Requirements

• .NET Core (2.2 or newer)

Configuration

• Uses VS Code's indentation settings.
• "csharpToTypeScript.export": true controls exporting.
• "csharpToTypeScript.convertDatesTo": "string" sets output type for dates. You can pick between string, Date and string | Date.
• "csharpToTypeScript.convertNullablesTo": "null" sets output type for nullables (int?) to either null or undefined.
• "csharpToTypeScript.toCamelCase": true toggles field name conversion to camel case.
• "csharpToTypeScript.removeInterfacePrefix": true controls whether to remove interface prefixes (IType -> Type).
• "csharpToTypeScript.generateImports": false toggles simple import statements generation.
• "csharpToTypeScript.quotationMark": "double" sets quotation marks for import statements & identifiers (double or single).
• "csharpToTypeScript.useKebabCase": false - use kebab case for file names.
• "csharpToTypeScript.appendModelSuffix": false - append ".model" suffix to file names.

Known limitations / design choices

• Always outputs interface type.
• Only includes public, non-static properties & fields - not methods, not private members.
• Import generation assumes flat output directory structure and file names corresponding to type names (e.g. MyType: myType.ts, my-type.ts, my-type.model.ts).
