cli

@spec2ts/cli

@spec2ts/cli is an utility to create TypeScript types from JSON schemas or OpenAPI v3 specifications. Unlike other code generators @spec2ts/cli does not use templates to generate code but uses TypeScript's built-in API to generate and pretty-print an abstract syntax tree (AST).

Features

• AST-based: Unlike other code generators @spec2ts/cli does not use templates to generate code but uses TypeScript's built-in API to generate and pretty-print an abstract syntax tree.
• Tree-shakeable: Individually exported types allows you to bundle only the ones you actually use.
• YAML or JSON: Use YAML or JSON for your specifications.
• External references: Resolves automatically external references and bundle or import them in generated files.
• Implementation agnostic: Use generated types in any projet or framework.

Installation

Install in your project:

npm install @spec2ts/cli

CLI Usage

JSON Schema command

spec2ts jsonschema [options] <input..>

Generate TypeScript types from JSON Schemas

Positionals:
  input  Path to JSON Schema(s) to convert to TypeScript                [string]

Options:
  --version     Show version number                                    [boolean]
  --help        Show help usage                                        [boolean]
  --output, -o  Output directory for generated types                    [string]
  --cwd, -c     Root directory for resolving $refs                      [string]
  --avoidAny    Avoid the `any` type and use `unknown` instead         [boolean]
  --enableDate  Build `Date` for format `date` and `date-time`         [boolean]
  --banner, -b  Comment prepended to the top of each generated file     [string]

OpenAPI command

spec2ts openapi [options] <input..>

Generate TypeScript types from OpenAPI specification

Positionals:
  input  Path to OpenAPI Specification(s) to convert to TypeScript      [string]

Options:
  --version     Show version number                                    [boolean]
  --help        Show help usage                                        [boolean]
  --output, -o  Output directory for generated types                    [string]
  --cwd, -c     Root directory for resolving $refs                      [string]
  --avoidAny    Avoid the `any` type and use `unknown` instead         [boolean]
  --enableDate  Build `Date` for format `date` and `date-time`         [boolean]
  --banner, -b  Comment prepended to the top of each generated file     [string]
