TypeORM Entity Type Interface Generator

A CLI tool to generate TypeScript interfaces from TypeORM entity classes.

Installation

Install the package as a development dependency in your project:

npm install --save-dev typeorm-entity-type-interface

Usage

Add a Script to Your package.json

"scripts": {
  "generate-entity-interfaces": "typeorm-entity-type-interface -i ./src/entities -o ./src/interfaces/IEntities.ts"
}

Run the Script

npm run generate-interfaces

Command-Line Options

-i, --input <glob>: (Required) Input directory containing TypeORM entities.

-o, --output <path>: (Required) Output directory for generated interfaces.`

--no-prefix: Do not prefix interface names with 'I'.

-v, --verbose: Enable verbose output (enabled by default).

Example

Generate interfaces from entities in ./src/entities/**.ts and output them to ./src/interfaces/IEntities.ts:

typeorm-entity-type-interface -i ./src/entities -o ./src/interfaces/IEntities.ts

Features

• Generates Interfaces: Creates TypeScript interfaces for each TypeORM entity.

• Include Relations: Creates TypeScript interfaces for properties decorated with relation decorators (@OneToMany, @ManyToOne, etc.).

• Dual Interfaces per Entity:

  • EntityName: Properties excluding relations.
  • EntityNameData: Properties including relations.

• Handles Relations: Relation properties are included in EntityNameData interfaces.

• Verbosity: Provides verbose output by default.

Limitations

Custom Types: Complex or custom property types may require additional handling.

Methods Ignored: Only class properties are converted; methods are ignored.
