typeclone v1.0.3

typeclone

Deeply expands TypeScript types into their own declaration file.

Installation

Available as a npm package.

For usage from code:

npm install --save-dev typeclone

For usage from the command line:

npm install --global typeclone

Usage

Available both as a command-line utility and a TypeScript module. Gets all types in the input file, expands them, and then outputs them in a separate file. Useful for getting rid of dependencies when exporting inferred types.

For example, take this input file named demo.ts

import { z } from "zod";

const demoSchema = z.object({
    test: z.string(),
    test2: z.number().nullable().optional(),
});

export type Demo = z.infer<typeof demoSchema>;

We can now call either the command-line utility:

typeclone demo.ts demo_out.d.ts

Or the JavaScript function:

import { cloneTypes } from "typeclone";

cloneTypes('demo.ts', 'demo_out.d.ts')

Which will result in the output file demo_out.d.ts with the following contents:

export declare type Demo = { test: string; test2?: number | null | undefined; }

Can output both .ts and .d.ts files, automatically detects which one based on the output file extension.
