@pentops/jsonapi-jdef-ts-generator v0.0.127

jsonapi-jdef-ts-generator

Generate types and API client functionality from a api.json file served by your registry.

Getting Started

Install @pentops/jsonapi-jdef-ts-generator as a dev dependency and @pentops/jsonapi-request as a dependency (if you are going to use the generated API client).

Configuration

Create a .jdef_config.js file in your project root. This file should default export a configuration object:

const EXCLUDED_NAMESPACES = ['service', 'topic'];

export default {
  typeOutput: {
    fileName: 'index.ts',
    directory: './packages/types/generated',
    importPath: '@yourcompany/types',
  },
  clientOutput: {
    fileName: 'index.ts',
    directory: './packages/api-client/generated',
  },
  client: {
    // Remove the excluded namespaces from the method name and camelCase the result
    methodNameWriter: (method) =>
      method.fullGrpcName
        .split(/[./]/)
        .filter((s) => s && !EXCLUDED_NAMESPACES.includes(s.toLowerCase()))
        .map((s, i) => (i === 0 ? s : s[0].toUpperCase() + s.slice(1)))
        .join(''),
  },
  types: {
    enumType: 'enum',
    // Remove the excluded namespaces from the interface/enum name and camelCase the result
    nameWriter: (x) =>
      x
        .split('.')
        .filter((s) => s && !EXCLUDED_NAMESPACES.includes(s.toLowerCase()))
        .map((s) => s?.[0]?.toUpperCase() + s?.slice(1))
        .join(''),
  },
  jsonSource: {
    path: 'api.json',
  },
};

Source Configuration

You can specify the source of the api.json file using the jsonSource property.

• The path property should be the path to a local api.json file.
• The service property should be set for a remote api.json file. It should be an object with the following properties:
  • url: The URL of the remote api.json file.
  • auth: An optional object containing a token if required.

See the configuration definitions for more information.

Generating Types

Add a script to your package.json to run the generator.

{
  "scripts": {
    "generate-types": "jdef-ts-generator"
  }
}

Peer Dependencies

You will need to have @pentops/jsonapi-request installed as a dependency if you're going to use the generated API client.
