> Compile JSON Schema to TypeScript typings.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
Check out the [live demo](https://borischerny.com/json-schema-to-typescript-browser/).
|
|
|
|
Input:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"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:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
export interface ExampleSchema {
|
|
firstName: string;
|
|
lastName: string;
|
|
/**
|
|
* Age in years
|
|
*/
|
|
age?: number;
|
|
hairColor?: "black" | "brown" | "blue";
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm install json-schema-to-typescript
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
json-schema-to-typescript is easy to use via the CLI, or programmatically.
|
|
|
|
### CLI
|
|
|
|
First make the CLI available using one of the following options:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# install locally, then use `npx json2ts`
|
|
npm install json-schema-to-typescript
|
|
|
|
# or install globally, then use `json2ts`
|
|
npm install json-schema-to-typescript --global
|
|
|
|
# or install to npm cache, then use `npx --package=json-schema-to-typescript json2ts`
|
|
# (you don't need to run an install command first)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, use the CLI to convert JSON files to TypeScript typings:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cat foo.json | json2ts > foo.d.ts
|
|
# or
|
|
json2ts foo.json > foo.d.ts
|
|
# or
|
|
json2ts foo.yaml 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 below (including style options) as CLI flags. Boolean values can be set to false using the `no-` prefix.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### API
|
|
|
|
To invoke json-schema-to-typescript from your TypeScript or JavaScript program, import it and call `compile` or `compileFromFile`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
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](example) and [browser demo](https://github.com/bcherny/json-schema-to-typescript-browser) 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 JSON Schema file,\n* and run json-schema-to-typescript to regenerate this file.\n*/"` | Disclaimer comment prepended to the top of each generated file |
|
|
| customName | `(LinkedJSONSchema, string \| undefined) => string \| undefined` | `undefined` | Custom function to provide a type name for a given schema

|
|
| 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](https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html) configuration |

## Custom schema properties:
|
|
|
|
- `tsType`: 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](https://github.com/sokra/json-schema-to-typescript/blob/f1f40307cf5efa328522bb1c9ae0b0d9e5f367aa/test/e2e/customType.ts)).
|
|
- `tsEnumNames`: Overrides the names used for the elements in an enum. Can also be used to create string enums ([eg](https://github.com/johnbillion/wp-json-schemas/blob/647440573e4a675f15880c95fcca513fdf7a2077/schemas/properties/post-status-name.json)).

## 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`.
