# Tsify
Tsify is a library for generating TypeScript definitions from Rust code.
Using this with [`wasm-bindgen`](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen) will automatically output the types to `.d.ts`.
Inspired by [`typescript-definitions`](https://github.com/arabidopsis/typescript-definitions) and [`ts-rs`](https://github.com/Aleph-Alpha/ts-rs).
## Example
Click to show Cargo.toml.
```toml
[dependencies]
tsify = "0.4.5"
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
wasm-bindgen = { version = "0.2" }
```
```rust
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use tsify::Tsify;
use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;
#[derive(Tsify, Serialize, Deserialize)]
#[tsify(into_wasm_abi, from_wasm_abi)]
pub struct Point {
x: i32,
y: i32,
}
#[wasm_bindgen]
pub fn into_js() -> Point {
Point { x: 0, y: 0 }
}
#[wasm_bindgen]
pub fn from_js(point: Point) {}
```
Will generate the following `.d.ts` file:
```ts
/* tslint:disable */
/* eslint-disable */
/**
* @returns {Point}
*/
export function into_js(): Point;
/**
* @param {Point} point
*/
export function from_js(point: Point): void;
export interface Point {
x: number;
y: number;
}
```
This is the behavior due to [`typescript_custom_section`](https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/wasm-bindgen/reference/attributes/on-rust-exports/typescript_custom_section.html) and [`Rust Type conversions`](https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/wasm-bindgen/contributing/design/rust-type-conversions.html).
## Crate Features
- `json` (default) enables serialization through [`serde_json`](https://github.com/serde-rs/json).
- `js` enables serialization through [`serde-wasm-bindgen`](https://github.com/cloudflare/serde-wasm-bindgen) and generates the appropriate types for it. This will be the default in future versions.
## Attributes
Tsify container attributes
- `into_wasm_abi` implements `IntoWasmAbi` and `OptionIntoWasmAbi`. This can be converted directly from Rust to JS via `serde_json` or `serde-wasm-bindgen`.
- `from_wasm_abi` implements `FromWasmAbi` and `OptionFromWasmAbi`. This is the opposite operation of the above.
- `namespace` generates a namespace for the enum variants.
Tsify field attributes
- `type`
- `optional`
Serde attributes
- `rename`
- `rename-all`
- `tag`
- `content`
- `untagged`
- `skip`
- `skip_serializing`
- `skip_deserializing`
- `skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none"`
- `flatten`
- `default`
- `transparent`
## Type Override
```rust
use tsify::Tsify;
#[derive(Tsify)]
pub struct Foo {
#[tsify(type = "0 | 1 | 2")]
x: i32,
}
```
Generated type:
```ts
export interface Foo {
x: 0 | 1 | 2;
}
```
## Optional Properties
```rust
#[derive(Tsify)]
struct Optional {
#[tsify(optional)]
a: Option,
#[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
b: Option,
#[serde(default)]
c: i32,
}
```
Generated type:
```ts
export interface Optional {
a?: number;
b?: string;
c?: number;
}
```
## Enum
```rust
#[derive(Tsify)]
enum Color {
Red,
Blue,
Green,
Rgb(u8, u8, u8),
Hsv {
hue: f64,
saturation: f64,
value: f64,
},
}
```
Generated type:
```ts
export type Color =
| "Red"
| "Blue"
| "Green"
| { Rgb: [number, number, number] }
| { Hsv: { hue: number; saturation: number; value: number } };
```
## Enum with namespace
```rust
#[derive(Tsify)]
#[tsify(namespace)]
enum Color {
Red,
Blue,
Green,
Rgb(u8, u8, u8),
Hsv {
hue: f64,
saturation: f64,
value: f64,
},
}
```
Generated type:
```ts
declare namespace Color {
export type Red = "Red";
export type Blue = "Blue";
export type Green = "Green";
export type Rgb = { Rgb: [number, number, number] };
export type Hsv = { Hsv: { hue: number; saturation: number; value: number } };
}
export type Color =
| "Red"
| "Blue"
| "Green"
| { Rgb: [number, number, number] }
| { Hsv: { hue: number; saturation: number; value: number } };
```
## Type Aliases
```rust
use tsify::{declare, Tsify};
#[derive(Tsify)]
struct Foo(T);
#[declare]
type Bar = Foo;
```
Generated type:
```ts
export type Foo = T;
export type Bar = Foo;
```
