Package Exports
- haystack-codegen
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (haystack-codegen) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Installation
npm install haystack-codegenOr to install globally...
npm install haystack-codegen --globalUse
Use the -t option to specify a space separated list of tags. For example, to create all the TypeScript code for a site and ahu tag...
defcodegen -t site ahuIf you want to generate TypeScript for all of the tags in a defs database run...
defcodegen -t *all*Tip: try running typedoc on the generated code for some nice looking HTML documentation!
Generating a file
The tool runs relative to the directory it is run in. The default generated file path is ./src/haystack/types.ts. An alternative file can be specified via the -f option...
defcodegen -t site ahu -f ./src/foo/bar.tsSpecifying the defs
The tool uses defs to generate TypeScript code. The defs database can be specified in a number of ways. By default...
- The tool looks for the
FIN_HOMEenvironment variable. If found, the defs will be compiled from the$FIN_HOME/lib/poddirectory. - The tool looks for the
FAN_HOMEenvironment variable. If found, the defs will be compiled from the$FAN_HOME/lib.fandirectory. In this scenario only POD files that start withphwill be used. - As a last resort, the tool will fallback to the def library embedded into
haystack-codegen. Please note, this library could easily become out of date quickly.
Loading defs from a server
Due to the dynamic nature of defs, the most commonly used way is to load defs from a running server.
Ensure server authentication is disabled when doing this (for FIN/SkySpark use the -noAuth option on start up).
For instance, to generate the TypeScript code for the site tag from a server's demo project...
defcodegen -t site -u http://localhost:8080/api/demoHelp
