Package Exports

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 (json-schema-to-typescript) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Compile json schema to typescript typings

Example

Input:

{
  "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:

export interface ExampleSchema {
  firstName: string;
  lastName: string;
  /**
   * Age in years
   */
  age?: number;
  hairColor?: "black" | "brown" | "blue";
}

Installation

# Using Yarn:
yarn add json-schema-to-typescript

# Or, using NPM:
npm install json-schema-to-typescript --save

Usage

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 and browser demo for full examples.

Options

compileFromFile and compile accept options as their last argument (all keys are optional):

key type note
bannerComment string Disclaimer comment prepended to the top of each generated file
cwd string Root directory for resolving $refs
declareExternallyReferenced boolean Declare external schemas referenced via $ref?
enableConstEnums boolean Prepend enums with const?
style object A Prettier configuration
unreachableDefinitions boolean Generates code for definitions that aren't referenced by the schema.

CLI

A simple CLI utility is provided with this package.

cat foo.json | json2ts > foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts foo.json > foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts foo.json foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts --input foo.json --output foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts -i foo.json -o foo.d.ts

You can pass any of the options described above (including style options) as CLI flags. Boolean values can be set to false using the no- prefix.

# 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
