> Compile json schema to typescript typings

## Example

Input:
```json
{
  "title": "Example Schema",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "firstName": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "lastName": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "age": {
      "description": "Age in years",
      "type": "integer",
      "minimum": 0
    },
    "hairColor": {
      "enum": ["black", "brown", "blue"],
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "additionalProperties": false,
  "required": ["firstName", "lastName"]
}
```

Output:
```ts
export interface ExampleSchema {
  firstName: string;
  lastName: string;
  /**
   * Age in years
   */
  age?: number;
  hairColor?: "black" | "brown" | "blue";
}
```

## Installation

```sh
# Using Yarn:
yarn add json-schema-to-typescript

# Or, using NPM:
npm install json-schema-to-typescript --save
```

## Usage

```js
import { compile, compileFromFile } from 'json-schema-to-typescript'

// compile from file
compileFromFile('foo.json')
  .then(ts => fs.writeFileSync('foo.d.ts', ts))

// or, compile a JS object
let mySchema = {
  properties: [...]
}
compile(mySchema, 'MySchema')
  .then(ts => ...)
```

See [server demo](example) and [browser demo](https://github.com/bcherny/json-schema-to-typescript-browser) for full examples.

## Options

`compileFromFile` and `compile` accept options as their last argument (all keys are optional):

| key | type | default | description |
|-|-|-|-|
| bannerComment | string | `"/* tslint:disable */\n/**\n* This file was automatically generated by json-schema-to-typescript.\n* DO NOT MODIFY IT BY HAND. Instead, modify the source JSONSchema file,\n* and run json-schema-to-typescript to regenerate this file.\n*/"` | Disclaimer comment prepended to the top of each generated file |
| cwd | string | `process.cwd()` | Root directory for resolving [`$ref`](https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-pbryan-zyp-json-ref-03.html)s |
| declareExternallyReferenced | boolean | `true` | Declare external schemas referenced via `$ref`? |
| enableConstEnums | boolean | `true` | Prepend enums with [`const`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/enums.html#computed-and-constant-members)? |
| format | boolean | `true` | Format code? Set this to `false` to improve performance. |
| ignoreMinAndMaxItems | boolean | `false` | Ignore maxItems and minItems for `array` types, preventing tuples being generated. |
| style | object | `{ bracketSpacing: false,  printWidth: 120,  semi: true,  singleQuote: false,  tabWidth: 2,  trailingComma: 'none',  useTabs: false }` | A [Prettier](https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html) configuration |
| unknownAny | boolean | `true` | Use `unknown` instead of `any` where possible |
| unreachableDefinitions | boolean | `false` | Generates code for `definitions` that aren't referenced by the schema. |
| strictIndexSignatures | boolean | `false` | Append all index signatures with `\| undefined` so that they are strictly typed. |
| $refOptions | object | `{}` | [$RefParser](https://github.com/BigstickCarpet/json-schema-ref-parser) Options, used when resolving `$ref`s |
## CLI

A CLI utility is provided with this package.

```sh
cat foo.json | json2ts > foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts foo.json > foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts foo.json foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts --input foo.json --output foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts -i foo.json -o foo.d.ts
# or
json2ts -i schemas/**/*.json
# or
json2ts -i schemas/ -o types/
```

You can pass any of the options described above (including style options) as CLI flags. Boolean values can be set to false using the `no-` prefix.

```sh
# generate code for definitions that aren't referenced
json2ts -i foo.json -o foo.d.ts --unreachableDefinitions
# use single quotes and disable trailing semicolons
json2ts -i foo.json -o foo.d.ts --style.singleQuote --no-style.semi
```

## Custom schema properties:

- `tsType`: Overrides the type that's generated from the schema. Useful for forcing a type to `any` or when using non-standard JSON schema extensions ([eg](https://github.com/sokra/json-schema-to-typescript/blob/f1f40307cf5efa328522bb1c9ae0b0d9e5f367aa/test/e2e/customType.ts)).
- `tsEnumNames`: Overrides the names used for the elements in an enum. Can also be used to create string enums ([eg](https://github.com/johnbillion/wp-json-schemas/blob/647440573e4a675f15880c95fcca513fdf7a2077/schemas/properties/post-status-name.json)).

## Not expressible in TypeScript:

- `dependencies` ([single](https://github.com/tdegrunt/jsonschema/blob/67c0e27ce9542efde0bf43dc1b2a95dd87df43c3/examples/all.js#L261), [multiple](https://github.com/tdegrunt/jsonschema/blob/67c0e27ce9542efde0bf43dc1b2a95dd87df43c3/examples/all.js#L282))

- `multipleOf` ([eg](https://github.com/tdegrunt/jsonschema/blob/67c0e27ce9542efde0bf43dc1b2a95dd87df43c3/examples/all.js#L186))
