Quick tip today: Frequently I build Node apps for working with pre-defined data (JSON, API's responses) and, after a loving/hating relation with Typescript and deciding that Typescript is good, I enjoy defining my types early on development, since it saves me a lot of time.
For helping me with this, I've found this awesome app that I can just drop a JSON sample and it will generate the types for me, supporting a dozen of languages: Quicktype.
It also has a VSCode Extension that allows you to do this without leaving your editor.
It supports TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby, C#, Java, Swift, Rust, Kotlin, C++, Flow, Objective-C, JavaScript, Elm, and JSON Schema.
Hope that it helps ;D
Hey Lucis: great post about generating types from JSON! Just wanted to add another awesome tool to the mix: json-5.com/json-to-typescript.
It's specifically designed for TypeScript and offers some cool features like:
JSON5 support: Handles both standard JSON and JSON5, which can be handy for modern web development.
