dummy-type-gen - GenT - GenType

You don't have to manually create dev data to fulfill type!

Now you can ask for it!

Contains 0% of AI! WOW.

Personally I rely on Copilot but it's not covering 100% of my needs.

This should help developers in typescript to generate dummy data.

Features

Keyboard shortcut

Ctrl + G G

Command Palette

Starting from GenType:

• GenType: Insert type name to generate data

Supported structures

Interface and Type for:

• primitive keywords
  • string
  • number
  • boolean
  • never
  • undefined
  • null
  • false
  • true
  • unknown
  • void
• LiteralType
  • StringLiteral
  • Number Literal
• UnionType
• Tuple
• ArrayType
• Identifier
• TypeReference (Array, Records and imports)
• TypeLiteral (objects)
• PropertySignature
• Parameter

in addition to this supports features like:

• resolves internal imports to n level deep
• recursion for types

Remember about

1. External imports (for example types from react) will just resolve with the typename. It's not handling them:

import { FC } from 'react';
const Test: FC = "FC" // <-- Extension will generate.

Missing features

• [ ] support for HeritageClauses (interface extends)
• [ ] support for IntersectionType (Type = A & B)
• [ ] support for Parameters from FunctionType
• [ ] support for function types (optional)

Requirements

• dummy-type-gen.projectPath must be set to absolute path to the project root directory

Extension Settings

• dummy-type-gen.enable: Enable/disable this extension.
• dummy-type-gen.projectPath: Path to the project root directory. Useful to keep it in .vscode/settings.json per workspace

Known Issues

Did not tested it with very nested types (more than 3x deep).

It's beta, be aware.
