Overview

Fauna Typed is a powerful command-line tool designed to generate TypeScript type definitions based on your Fauna database schema. By automating the creation of type-safe interfaces, it ensures seamless integration between your Fauna database and your TypeScript projects, enhancing developer productivity and reducing runtime errors.

Features

• Automated Type Generation: Quickly generate TypeScript types reflecting your Fauna collections and their schemas.

• Seamless Integration: Easily integrate the generated types into your existing TypeScript projects.

Usage

Installation

You can install Fauna Typed as a development dependency with the package manager of your choice.

Using pnpm

pnpm add -D fauna-typed

Using npm

npm install --save-dev fauna-typed

Using yarn

yarn add -D fauna-typed

Types Generation

After installation, you can use the CLI to generate TypeScript types based on your Fauna database schema.

Basic Usage

npx fauna-typed --secret=YOUR_FAUNA_ADMIN_KEY

Options

• -s, --secret <faunaSecret>\ Description: Fauna admin secret.\ Required: Yes, unless the FAUNA_ADMIN_KEY environment variable is set.

• -d, --dir <directory>\ Description: Directory to generate types files.\ Default: src/fauna-typed

• -h, --help\ Description: Display help for the command.

Examples

Generate Types with Default Settings

npx fauna-typed --secret="YOUR_FAUNA_ADMIN_KEY"

This command generates the TypeScript types in the default directory src/fauna-typed.

Specify a Custom Output Directory

npx fauna-typed --secret="YOUR_FAUNA_ADMIN_KEY" --dir="path/to/custom-dir"

Using Short Flags

npx fauna-typed -s "YOUR_FAUNA_ADMIN_KEY" -d "path/to/custom-dir"

Note: When using short flags (-s), do not use an equal sign (=). Instead, separate the flag and its value with a space or no space.

Generated Files

Upon successful execution, the CLI generates two key files in your specified directory:

1. custom.ts\ Contains the TypeScript type definitions based on your Fauna schema.

2. system.ts\ Contains the Fauna system type definitions like Collection, Role, AccessProvider, Function, etc.

Directory Structure Example

your-project/
├── src/
│   ├── fauna-typed/
│   │   ├── custom.ts
│   │   └── system.ts
│   └── ...
└── ...

Types Usage

The generated types provide seamless integration between your Fauna database and your TypeScript codebase.

Fetch Multiple Documents from a User-Defined Collection

Example: User.all()

import { Client, fql } from 'fauna';
import type { Page, Document } from 'fauna-typed/system';
import { User } from 'fauna-typed/custom';

const client = new Client({
	secret: '<YOUR_FAUNA_KEY>'
});

const response = await client.query<Page<Document<User>>>(fql`User.all()`); // Returned type: QuerySuccess<Page<Document<User>>>

const page = response.data; // type: Page<Document<User>>

const data = page.data; // type: Array<Document<User>>

Fetch One Document from a User-Defined Collection

Example: User.all().first()

import { Client, fql } from 'fauna';
import type { Document } from 'fauna-typed/system';
import { User } from 'fauna-typed/custom';

const client = new Client({
	secret: '<YOUR_FAUNA_KEY>'
});

const response = await client.query<Document<User>>(fql`User.all().first()`); // Returned type: QuerySuccess<Document<User>>
const data = response.data; // type: Document<User>

Fetch One Document from a System-Defined Collection

Example: Collection.all().first()

import { Client, fql } from 'fauna';
import type { NamedDocument, Collection } from 'fauna-typed/system';

const client = new Client({
	secret: '<YOUR_FAUNA_KEY>'
});

const response = await client.query<NamedDocument<Collection>>(fql`Collection.all().first()`); // Returned type: QuerySuccess<NamedDocument<Collection>>
const data = response.data; // type: NamedDocument<Collection>
