How to add something to the interface to avoid loosing on re-generation?

[murbanowicz]

I need to modify the interface file to reflect e.g. data injected in hooks etc
but at the moment I do not find the place in the code which would allow to do it with avoiding loosing it at re-generation.
Any advice?

@j2L4e ^^^ Let me know where you want the // !code or the // ! code if you do want them.

@murbanowicz we could generate the following
(service 'users')

interface UserBase {
  name: string;
  // ... everything that's generated now
}

// !code: interface-users-more
export interface User extends UserBase {
  extra: any;
}
// !end

This would allow both regeneration and extra properties. would this help your case, @murbanowicz?

Yeah! Look great to me. I think others would also benefit in the future (TS with Feathers improving but still not straightforward to work with, so I think community using TS with Feathers will grow especially with that great support from you!)

Does this work?

interface UserBase {
  name: string;
  // ... everything that's generated now
}

export interface User extends UserBase {
  // !code: more // !end
}
