README

Generate TypeScript types based on your models.

Usage

Installation

Install the package using composer:

composer require --dev scrumble-nl/laravel-model-ts-type

Generating types

php artisan types:generate {--modelDir=} {--outputDir=} {--model=} {--noKebabCase}

Additional options:

If you want to change the default values you can publish the config file and change it to you liking.

NOTE: Do not forget to add the directory to your typeroots in tsconfig.json

What does it do?

This package takes (almost) all off Laravel's magic into account. It follows these steps for generating a Type:

Retrieve all fields from te database (only MySQL/MariaDB supported) and map them to default types (string, number, etc.)
Add relations for the Model, they will point to the related generated Type
Add the attribute getters for the Model
Check the casts attribute
Remove all fields that are in the hidden attribute

Example output

type Company = {
    id: number;
    name: string;
    created_at: string /* Date */ | null;
    updated_at: string /* Date */ | null;
    slug: string;
    welcome_message: string | null;
    contact_information: string | null;
    main_color: string | null;
    logo_src: string | null;
    user_field: any[];
    language: any[];
    team_site: any[];
    is_api_enabled: boolean;
    kaizen_user_field: string;
    faqs?: Faq[] | null;
    users?: User[] | null;
    team_properties: TeamProperty[] | null;
    editor_images: EditorImage[] | null;
    meta_data?: any[];
};

Roadmap

Add tests (in progress)
Generate types for packagized models
Create command to generate type for 1 model
Implement unqualified name for relation doc blocks
