Generates typescript io-ts codecs from the models of an OpenAPI Spec

Background

io-ts is a fantastic Typescript library that uses parser combinators for building static types and typed runtime codecs that can be used for validation (type guards), encoding, and decoding.

This project uses io-ts-codegen to generate these types and codecs from the models of an openapi document.

Future enhancements will target support for refined types and alternate implementations (like Js-Joda for Date/Time types).

Usage

npx @kmudrick/io-ts-openapi --help

Options:
  --help     Show help                                        [boolean]
  --version  Show version number                              [boolean]
  --input                                           [string] [required]
  --output                                          [string] [required]
  --useJoda                                           [boolean] [default: false]

Example

For example, to read specs/petstore.yaml and write the types and codecs to petstore.ts:

npx @kmudrick/io-ts-openapi \
    --input specs/petstore.yaml \
    --output petstore.ts

Successfully wrote petstore.ts

JS Joda Support

js-joda is an excellent immutable date/time library for JS.

To enable date strings to use LocalDate and date-time strings to use LocalDateTime, simply use the ``--useJoda` switch.

A model that looks like:

LocalDateValue:
  type: object
  required:
    - value
  properties:
    value:
      type: string
      format: date

Will produce:

import * as t from "io-ts";
import { LocalDate } from "@js-joda/core";
import { LocalDateFromISOString } from "@kmudrick/io-ts-openapi/dist/src/types";

export type LocalDateValue = Readonly<{
  value: LocalDate
}>
export const LocalDateValue = t.readonly(t.type({
  value: LocalDateFromISOString
}), 'LocalDateValue')

The source for LocalDateFromISOString can be found here
