**Example how to generate and use wsdl-tsclient:** [wsdl-tsclient-example](https://github.com/dderevjanik/wsdl-tsclient-example)

Generate a [soap client](https://www.npmjs.com/package/soap) with typescript definitions from a WSDL file.

This library uses [ts-morph](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-morph) to generate typescript code and [soap](https://github.com/vpulim/node-soap) for runtime. Inspired by Java [wsimport](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/wsimport.html) and [openapi-generator](https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator).

_NOTE:_ Add [soap](https://www.npmjs.com/package/soap) to your npm runtime dependencies (`npm i soap`).

## Install

```sh
npm i wsdl-tsclient
```

or install it with `-g` to have CLI globally available.

```sh
npm i -g wsdl-tsclient
```

or you can use `npx` to run it without installing

```sh
npx wsdl-tsclient ./path/to/wsdl.wsdl -o ./generated/
```

## Usage

You can check example repository [wsdl-tsclient-example](https://github.com/dderevjanik/wsdl-tsclient-example)

### Generate client using CLI

Easiest way to generate client from is to use CLI. You need to provide only path to `.wsdl` file and
path to output directory (`-o` param). If you want to generate **only typescript types** (no runtime code) for node-soap, you can pass `--emitDefinitionsOnly` param.

`wsdl-tsclient ./soap.wsdl -o ./generated`

`wsdl-tsclient ./resources/**/*.wsdl -o ./generated` - using glob

you can also use `npx`

`npx wsdl-tsclient ./soap.wsdl -o ./generated`

```bash
wsdl-tsclient [options] [path]

Options:
      --help                        Show help                          [boolean]
  -v, --version                     Show version number                [boolean]
  -o                                Output directory for generated TypeScript
                                    client                   [string] [required]
      --emitDefinitionsOnly         Generate definitions only (interfaces and
                                    types)                             [boolean]
      --modelNamePreffix            Prefix for generated interface names[string]
      --modelNameSuffix             Suffix for generated interface names[string]
      --modelPropertyNaming         Property naming convention ('camelCase' or
                                    'PascalCase')                       [string]
      --caseInsensitiveNames        Parse WSDL definitions case-insensitively
                                                                       [boolean]
      --useWsdlTypeNames            Use wsdl schema type names instead of
                                    parameter names for generated interface
                                    names                              [boolean]
      --maxRecursiveDefinitionName  Maximum count of definitions with the same
                                    name but increased suffix. Will throw an
                                    error if exceeded.                  [number]
      --esm                         Generate imports with .js suffix   [boolean]
      --esmExtension                Extension to use for ESM imports ('.js' or
                                    '.ts')                              [string]
      --typedImports                Use `import type` syntax for type-only
                                    imports                            [boolean]
      --quiet                       Suppress all logs                  [boolean]
      --verbose                     Print verbose logs                 [boolean]
      --no-color                    Logs without colors                [boolean]

Examples:
    wsdl-tsclient file.wsdl -o ./generated/
    wsdl-tsclient ./res/**/*.wsdl -o ./generated/
```

### Generate client programmatically

```typescript
import { generateClient } from "wsdl-tsclient";

parseAndGenerate("./path/to/MyWsdl.wsdl", "./generated/");
```

### Using generated client in your project

_Note:_ Make sure you have [soap](https://www.npmjs.com/package/soap) package in your runtime dependencies (`npm i soap`)

```typescript
import { createClientAsync } from "./generated/MyWsdl";

const client = await createClientAsync("./path/to/wsdl.wsdl");
client.CallSoapMethodAsync();
```

Setting basic auth

```typescript
import soap from "soap";
import { createClientAsync } from "./generated/MyWsdl";

const client = await createClientAsync("./path/to/wsdl.wsdl");

const basicAuth = new soap.BasicAuthSecurity(auth.username, auth.password);
client.setSecurity(basicAuth);

client.CallSoapMethodAsync();
```
