runtyping v4.7.0

runtyping

Generate runtypes from static types & JSON schema.

Instructions

Install

npm install runtypes
npm install -D runtyping

Use from the command line

1. Create a file, in the root of your project, called "runtyping.yml".

   # runtyping.yml
   
   targetFile: src/other-runtypes.ts # The file to create
   runtypeFormat: {type}Rt # Optional: use a custom name format for the created runtype
   typeFormat: {type}Type  # Optional: use a custom name format for the created type
   sourceTypes:
     exportStaticType: true # Optional: export static types as well (true by default)
     file: src/types.ts # The file where your type lives
     type: Foo # The type you want to convert to a runtype

   You can also specify a list of target files, if you want to create more than one:

   # runtyping.yml
   
   - targetFile: src/other-runtypes.ts
     sourceTypes:
       file: src/types.ts
       type: Foo
   
   - targetFile: src/runtypes.ts
     sourceTypes:
       # Source types can also be a list
       - file: src/types.ts
         type: Foo
   
       - file: json/my-json-schema.json # You can even use JSON schema files!!
         type: [ExampleType, AnotherExampleType] # You may use an array of types

2. Then run: npx runtyping

Use from a script

Basic example:

import { Generator } from 'runtyping'

const generator = new Generator({
  targetFile: 'src/runtypes.ts',
  // optional: runtypeFormat / typeFormat (see above)
})

generator
  .generate([
    { file: 'src/types.ts', type: 'Foo' },
    { file: 'json/my-json-schema.json', type: 'ExampleType' },
  ])
  .then((file) => file.save())

Passing a custom tsconfig file

const generator = new Generator({
  targetFile: 'src/runtypes.ts',
  tsConfigFile: '/path/to/tsconfig.json',
})

Passing a custom ts-morph project (for the internal compiler)

(see generate.ts for the defaults)

import { Project } from 'ts-morph'

const generator = new Generator({
  targetFile: 'src/runtypes.ts',
  project: new Project({
    // ...
  }),
})
