$ npm install json-schema-to-typescript
Compile JSON Schema to TypeScript typings.
Check out the live demo.
Input:
{
"title": "Example Schema",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"firstName": {
"type": "string"
},
"lastName": {
"type": "string"
},
"age": {
"description": "Age in years",
"type": "integer",
"minimum": 0
},
"hairColor": {
"enum": ["black", "brown", "blue"],
"type": "string"
}
},
"additionalProperties": false,
"required": ["firstName", "lastName"]
}
Output:
export interface ExampleSchema {
firstName: string;
lastName: string;
/**
* Age in years
*/
age?: number;
hairColor?: "black" | "brown" | "blue";
}
npm install json-schema-to-typescript
json-schema-to-typescript is easy to use via the CLI, or programmatically.
First make the CLI available using one of the following options:
# install locally, then use `npx json2ts`
npm install json-schema-to-typescript
# or install globally, then use `json2ts`
npm install json-schema-to-typescript --global
# or install to npm cache, then use `npx --package=json-schema-to-typescript json2ts`
# (you don't need to run an install command first)
Then, use the CLI to convert JSON files to TypeScript typings:
cat foo.json | json2ts > foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts foo.json > foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts foo.yaml foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts --input foo.json --output foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts -i foo.json -o foo.d.ts
# or (quote globs so that your shell doesn't expand them)
json2ts -i 'schemas/**/*.json'
# or
json2ts -i schemas/ -o types/
You can pass any of the options described below (including style options) as CLI flags. Boolean values can be set to false using the no-
prefix.
# generate code for definitions that aren't referenced
json2ts -i foo.json -o foo.d.ts --unreachableDefinitions
# use single quotes and disable trailing semicolons
json2ts -i foo.json -o foo.d.ts --style.singleQuote --no-style.semi
To invoke json-schema-to-typescript from your TypeScript or JavaScript program, import it and call compile
or compileFromFile
.
import { compile, compileFromFile } from 'json-schema-to-typescript'
// compile from file
compileFromFile('foo.json')
.then(ts => fs.writeFileSync('foo.d.ts', ts))
// or, compile a JS object
let mySchema = {
properties: [...]
}
compile(mySchema, 'MySchema')
.then(ts => ...)
See server demo and browser demo for full examples.
compileFromFile
and compile
accept options as their last argument (all keys are optional):
key | type | default | description |
---|---|---|---|
additionalProperties | boolean | true |
Default value for additionalProperties , when it is not explicitly set |
bannerComment | string | "/* eslint-disable */\n/**\n* This file was automatically generated by json-schema-to-typescript.\n* DO NOT MODIFY IT BY HAND. Instead, modify the source JSON Schema file,\n* and run json-schema-to-typescript to regenerate this file.\n*/" |
Disclaimer comment prepended to the top of each generated file |
customName | (LinkedJSONSchema, string \| undefined) => string \| undefined |
undefined |
Custom function to provide a type name for a given schema |
cwd | string | process.cwd() |
Root directory for resolving $ref s |
declareExternallyReferenced | boolean | true |
Declare external schemas referenced via $ref ? |
enableConstEnums | boolean | true |
Prepend enums with const ? |
format | boolean | true |
Format code? Set this to false to improve performance. |
ignoreMinAndMaxItems | boolean | false |
Ignore maxItems and minItems for array types, preventing tuples being generated. |
maxItems | number | 20 |
Maximum number of unioned tuples to emit when representing bounded-size array types, before falling back to emitting unbounded arrays. Increase this to improve precision of emitted types, decrease it to improve performance, or set it to -1 to ignore maxItems . |
strictIndexSignatures | boolean | false |
Append all index signatures with \| undefined so that they are strictly typed. |
style | object | { bracketSpacing: false, printWidth: 120, semi: true, singleQuote: false, tabWidth: 2, trailingComma: 'none', useTabs: false } |
A Prettier configuration |
unknownAny | boolean | true |
Use unknown instead of any where possible |
unreachableDefinitions | boolean | false |
Generates code for $defs that aren't referenced by the schema. |
$refOptions | object | {} |
$RefParser Options, used when resolving $ref s |
