dtsgenerator({
    contents: [parseSchema({/* JsonSchema object */})],
    config: {/* Config object */},
}).then(content => {
    /* Do someting with parsed content */
}).catch(err => {
    /* Handle errors */

Use HTTP/HTTPS Proxy

If you need a proxy to fetch the schema, please set the following environment variables.

export http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:8080/
export https_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:8080/
# If there are exceptionally hosts that do not go through a proxy
export no_proxy=google.com, yahoo.com

Migration from v2

The dtsgenerator v3 has made the following braking changes from v2.

• Support Plug-in feature. See the Plug-in section for more information.
• Change the command line options.
  • Remove the --namespace option. Use the @dtsgenerator/replace-namespace plug-in instead.
  • Add the --config option. Mainly for setting up the Plug-in.
  • And add more options.
• TypeScript AST is now used internally to generate type definitions.

Plug-in

How to find plug-in

• Search by npm: https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=dtsgenerator%20plugin
• Find by the @dtsgenerator repositories: https://github.com/dtsgenerator
  • @dtsgenerator/replace-namespace : This plug-in is instead the --namespace option on old version.
  • @dtsgenerator/decorate-typename : This plug-in can decorate the output type name.
  • @dtsgenerator/single-quote : This plug-in replace the quote mark to single.

How to create plug-in

1. Scaffold by the command:
   • npm init @dtsgenerator **plugin-name**
2. Edit **plugin-name**/index.ts
3. Do test:
   • npm test
4. Build it:
   • npm run build
5. Publish to npm:
   • npm publish
