✨ Features

• ⚡ Optimized performance and easy to use
• 🔧 Easily integrates with TypeScript projects

📦 Installation

Install via npm or yarn:

npm install @namcaodev/postman-codegen
# or
yarn add @namcaodev/postman-codegen

🚀 Usage

1. Create codegen.config.cjs

To configure the library, create a codegen.config.cjs file in your root project with the following examples options:

/**
 * @namcaodev/postman-codegen configuration.
 *
 * @type {import("@namcaodev/postman-codegen").CodegenConfig}
 */

module.exports = {
  generateType: 'seperate', // 'seperate' | 'combine',
  generateMode: 'json_file', // 'fetch' | 'json_file'
  postmanFetchConfigs: {
    collectionId: '<YOUR_COLLECTION_ID>',
    collectionAccessKey: '<YOUR_COLLECTION_ACCESS_KEY>'
  }, // Config for fetch Postman document (Require when generate mode is fetch)
  postmanJsonPath: "examples/postman-collection.json", // Postman Json Path (Require when generate mode is json_file)
  generateOutputPath: "examples/generated", // Generated Folder path
  propertyApiGetList: "items", // API response field containing list data
  enableZodGeneration: true, // Enable zod schema generation
  typeConfigs: {
    allPropertiesOptional: true, // Mark all properties as optional
    inferEnums: true, // inferEnums to string
    inferDateTimes: true, // inferDateTimes to string
  }, // Type configs for generate (Optional)
  fetcher: "../../../helpers/fetcher", // Link to your custom fetcher
  generateFileNames: {
    requestType: "apiRequests.ts",
    queryType: "apiQueries.ts",
    responseType: "apiResponses.ts",
    queryOptions: "query.ts",
    mutationOptions: "mutation.ts",
  }, // Customize generated file names (Optional)
};

2. Run the command

After adding the configuration file, run the following command to generate the code:

npx postman-codegen

The generated files will be saved in the folder specified in generateOutputPath (e.g., generated).

3. Usage in React Component

Next, easy usage in your React Component with full type safe power demo.tsx

import React from "react";
import { useQuery } from "@tanstack/react-query";
import {
  newmanGetRequestQueryOptions,
  newmanGetRequestQueryKeys,
} from "./generated/newman-get-request/query";

const DemoCodegen = () => {
  const query = useQuery({
    ...newmanGetRequestQueryOptions({
      source: "test",
    }),
  });
  const queryKeys = newmanGetRequestQueryKeys({ source: "test" });
  console.log("Data response", query);
  console.log("Query keys", queryKeys);
  return <div>DemoCodegen</div>;
};

export default DemoCodegen;

⚠️ Warning

With your custom fetcher you must follow the standard interface and function creation here:

export interface CustomFetchParams<TBody> {
  url: string;
  method: string;
  options?: RequestInit;
  body?: TBody;
}

export const customFetch = async <TResponseData = undefined, TBody = undefined>(
  params: CustomFetchParams<TBody>
): Promise<TResponseData> => {
  // You will handle your fetch here
};

export default customFetch; // You must be export default it

You can see an example in the source code here: fetcher.ts and how it is handled here: queryWithParams.hbs.

🔧 Configuration Options

📌 Notes:

• If generateMode = 'fetch', both postmanFetchConfigs.collectionId and postmanFetchConfigs.collectionAccessKey are required.

• If generateMode = 'json_file', postmanJsonPath is required.

• ⚡ Using generateMode = 'fetch' allows you to sync updates from your backend in Postman documents instantly.
