typebox-genx

typebox-genx (TypeBox Generator eXtended) is a code generation tool that extends @sinclair/typebox-codegen package with import functionality

Installation

Install via Bun:

bun install @toil/typebox-genx

Install via Node:

npm install @toil/typebox-genx

Before starting

This lib is very very very very unstable and some parts of planned functionality aren't available.

Lib work bad with scopes and i mean you have separate files for types

Supports only 1 type of import by line. Any of these code variants are valid:

[!WARNING] Now you can only import with import {...} from "...". Also you can use "type".

import type { ClientOpts } from "@vot.js/node";
// or
// import { ClientOpts as RenamedOpts } from "@vot.js/node";
// or
import { Client, type ClientOpts } from "@vot.js/node";
// or
// import * as Client from "@vot.js/node";
// and many more

These code variants unsupported:

import Client, { ClientOpts } from "@vot.js/node";
// or
import "@vot.js/node";

Now typeof variable unsupported too

Getting started

The library class provides several methods:

const genx = new GenX({
  root: path.join(__dirname),
  includeNearbyFiles: true,
});

// read from input dir and write to output
await genx.generateByDir(
  path.join(__dirname, "src/types"),
  path.join(__dirname, "dist"),
);

// read file and return result to variable
const codeByFile = await genx.generateByFile(
  path.join(__dirname, "src/types/with.ts"),
);

// read string and return result to variable
const raw = `import type { RequestMethod } from "@toil/translate/types/providers/base";

export type Test = {
  method: RequestMethod;
};`;

const codeByStr = await genx.generateByCode(raw);

// clear saved imports and depends list if needed
genx.clearData();

// create client for enabled workspaces
const genxw = new GenX({
  root: path.join(__dirname, "packages", "packageA"),
  workspaceRoot: path.join(__dirname),
});

await genx.generateByDir(
  path.join(__dirname, "packages", "packageA"),
  path.join(__dirname, "dist"),
);

Build

To build, you must have:

• Bun

Don't forget to install the dependencies:

bun install

Start building:

bun build:all

Tests

The library has minimal test coverage to check its performance.

Run the tests:

bun test
