Typescript definition file generator plugin for gulp.

to install gulp-loopback-typescript

npm install --save-dev gulp-loopback-typescript

to use gulp-loopback-typescript

import { loopbackTypescript } from "gulp-loopback-typescript";

// in ES5
var loopbackTypescript = require("gulp-loopback-typescript");

gulp.task("loopbackTypescript", () =>
    return gulp.src("common/models/*json")
              .pipe(loopbackTypescript({
                // dest: "node_modules/@types/loopback",
                // modelDir: "src/typescript/common/models"
              }));
);

Plugin updates @types/loopback/index.d.ts file with the model definition data of each model exists in modelDir option.

Note: If typings definition file of loopback exists that file will be updated, otherwise plugin copy will be replaced.

Known bugs:

• Properties with "type" name causes problem (ie. { "type": { "type": "string" }})

Todo:

• model methods
• relations
• handling default values
