ts-json-schema-generator

CircleCI codecov npm dependencies npm version

Extended version of https://github.com/xiag-ag/typescript-to-json-schema.

Inspired by YousefED/typescript-json-schema. Here's the differences list:

  • this implementation avoids the use of typeChecker.getTypeAtLocation() (so probably it keeps correct type aliases)
  • processing AST and formatting JSON schema have been split into two independent steps
  • not exported types, interfaces, enums are not exposed in the definitions section in the JSON schema

Contributors

This project is made possible by a community of contributors. We welcome contributions of any kind (issues, code, documentation, examples, tests,...). Please read our code of conduct.

Usage

npm install --save ts-json-schema-generator
./node_modules/.bin/ts-json-schema-generator --path 'my/project/**.*.ts' --type 'My.Type.Full.Name'

Options

-p, --path 'index.ts'
    The path to the TypeScript source file. If this is not provided, the type will be searched in the project specified in the `.tsconfig`.

-t, --type 'My.Type.Full.Name'
    The type the generated schema will represent. If omitted, the generated schema will contain all
    types found in the files matching path. The same is true if '*' is specified.

-e, --expose <all|none|export>
    all: Create shared $ref definitions for all types.
    none: Do not create shared $ref definitions.
    export (default): Create shared $ref definitions only for exported types.

-f, --tsconfig 'my/project/tsconfig.json'
    Use a custom tsconfig file for processing typescript (see https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/tsconfig-json.html) instead of the default:
    {
        "compilerOptions": {
            "noEmit": true,
            "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
            "experimentalDecorators": true,
            "target": "ES5",
            "module": "CommonJS",
            "strictNullChecks": false,
        }
    }

-j, --jsDoc <extended|none|basic>
    none: Do not use JsDoc annotations.
    basic: Read JsDoc annotations to provide schema properties.
    extended (default): Also read @nullable, and @asType annotations.

--unstable
    Do not sort properties.

--strict-tuples
    Do not allow additional items on tuples.

--no-top-ref
    Do not create a top-level $ref definition.

--no-type-check
    Skip type checks for better performance.

--no-ref-encode
    Do not encode references. According to the standard, references must be valid URIs but some tools do not support encoded references.

--validationKeywords
    Provide additional validation keywords to include.

Current state

  • interface types
  • enum types
  • union, tuple, type[] types
  • string, boolean, number types
  • "value", 123, true, false, null, undefined literals
  • type aliases
  • generics
  • typeof
  • keyof
  • conditional types

Run locally

yarn --silent run run --path 'test/valid-data/type-mapped-array/*.ts' --type 'MyObject'

Debug

yarn --silent run debug --path 'test/valid-data/type-mapped-array/*.ts' --type 'MyObject'

And connect via the debugger protocol.

AST Explorer is amazing for developers of this tool!
