myts 0.1.128

MyPy to TS generator

In alpha this is not production ready

Converts MyPy types to TS types. Uses MyPy's internal api to gather type info.

Call as a cli, optionally directory watchable. Or import and invoke directly from your Python code.

Installation

pip

pip install myts

poetry

poetry add myts

Usage

In your code

Myts looks for any classes that inherit from MytsType to start building its dependency graph. These by default will be included in the output TS.

Alternatively you can use the myts_export decorator on Enums and TypedDicts and classes that you would like to have exported without needing to be referenced by a MytsType class.

Note: Right now you cannot alias either of these, in a future version that will be okay.

from enum import IntEnum
from myts import MytsType, myts_export

@myts_export
class Fruit(IntEnum): # Will be in the TS output
	apple = 0
	orange = 1
	banana = 2

class Vegetable(IntEnum): # Will not be, because it is not referenced ever and is not decorated with myts_export
	carrot = 0
	celery = 1
	lettuce = 2

class Drink(IntEnum): # Will be in the output, reference by a MytsType below
	water = 0
	milk = 1
	soda = 2

class BeveragePreference(MytsType): # Will export and will also export the Drink enum
	drink: Drink
	person: Person

CLI

To see all cli options run

myts -h

Optionally a config file can be used. By default myts will attempt to find a mytsconfig.toml in the specified root. Alternatively a config file can be supplied through the -c or --config argument to the cli.

Note: that arguments to the cli will override config settings found in the config.

This is a flat toml that can optionally supply any or none of the following:

root = "/some/path" # If specifying root in the config make sure it is an absolute path
output = "./out/" # When output is relative, it is relative to root
group = "module" # "module" or "single"
preserve_structure = true # When group is "module" this will create folders matching the py structure
dry_run = false
#output_file_name = "out.ts" # When using group = "single" this will be the name of the output file
#trim_root = "myapp.has.a.long.root.path" # Optionally provide a python formatted module path to trim from all output

Simplest example

To generate the .ts files.

cd <myprojectroot>
myts --output your/output/dir/

A more complex example

Uses trim-root to remove a common py module path from the output.

Uses watch to automatically update generated ts when the py changes.

cd <myprojectroot>
myts --output your/output/dir/ -w

Py

import pathlib
import myts

config = myts.MytsConfiguration(
	root=pathlib.Path('someprojdir'), # defaults to os.cwd()
	output=pathlib.Path('someoutputdir'),
	group='module', # 'single' or 'module' - single will output a single .ts file, 'module' will output files matching the `py` files they come from
	preserve_structure=True, # No effect if group == 'single', otherwise determines output structure. If true folders will be created to match py paths
	dry_run=False, # If true, just prints the paths of output files that would be written
	output_file_name='types.ts', # Only used if group == 'single', determines the name of the single file generated
	trim_root="myapp.some.path" # When preserving structure, use this to trim a common root 
)

myts.extract_ts(config)

Roadmap

• Export to multiple files, flat folder or matching py module structure
• Support generics
• Watch for py changes and auto generate ts
• Export enum literal references preserved. I.e. myvar: Literal[MyEnum.VAL] should export as myvar: MyEnum.VAL
• Config options for
  • [Py api] override output names of vars and files
  • Variable and type naming options (camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case)
  • Interface vs type output
• myts_export params to override naming and module grouping
• Name overwriting using meta class on MytsType or params to myts_export

Example of functionality

Python (Mypy)

from myts import MytsType, myts_export

@myts_export # Flags for export even though it is never referenced
class MyNotReferencedEnum(StrEnum):
	A = "🍁"
	B = "🐝"
	C = "👀"

class SomeEnum(IntEnum): # Automatically exported due to being reference by OtherThing
	A = 5
	B = 6
	C = 12

class MyTypedDict[T](TypedDict): # Generics supported
	a: NotRequired[T]
	b: Literal["one", "two", "three"]

class Example(MytsType): # Inherits MytsType -- will be exported
	something: str
	other_thing: "OtherThing"

@dataclass
class OtherThing(MytsType):
	thing: SomeEnum
	info: MyTypedDict

Output (Typescript)

export enum MyNotReferencedEnum {
	A = "🍁",
	B = "🐝",
	C = "👀",
}

export enum SomeEnum {
	A = 5,
	B = 6,
	C = 12,
}

export type MyTypedDict<T> = {
	a?: T;
	b: "one" | "two" | "three";
};

export type Example = {
	something: string;
	otherThing: OtherThing;
};

export type OtherThing = {
	thing: SomeEnum;
	info: MyTypedDict;
};
