apidoc2dts

APIDOC to Typescript Definition file convertor.

Installing

npm install apidoc2dts

Usage

Generate APIDOC and make sure api_data.json, api_project.json exists in PATH_TO_APIDOC folder.

Usage:

./node_modules/.bin/apidoc2dts PATH_TO_APIDOC > TARGET_FOLDER/index.d.ts

How to use generated types:

import { YourApidocGroupNamespace } from 'YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME-types';

Where YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME come from apidoc.json name field, YourApidocGroupNamespace come from @apiGroup tags.

You can optionally use tsfmt to format typescript definition file using your project style guide:

./node_modules/.bin/apidoc2dts PATH_TO_APIDOC/ | ./node_modules/.bin/tsfmt --stdin > TARGET_FOLDER/index.d.ts

Limitations

Typescript interfaces generated only for:

• Parameter @apiParam group (this is default group)
• One @apiSuccess group, Success 200 (this is default group) or any other first defined

Example

Example APIDOC:

  /**
   * @api {POST} /token Create authentication token for user
   * @apiName Create
   * @apiGroup AdminUser.Token
   *
   * @apiParam {Object} token
   * @apiParam {Number} .userId
   *
   * @apiSuccess (201) {String} Location HTTP header with url for created resource
   * @apiSuccess (201) {Object} token
   * @apiSuccess (201) {String} token.id
   */

  /**
   * @api {GET} /token/:id Get token
   * @apiName Get
   * @apiGroup AdminUser.Token
   *
   * @apiParam (Route params) {String} id
   *
   * @apiSuccess {Object} token
   * @apiSuccess {String} .id
   * @apiSuccess {Number} .userId
   */

apidoc2dts will generate:

declare module 'apidoc2dts-test-types' {

  namespace AdminUser.Token {

    interface CreateParams {
      token: CreateParams_Token;
    }

    interface CreateParams_Token {
      userId: number;
    }

    interface Get {
      token: Get_Token;
    }

    interface Get_Token {
      id: string;
      userId: number;
    }

  }

}
