ts-json-schema-generator

Extended version of https://github.com/xiag-ag/typescript-to-json-schema.

Inspired by YousefED/typescript-json-schema. Here's the differences list:

this implementation avoids the use of typeChecker.getTypeAtLocation() (so probably it keeps correct type aliases)
processing AST and formatting JSON schema have been split into two independent steps
not exported types, interfaces, enums are not exposed in the definitions section in the JSON schema

Usage

npm install --save ts-json-schema-generator
./node_modules/.bin/ts-json-schema-generator --path 'my/project/**.*.ts' --type 'My.Type.Full.Name'

Options

-p, --path 'index.ts'
    The path to the TypeScript source file. If this is not provided, the type will be searched in the project specified in the `.tsconfig`.

-t, --type 'My.Type.Full.Name'
    The type the generated schema will represent. If omitted, the generated schema will contain all
    types found in the files matching path. The same is true if '*' is specified.

-e, --expose <all|none|export>
    all: Create shared $ref definitions for all types.
    none: Do not create shared $ref definitions.
    export (default): Create shared $ref definitions only for exported types.

-f, --tsconfig 'my/project/tsconfig.json'
    Use a custom tsconfig file for processing typescript (see https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/tsconfig-json.html) instead of the default:
    {
        "compilerOptions": {
            "noEmit": true,
            "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
            "experimentalDecorators": true,
            "target": "ES5",
            "module": "CommonJS",
            "strictNullChecks": false,
        }
    }

-r, --no-top-ref
    Do not create a top-level $ref definition.

-j, --jsDoc <extended|none|basic>
    none: Do not use JsDoc annotations.
    basic: Read JsDoc annotations to provide schema properties.
    extended (default): Also read @nullable, and @asType annotations.

-u, --unstable
    Do not sort properties.

-s, --strict-tuples
    Do not allow additional items on tuples.

-c, --no-type-check
    Skip type checks for better performance.

-k, --validationKeywords
    Provide additional validation keywords to include.

Current state

interface types

Run locally

yarn --silent run run --path 'test/valid-data/type-mapped-array/*.ts' --type 'MyObject'

Debug

yarn --silent run debug --path 'test/valid-data/type-mapped-array/*.ts' --type 'MyObject'

And connect via the debugger protocol.

AST Explorer is amazing for developers of this tool!
