How to use

One type object

1. Select your type or interface object. Target type or interface's each type property ❗❗❗**must be divided with ;**❗❗❗.
2. Open Command palette by following command.

• Windows: Ctrl+Shift+P
• Mac: Cmd+Shift+P

3. Apply Type To Json: Make default values from a type object.

Multiple type objects

1. Select your whole type objects. But you must include type [name] = {}, interface [name] {} or it will not work. And each type property ❗❗❗**must be divided with ;**❗❗❗.
2. Open Command palette by following command.

• Windows: Ctrl+Shift+P
• Mac: Cmd+Shift+P

3. Apply Type To Json: Make default values from complex types.

Example

Simple type input

type Case1 = {
  adsf: string;
  b: number;
  cvcxv: [];
  d: undefined; // undefined will be parsed as string type "undefined"
  e: Object;
  f: {
    t: {
      a: string;
      b: [];
      c: {
        h: {
          k: string;
        };
      };
    };
  };
  k: Object;
  o: { t: { a: string; b: []; c: { h: { j: string; n: number } } } };
};

Output

{
  "adsf": "",
  "b": 0,
  "cvcxv": [],
  "d": "undefined",
  "e": {},
  "f": { "t": { "a": "", "b": [], "c": { "h": { "k": "" } } } },
  "k": {},
  "o": { "t": { "a": "", "b": [], "c": { "h": { "j": "", "n": 0 } } } }
}

Multiple type inputs

export interface Child1 {
  esfdsa: string;
  vcxzvcxz: string; // test
  tewtwe: string;
  qqew: string;
}

export interface Child2 {
  dasda: string;
  gfxzgf: string; // dfafdsa
  bcvk4: string;
  wqe123: string;
  kdkeiII: string;
}

interface Info {
  FEFEss: number;
  fskeo: number;
  tfkr4D: number;
  fddsfe: string;
  azfds: Child1;
  bvnb: string;
  tests: []; //test comment
  qqqqaaaaa: Child2[]; // test comment~
  ttt: Array<Child2>;
  ccccxxxxx: Child1[];
}

Output

{
  "Child1": { "esfdsa": "", "vcxzvcxz": "", "tewtwe": "", "qqew": "" },
  "Child2": {
    "dasda": "",
    "gfxzgf": "",
    "bcvk4": "",
    "wqe123": "",
    "kdkeiII": ""
  },
  "Info": {
    "FEFEss": 0,
    "fskeo": 0,
    "tfkr4D": 0,
    "fddsfe": "",
    "azfds": { "esfdsa": "", "vcxzvcxz": "", "tewtwe": "", "qqew": "" },
    "bvnb": "",
    "tests": [],
    "qqqqaaaaa": [
      { "dasda": "", "gfxzgf": "", "bcvk4": "", "wqe123": "", "kdkeiII": "" }
    ],
    "ttt": [
      { "dasda": "", "gfxzgf": "", "bcvk4": "", "wqe123": "", "kdkeiII": "" }
    ],
    "ccccxxxxx": [{ "esfdsa": "", "vcxzvcxz": "", "tewtwe": "", "qqew": "" }]
  }
}

Extension Settings

Properties

You could customize your default values.

{
  "typetojson.defaultValues": {
    "string": "hello",
    "number": 123,
    "boolean": false
  }
}

Expected output with custom default values.

type Test = {
  a: string;
  b: number;
  c: boolean;
};

{
  "a": "hello",
  "b": 123,
  "c": false
}

Known Issues

This extension divides each type property with ;. So you must divide each type with ;.

Union type is not availabe yet.
