TypeScript Interfaces
The TypeScript Generator allows you to create TypeScript interfaces that you can embed in any TypeScript-enabled project (React, Vue.js, Angular..).
To do so, run the generator:
npm init @api-platform/client https://demo.api-platform.com src/ -- --generator typescript --resource foo
# Replace the URL with the entrypoint of your Hydra-enabled API.
src/
is where the interfaces will be generated.
Omit the resource flag to generate files for all resource types exposed by the API.
You can also use an OpenAPI documentation with -f openapi3
.
This command parses the Hydra documentation and creates one .ts
file for each API Resource you have defined in your application, in the interfaces
subfolder.
Note: If you are not sure what the entrypoint is, see Troubleshooting.
Example
Assuming you have 2 resources in your application, Foo
and Bar
, when you run:
npm init @api-platform/client https://demo.api-platform.com src/ -- --generator typescript
You will obtain 2 .ts
files arranged as following:
-
src/
- interfaces/
- foo.ts
- bar.ts
