Another Typescript Generator

Another Typescript Generator is a Gradle plugin that generates Typescript interfaces from Kotlin/Java classes. Each class generates a new file to prevent collision.

Important notes

• This plugin reads the bytecode (class) and not the source. Do not forget to run classes command before.
• This plugin don't have yet any unit tests.

Example

class Company(
    id: String? = null,
    val name: String,
    val money: BigDecimal,
    val imageUrl: String,
) : DatabaseEntity(
    id,
) {
    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    var owner: Player? = null
}

will generate

import {DatabaseEntity} from './database-entity';
import {Player} from './player';

export interface Company extends DatabaseEntity {
    imageUrl: string;
    money: number;
    name: string;
    owner?: Player | null;
    id?: string | null;
}

Using

Installing

Add id("io.github.ynixt.another-typescript-generator") version "1.1.0" at plugins section

plugins {
    id("io.github.ynixt.another-typescript-generator") version "1.1.0"
}

Default mappings

Kotlin type	Typescript type	Note
LocalDate, LocalDateTime, ZonedDateTime, Date	string	Can be easily modified using the configuration parameter "mapDate"
String	string
Byte, Short, Int, Long, Float, Double, BigDecimal, BigInteger	number
Boolean	boolean
Collection	Array<T>
Map<K, T>	{ [key: string]: T }
any other type	any

You can change or add any mapping using the configuration parameter customTypes.

Configuring

Modify the task named generateTypescriptInterfaces. Here's a simple example:

tasks.named<GenerateTypescriptInterfacesTask>("generateTypescriptInterfaces") {
    outputPath = "./src/models/generated"
    classPackages =
        listOf(
            "io.github.ynixt.example",
        )
}

Configuration parameters

outputPath (Required)

Path, relative or absolute, that will placed the generated *.ts files.

Example

outputPath = "./src/models/generated"

classPackages

A permissive list of packages that contain the classes that will be used to generate the files.

Note: A class not listed here can be read if a listed class has a reference for it.

Example

classPackages = listOf(
    "io.github.ynixt.example",
)

excludeClassPackages

A prohibitive list of packages. It takes priority over the permissive list.

Note: A class listed here can be read if a not listed class has a reference for it. If you really don't want this class use "ignoredClasses" param

Example

excludeClassPackages = listOf(
    "io.github.ynixt.example",
)

ignoredClasses

A list of classes that will not be read, no matter what. If there is any reference to it, this reference will be replaced by any.

Example

ignoredClasses = listOf(
    "io.github.ynixt.example.Book",
)

ignoredFieldsByClass

A map of fields of classes that should be ignored.

Example

ignoredClasses = mutableMapOf(
    "io.github.ynixt.example.Person" to setOf("name", "age")
)

mapDate

Defines which Typescript type should be used when a date type field is encountered (Date, LocalDate, LocalDateTime, ZonedDateTime).

MapDateOption	Typescript type	Default
AS_STRING	string	X
AS_LUXON	DateTime
AS_MOMENT	moment.Moment
AS_DATE	Date
AS_NUMBER	number

Example

mapDate = MapDateOption.AS_LUXON

customTypes

Add or replace the mapping between Typescript and Kotlin.

Example

 customTypes = listOf(
    CustomType(
        kotlin = AbsoluteKotlinType(String::class),
        typescript = AbsoluteTypescriptType(name = "any")
    ),
    CustomType(
        kotlin = AbsoluteKotlinTypeString("io.github.ynixt.entities.Book"),
        typescript = AbsoluteTypescriptType(name = "string", ignoreGenerics = true)
    )
)
