@rocket.chat/rest-typings

Package containing all Rocket.Chat rest endpoint definitions

Contributing

Contributions are always welcome! However we have some recommendations.

Check if your implementation matches your definitions, a bad definition is worse than none.
Use the generic types we created for paging.
Create functions that assert properties (very useful for the backend)
Do tests to ensure that your assertions are correct.
Avoid incomplete and unknow typings

Good examples of what not to do:

If you have an endpoint that accepts name or id, both are not optional, one of them is required

    
    type EndPointTestGetParams = { name?: string; id?: string; } // WRONG!

    type EndPointTestGetParams = { name: string; } | { id: string; } // Better :)

If you have an endpoint that accepts name or id, both are not optional, one of them is required

    export const isEndPointTestGetParams = (props: any) is EndPointTestGetParams => 'name' in prop || 'id' in prop; // WRONG!

    // .... Better
    
    
    import Ajv from 'ajv';

    const ajv = new Ajv();
    const endPointTestGetParams = {
        oneOf: [
            {
                type: 'object',
                properties: {
                    name: {
                        type: 'string',
                    },
                },
                required: ['name'],
                additionalProperties: false,
            },
            {
                type: 'object',
                properties: {
                    id: {
                        type: 'string',
                    },
                },
                required: ['id'],
                additionalProperties: false,
            },
        ],
    };

    export const isEndPointTestGetParams = ajv.compile<EndPointTestGetParams>(endPointTestGetParams);

Optimizations

we use interfaces to register endpoints, so if you use a custom version, or miss an endpoint, you don't necessarily need to recompile the code, you can do it in your own code

    declare module '@rocket.chat/rest-typings' {
        interface Endpoints {
            'custom/endpoint': {
                GET: (params: PaginatedRequest<{ query: string }>) => PaginatedResult<{
                    some: string[];
                }>;
            };
        }
    }
