Usage

Examples

//
// Let's start with our JSON schema
//

{
  "title": "Person",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "name": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 20
    },
    "age": {
      "type": "number",
      "minimum": 18,
      "maximum": 90
    },
    "hobbies": {
      "type": "array",
      "minItems": 1,
      "items": {
        "type": "string"
      }
    },
    "favoriteAnimal": {
      "enum": ["dog", "cat", "sloth"]
    }
  },
  "required": ["name", "age"]
}

//
// Which becomes..
//

export type Person = Static<typeof Person>;
export const Person = Type.Object({
  name: Type.String({ minLength: 20 }),
  age: Type.Number({ minimum: 18, maximum: 90 }),
  hobbies: Type.Optional(Type.Array(Type.String(), { minItems: 1 })),
  favoriteAnimal: Type.Optional(
    Type.Union([
      Type.Literal("dog"),
      Type.Literal("cat"),
      Type.Literal("sloth"),
    ])
  ),
});

//
// You can also split your JSON schema definitions into multiple files when
// using relative paths. Something like this:
//

// person.json
{
  "title": "Person",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "name": {
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 100
    },
    "age": {
      "type": "number",
      "minimum": 18
    }
  },
  "required": ["name", "age"]
}

// status.json
{
  "title": "Status",
  "enum": ["unknown", "accepted", "denied"]
}

// schema.json
{
  "title": "Contract",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "person": {
      "$ref": "./person.json"
    },
    "status": {
      "$ref": "./status.json"
    }
  },
  "required": ["person"]
}

//
// Will result in this:
//

export type Contract = Static<typeof Contract>;
export const Contract = Type.Object({
  person: Type.Object({
    name: Type.String({ maxLength: 100 }),
    age: Type.Number({ minimum: 18 }),
  }),
  status: Type.Optional(
      Type.Union([
        Type.Literal("unknown"),
        Type.Literal("accepted"),
        Type.Literal("denied"),
      ])
   ),
});

Please take a look at the feature list below to see the currently supported features. For examples, take a look into the examples folder. You can also check the test cases, every feature is tested.

Schema Support

The package is focused on supporting JSON schema draft-07 files, since this is the target TypeBox officially supports. These types are fully compatible with the JSON Schema Draft 7 specification. (from typebox repo 20.08.2023).

However, since the amount of breaking changes is quite small between most JSON schema specs, support for other specs (draft-04, draft-06, draft-2019-09) should "just work". Feel free to open a discussion or issue when you find problems. Happy about contributions if you want to help out. Draft-2020 info can be found here not expected to fully work.

DEV/CONTRIBUTOR NOTES

If you have an idea or want to help implement something, feel free to do so. Please always start by creating an issue to avoid any unnecessary work on either side.

Please always create tests for new features that are implemented. This will decrease mental overhead for reviewing and developing in the long run.

To understand the JSON schema draft-07 you can check json-schema.org here. The meta schema can be found here.

cli usage

The following text is the output that will be displayed when you issue schema2typebox -h or schema2typebox --help.


    schema2typebox generates TypeBox code from JSON schemas. The generated
    output is formatted based on the prettier config inside your repo (or the
    default one, if you don't have one). Version: ${packageJson.version}

    Usage:

    schema2typebox [ARGUMENTS]

    Arguments:

    -h, --help
       Displays this menu.

    -i, --input
       Specifies the relative path to the file containing the JSON schema that
       will be used to generated typebox code. Defaults to "schema.json".

    -o, --output
       Specifies the relative path to generated file that will contain the
       typebox code. Defaults to "generated-typebox.ts".

    --output-stdout
       Does not generate an output file and prints the generated code to stdout
       instead. Has precedence over -o/--output.

Code coverage

This project aims for a high code coverage to keep maintenance low. When you add new features or fix a bug, please add an according test for it. The current (08.06.2024) coverage looks like this:
