JSON to TypeScript Type Converter Extension

This Visual Studio Code Extension converts JSON data from the clipboard into TypeScript types and inserts the result directly into the active editor. This tool is useful for developers who work frequently with JSON data and need to quickly convert it into strongly-typed TypeScript definitions.

Features

• Convert JSON data from the clipboard into TypeScript type declarations.

Usage

1. Copy a valid JSON object to your clipboard.
2. In VS Code, place the cursor where you want to insert the TypeScript type.
3. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+V or Cmd+Shift+V on Mac).
4. The extension will insert the converted TypeScript type at the current cursor position.

Example

DEMO

Input (Clipboard JSON):

{
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30,
  "active": true
}

Output (Inserted TypeScript type):

type RootObject = {
  name: string;
  age: number;
  active: boolean;
};

Dependencies

• VS Code Extension API
• json-to-ts
