TsBind

A Rust crate for generating TypeScript bindings from structs.

Installation

cargo add ts-bind

Usage

Add the following to your Rust code:

use ts_bind::TsBind;

#[derive(TsBind)]
struct MyStruct {
    field1: String,
    field2: i32,
}

This will generate the corresponding TypeScript interface in the bindings directory.

// bindings/MyStruct.ts
export interface MyStruct {
  field1: string;
  field2: number;
}

Features

Rename structs

You can rename the generated interface by adding the #[ts_bind(rename = "NewName")] attribute.

#[derive(TsBind)]
#[ts_bind(rename = "NewName")]
struct MyStruct {
    field1: String,
    field2: i32,
}

// bindings/NewName.ts
export interface NewName {
  field1: string;
  field2: number;
}

Rename all fields by case

You can rename all fields by case by adding the #[ts_bind(rename_all = "...")] attribute.

#[derive(TsBind)]
#[ts_bind(rename_all = "camelCase")]
struct MyStruct {
    field_one: String,
    field_two: i32,
}

// bindings/MyStruct.ts
export interface MyStruct {
  fieldOne: string;
  fieldTwo: number;
}

Custom export path

You can specify a custom export path by adding the #[ts_bind(export = "path/to/export")] attribute.

#[derive(TsBind)]
#[ts_bind(export = "models")]
struct MyStruct {
    field1: String,
    field2: i32,
}

// models/MyStruct.ts
export interface MyStruct {
  field1: string;
  field2: number;
}

Auto import

Unknown types will automatically be imported to the output TypeScript file.

#[derive(TsBind)]
struct User {
    id: i32,
    posts: Vec<Post>,
}

#[derive(TsBind)]
struct Post {
    title: String,
}

// bindings/User.ts
import { Post } from "./Post"; // automatically imported

export interface User {
  id: number;
  posts: Post[];
}

// bindings/Post.ts
export interface Post {
  title: string;
}

Skipping fields

You can skip fields by adding the #[ts_bind(skip)] attribute.

#[derive(TsBind)]
struct User {
    id: i32,
    #[ts_bind(skip)]
    password: String,
}

export interface User {
  id: number;
}

Struct-Level Attributes

The ts_bind attribute supports the following optional arguments for the entire struct:

Field-Level Attributes

The ts_bind attribute supports the following optional arguments for individual fields:

#[derive(TsBind)]
struct User {
    id: i32,
    #[ts_bind(rename = "postCount")]
    post_count: i32,
}

export interface User {
  id: number;
  postCount: number;
}

Todo

The library is far from complete. Here are some of the features that are planned:

• #[ts_bind(export = "path/to/export")] custom export path.
• #[ts_bind(rename_all = "camelCase")] attribute to rename all fields.
• #[ts_bind(skip)] attribute to skip fields.
• Support for enums.
• #[ts_bind(skip_if = "condition")] attribute to skip fields based on a condition.
