Introduction

generator-json2ts is a tool for converting JSON into TypeScript type declarations. It helps you automatically generate TypeScript type declaration files to improve TypeScript development efficiency.

Install

Install generator-json2ts by performing the following steps on the command line:

1. Open the terminal or command prompt.

2. Run the following command to install the scaffolding tool:

   npm install -g generator-json2ts
   // or
   yarn install -g generator-json2ts

Instructions for use

generator-json2ts provides a simple and powerful command line tool for converting JSON to TypeScript type declaration files. Here are some common usage examples:

Basic usage

To convert a JSON file to a TypeScript type declaration file, you can use the following command:

json2ts convert file -i <filePath>

Where, <filePath> is the path to the JSON file to be converted. When the conversion is complete, a TypeScript type declaration file named output.ts will be generated.

Advanced usage

generator-json2ts also provides a number of optional parameters and options to meet more complex requirements. Here are some common options:

• -i, --input <filePath>：specifies the path to the input directory
• -o, --output <filePath>：specifies the path to the output directory
• -f, --force：if the file already has a forced overwrite
• -u, --url <url>：url for requesting data
• -m, --method <requestMethod>：request method, currently only support GET、POST
• reset config：reset configuration
  • isForceOverwrite：whether to force overwrite files（default: 0）
  • defaultInterfaceName：default root type name（default: 'RootInterface'）
  • nameStyle：type name Naming style: 'underline' | 'littleHump' | 'bigHump'（default: 'underline'）
  • prefix：type name prefix（default: ''）
  • defaultInputPath：the path of the default input directory（default: './input.json'）
  • defaultOutputPath：the path of the default output directory（default: './output.ts'）
• set config name1=value1 name2=value2 ...：modify the configuration of the specified option

Here are sample commands that show how to use these options:

// input.json
[{
    "name": "John",
    "age": 25,
    "email": "john@example.com",
    "child": [{
        "name": "John",
        "age": 2
    }, {
        "name": "John",
        "age": 2
    }],
    "hobbies": ["reading", "swimming"],
    "a": null,
    "b": "",
    "c": [null],
    "d": [""],
    "e": [1],
    "f": {
        "name": "hello",
        "age": 2,
        "child": [{
            "name": "hello",
            "age": 2
        }]
    }
}]

// config.json
{
    "isForceOverwrite": 0,
    "defaultInterfaceName": "RootInterface",
    "nameStyle": "underline",
    "prefix": "",
    "defaultInputPath": "./input.json",
    "defaultOutputPath": "./output.ts"
}

json2ts convert file

json2ts convert file -f -i ./input.json -o types.ts

The results are as follows:

// ./types.ts
export interface RootInterfaceItem {
    name: string;
    age: number;
    email: string;
    child: RootInterfaceItem_child[];
    hobbies: string[];
    a: null;
    b: string;
    c: null[];
    d: string[];
    e: number[];
    f: RootInterfaceItem_f;
}

export interface RootInterfaceItem_child {
    name: string;
    age: number;
}

export interface RootInterfaceItem_f {
    name: string;
    age: number;
    child: RootInterfaceItem_f_child[];
}

export interface RootInterfaceItem_f_child {
    name: string;
    age: number;
}

export type RootInterface = RootInterfaceItem[];

json2ts convert file -f -i ./input.json -o types.ts -u http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts

The results are as follows:

// ./types.ts
export interface RootInterfaceItem {
    userId: number;
    id: number;
    title: string;
    body: string;
}

export type RootInterface = RootInterfaceItem[];

json2ts set config

json2ts set config prefix=I nameStyle=bigHump

The results are as follows:

// config.json
{
    "isForceOverwrite": 0,
    "defaultInterfaceName": "RootInterface",
    "nameStyle": "bigHump",
    "prefix": "I",
    "defaultInputPath": "./input.json",
    "defaultOutputPath": "./output.ts"
}

json2ts convert file -f -i ./input.json -o types.ts

The results are as follows:

// ./types.ts
export interface IRootInterfaceItem {
    name: string;
    age: number;
    email: string;
    child: IRootInterfaceItemChild[];
    hobbies: string[];
    a: null;
    b: string;
    c: null[];
    d: string[];
    e: number[];
    f: IRootInterfaceItemF;
}

export interface IRootInterfaceItemChild {
    name: string;
    age: number;
}

export interface IRootInterfaceItemF {
    name: string;
    age: number;
    child: IRootInterfaceItemFChild[];
}

export interface IRootInterfaceItemFChild {
    name: string;
    age: number;
}

export type IRootInterface = IRootInterfaceItem[];

json2ts reset config

json2ts reset config

Next set the default configuration with a series of responses:

? Please enter the default interface name： RootName
? Whether to force overwriting if a file already exists Yes
? Please select an identifier naming style littleHump
? Please enter the prefix of the identifier name Pre
? Please enter the default path of the file you want to convert(file suffix must be 'json') ./input.json
? Enter the default path of the converted output file(file suffix must be 'ts') ./output.ts
Configuration file has been updated in '/Users/xxxx/generator-json2ts/packages/generator-json2ts/bin/config.json'
This is the latest version.

The results are as follows:

// config.json
{
    "defaultInterfaceName": "RootName",
    "isForceOverwrite": 1,
    "nameStyle": "bigHump",
    "prefix": "Pre",
    "defaultInputPath": "./input.json",
    "defaultOutputPath": "./output.ts"
}

json2ts convert file -f -i ./input.json -o types.ts

The results are as follows:

// ./types.ts
export interface PreRootNameItem {
    name: string;
    age: number;
    email: string;
    child: PreRootNameItemChild[];
    hobbies: string[];
    a: null;
    b: string;
    c: null[];
    d: string[];
    e: number[];
    f: PreRootNameItemF;
}

export interface PreRootNameItemChild {
    name: string;
    age: number;
}

export interface PreRootNameItemF {
    name: string;
    age: number;
    child: PreRootNameItemFChild[];
}

export interface PreRootNameItemFChild {
    name: string;
    age: number;
}

export type PreRootName = PreRootNameItem[];
