TypeScript Schema Automatic Generator

Read config files and generate json schema files

Installation

This program requires Node.js to run.

npm install --global @ts-schema-autogen/cli

Usages

The program will scan through directory tree from working directory and search for config files whose names end with .schema.autogen.{json,yaml} to perform actions.

Config File

A config file is a JSON or YAML file that satisfies the Config type or config.schema.json JSON schema.

Config files whose names end with either .schema.autogen.json or .schema.autogen.yaml will be scanned by ts-schema-autogen, others will be skipped.

A config file can inherit compilerOptions and schemaSettings from other config files via extends property.

If your editor support IntelliSense for JSON schemas (such as Visual Studio Code), it is recommended that you have $schema property set to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ksxnodeapps/ts-schema-autogen/master/packages/schemas/config.schema.json. Alternatively, you can use npm to install @ts-schema-autogen/schemas and set $schema property to ./node_modules/@ts-schema-autogen/schemas/config.schema.json.

Examples

Read 1 symbol from 1 TypeScript file and create 1 schema file

input.ts

export interface MyType {
  foo: 123
  bar: 456
}

.schema.autogen.json

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ksxnodeapps/ts-schema-autogen/master/packages/schemas/config.schema.json",
  "instruction": {
    "compilerOptions": {
      "strictNullChecks": true,
      "strict": true,
      "target": "ES2018",
      "noEmit": true,
      "lib": ["ESNext"]
    },
    "schemaSettings": {
      "required": true
    },
    "input": "input.ts",
    "symbol": "MyType",
    "output": "output.json"
  }
}

Read 2 symbols from 2 TypeScript files and create 2 schema files

foo.ts

/// <reference path="./bar.ts" />
export interface Foo {
  readonly bar?: Bar
}

bar.ts

/// <reference path="./foo.ts" />
export interface Bar {
  readonly foo?: Foo
}

.schema.autogen.json

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ksxnodeapps/ts-schema-autogen/master/packages/schemas/config.schema.json",
  "instruction": {
    "compilerOptions": {
      "strictNullChecks": true,
      "strict": true,
      "target": "ES2018",
      "noEmit": true,
      "lib": ["ESNext"]
    },
    "schemaSettings": {
      "required": true
    },
    "input": [
      "foo.ts",
      "bar.ts"
    ],
    "list": [
      {
        "symbol": "Foo",
        "output": "foo.schema.json"
      },
      {
        "symbol": "Bar",
        "output": "bar.schema.json"
      }
    ]
  }
}

If you have multiple config files, you may want to use extends to inherit compilerOptions and schemaSettings from a common source

settings.json

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ksxnodeapps/ts-schema-autogen/master/packages/schemas/config.schema.json",
  "instruction": {
    "compilerOptions": {
      "strictNullChecks": true,
      "strict": true,
      "target": "ES2018",
      "noEmit": true,
      "lib": ["ESNext"]
    },
    "schemaSettings": {
      "required": true
    }
  }
}

foo.schema.autogen.json

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ksxnodeapps/ts-schema-autogen/master/packages/schemas/config.schema.json",
  "extends": "settings.json",
  "instruction": {
    "input": "foo.ts",
    "symbol": "Foo",
    "output": "foo.schema.json"
  }
}

bar.schema.autogen.json

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ksxnodeapps/ts-schema-autogen/master/packages/schemas/config.schema.json",
  "extends": "settings.json",
  "instruction": {
    "input": "bar.ts",
    "symbol": "Bar",
    "output": "bar.schema.json"
  }
}
