spring-data-rest-json-schema-to-typescript-definitions

npm package that allows you to generate TypeScript declaration files from JSON Schema metadata supplied by Spring Data REST endpoints.

Getting Started

Installing

npm install spring-data-rest-json-schema-to-typescript-definitions --save-dev

Usage

Add a script named generate-model to your project’s package.json, e.g.:

{
  ...
  "scripts": {
    ...
    "generate-model": "node node_modules/spring-data-rest-json-schema-to-typescript-definitions/dist/index.js http://localhost:8080 ./src/app/generated-model"
    ...
  },
  ...
}

The main index.js takes two arguments:

1. The root URL of the API (http://localhost:8080 in the example above; the script automatically appends the /profile part to the URL) generated by Spring Data REST (see https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/reference/html/#metadata.json-schema for more information).
2. The directory to which the TypeScript declaration files will be written (./src/app/generated-model in the example above).

Now you can generate TypeScript declaration files from your Spring Data REST endpoints by using this command from your project’s root directory:

npm run generate-model
