation

npm i -g type-crafter

Usage

type-crafter generate <language> <types-specification-file> <output-directory>

Example

type-crafter generate typescript types.yaml ./types

Example input specification file can be found here

Input Specification

The input specification is a YAML file that contains the types specification. Refer the following sample specification for the structure:

info:
  version: 0.0.0
  title: Title of your specification
types:
  SampleType:
    type: object
    properties:
      name:
        type: string
groupedTypes:
  SampleGroupedType:
    type: object
    properties:
      name:
        type: string

The input specification yaml file must be of following syntax:

  • info - The information about the specification. Specifying the version and title of your spec. This is required.
  • types - These are types that will be generated in flat structure.
  • groupedTypes - These are types that will be generated and grouped in a folder.

Note: Passing types or groupedTypes is up to your expected results. A valid spec file can contain either types or groupedTypes or both.

The syntax for writing different types can be referred from the OpenAPI Data Types Guide.

Supported languages

  • [✔️] TypeScript
  • More languages will be added soon.

Contributing & Extending

Adding support for a new language

TypeCrafter uses Handlebars to template syntax for different languages.

To add support for a new language, you need to create a new folder in src/templates directory. The folder name will be the name of the language. The folder must implement following files:

  • index.ts - The main file that will be exporting the generator config.
  • object-syntax.hbs - This Handlebars template file that will be used to generate the object syntax.
  • type-file-syntax.hbs - This Handlebars template file that will be used to generate the syntax for file which contains the generated types & its imports.
  • exporter-module-syntax.hbs - This Handlebars template file that will be used to generate the syntax for the module that exports the generated types.

Development

To start developing type-crafter, you need to run following commands:

pnpm i
pnpm run dev
