What For and Not

TypeScript CodeDOM is for code generators that use CodeDOM over template or Roslyn, for example, Fonlow.Poco2TS that reads an assembly with POCO classes, and WebApiClientGen that reads assemblies and the run time type info of a running Web API, and then create Code DOM that could be used to generate C# and TypeScript codes.

There are scenarios that Roslyn and template may provide more powerful features that you want and help you to write less codes with simpler design when developing the code generators.

What Supported and Not

CodeDOM covers almost every essential C# language features, however, not every features of such coverage is applicable to TypeScript.

GeneratorSupport Enum

Supported CodeDOM Classes

Most supported classes are covered by unit testing, while some are covered by integration testing in some code generator projects, marked as "Indirectly" in the table below.

Hints:

• There are integration tests in PocoToTS, WebApiClientGen and OpenApiClientGen, covering some classes like XxxCollection.

Examples Utilizing TypeScriptProvider

• Unit Testing
• Integration Testing with PocoToTS
• Code Generator for Angular Reactive Forms

Generated Code Examples

• Client API codes with typed forms and validators generated from Web API
• OpenAPI to Angular 5+ and integration tests for pet.yaml
• OpenAPI to Angular Reactive Typed Forms
• OpenAPI to Aurelia and integration tests for pet.yaml
• OpenAPI to AXIOS and integration tests for pet.yaml
• OpenAPI to Fetch API and integration tests for pet.yaml
• OpenAPI to jQuery and integration tests for pet.yaml

TypeScript Code Generators

• Nuget package Strongly Typed Web API Client Generators and its plugins for JavaScript libraries and frameworks: jQuery, FetchAPI, AXIOS, Aurelia, Angular 2+, Angular Reactive Forms.
• Command Line Program Strongly Typed OpenAPI Client Generators whic also generates codes for Angular 2+, Angular Reactive Forms, Aurelia, AXIOS, FetchAPI and jQuery.

History

TypeScript CodeDOM had been a by-product of Strongly Typed Web API Client Generators since October 2015 until February 2024, as a foundation library of TypeScript code generators of WebApiClientGen and then OpenApiClientGen, as well as internal code generators in some companies in which the development teams have chosen the CodeDOM approach over templates.

Legacy repositories:

• Fonlow.TypeScriptCodeDom for .NET Framework and its Nuget package.
• Fonlow.TypeScriptCodeDomCore in WebApiClientGen
