This is a TypeScript library to generate TypeScript types from JSON files.

It is available online under [github][https://slreynolds.github.io/generateTypes/].

Turns

{"menu": {
  "id": "file",
  "value": "File",
  "popup": {
    "menuitem": [
      {"value": "New", "onclick": "CreateNewDoc()"},
      {"value": "Open", "onclick": "OpenDoc()"},
      {"value": "Close", "onclick": "CloseDoc()"}
    ]
  }
}}

into

type Thing = {
  menu: {
    id: string,
    value: string,
    popup: {
      menuitem: Menuitem[]
    }
  }
}
type Menuitem = {
  value: string,
  onclick: string
}

which you can use as a thing.d.ts to correctly use your JSON inside your TypeScript app.

You can start a local server with live reloading

npm install
npm run start

Then you can point your favorite internet browser to [localhost:3000][http://localhost:3000].
