README
typex
Examine Go types and their transitive dependencies. Export results as TypeScript value objects (or types) declaration.
Installation
go get -u github.com/dtgorski/typex
Synopsis
The CLI command typex
filters and displays Go type structures, interfaces and their relationships across package boundaries.
It generates a type hierarchy tree with additional references to transitive dependencies vital for the filtered types.
As an additional feature, typex
exports the result tree as a TypeScript projection representing value objects or bare types.
Examples
Go type hierarchy layout
$ typex -f=Rune io/...
โโโ error interface {
โ Error() string
โ }
โโโ io
โโโ RuneReader interface {
โ ReadRune() (r rune, size int, err error)
โ }
โโโ RuneScanner interface {
io.RuneReader
ReadRune() (r rune, size int, err error)
UnreadRune() error
}
$ typex -f=Render github.com/dtgorski/typex/...

โ IncludeUnexported bool

โโโ ts

TypeScript value object layout
$ typex -f=File -l=ts-class mime/multipart
export module mime {
export module multipart {
export class FileHeader {
constructor(
readonly Filename: string,
readonly Header: net.textproto.MIMEHeader,
readonly Size: number,
) {}
}
}
}
export module net {
export module textproto {
export type MIMEHeader = Record<string, string[]>
}
}
TypeScript bare type layout
$ typex -f=File -l=ts-type mime/multipart
export module mime {
export module multipart {
export type FileHeader = {
Filename: string,
Header: net.textproto.MIMEHeader,
Size: number,
}
}
}
export module net {
export module textproto {
export type MIMEHeader = Record<string, string[]>
}
}
TypeScript and reserved keywords
Basically, the names of types and fields will be exported from Go without modification. Collisions with reserved keywords or standard type names in the target language may occur. To avoid conflicts, you may use the JSON tag annotation for the exported fields of a struct as described in the json.Marshal(...) documentation.
TypeScript and exportable types
Due to fundamental language differences, typex
is not capable of exporting all type declarations one-to-one. Refer to the type mapping table below.
Go channel, interface and function declarations will be omitted, references to these declarations will be typed with any
.
TypeScript type mapping
TypeScript (resp. JavaScript aka ECMAScript) lacks a native integer number type.
The numeric type provided there is inherently a 64 bit float.
You should keep this in mind when working with exported numeric types - this includes byte
and rune
type aliases as well.
Go native type | TypeScript type |
---|---|
bool |
boolean |
string |
string |
map |
Record<K, V> |
struct (named) |
T |
struct (anonymous) |
{} |
array (slice) |
T[] |
complex [64 |128 ] |
any |
chan , func , interface |
any |
int [8 |16 |32 |64 ] |
number |
uint [8 |16 |32 |64 ] |
number |
byte (=uint8 ) |
number |
rune (=int32 ) |
number |
float [32 |64 ] |
number |
uintptr |
number |
Usage
$ typex -h
Usage: typex [options] package...
Examine Go types and their transitive dependencies. Export
results as TypeScript value objects (or types) declaration.
Options:
-f <name>
Type name filter expression. Repeating the -f option
is allowed, all expressions aggregate to an OR query.
The <name> filter can be a type name, a path part or
a regular expression. Especially in the latter case,
<name> should be quoted or escaped correctly to avoid
errors during shell interpolation. Filters are case
sensitive, see examples below.
The result tree will contain additional references to
transitive dependencies vital for the filtered types.
-l <layout>
Modify the export layout. Available layouts are:
* "go": the default Go type dependency tree
* "ts-type": TypeScript type declaration projection
* "ts-class": TypeScript value object projection
-r <old-path>:<new-path>
Replace matching portions of <old-path> in a fully
qualified type name with <new-path> string. Repeating
the -r option is allowed, substitutions will perform
successively. <old-path> can be a regular expression.
The path replacement/relocation can be used to modify
locations of type hierarchies, e.g. prune off the
"github.com" reference from qualified type name path
by omitting the <new-path> part after the colon.
-t Go tests (files suffixed _test.go) will be included
in the result tree available for a filter expression
-u Unexported types (lowercase names) will be included
in the result tree available for a filter expression.
-x <name>
Exclude type names from export. Repeating this option
is allowed, all expressions aggregate to an OR query.
The exclusion filter can be a type name, a path part
or a regular expression.
More options:
-h Display this usage help and exit.
-v Print program version and exit.
The 'package' argument denotes one or more package import path
patterns to be inspected. Patterns must be separated by space.
A pattern containing '...' specifies the active modules whose
modules paths match the pattern.
Examples:
$ typex -u go/...
$ typex -u -f=URL net/url
$ typex github.com/your/repository/...
$ typex -l=ts-type github.com/your/repository/...
$ typex -r=github.com:a/b/c github.com/your/repository/...
This tool relies heavily on Go's package managing subsystem and
is bound to its features and environmental execution context.
Known issues
- Occasional(?)
internal error
from Go's package managing subsystem has been reported on Go 1.14.6 darwin/amd64. Newer Go versions >= 1.15 seem to be not affected.
Disclaimer
The implementation and features of typex
follow the YAGNI principle.
There is no claim for completeness or reliability.
