papr VS json-schema-to-ts

Have you heard about Papr before? https://github.com/plexinc/papr

I also think the typescript support for mongoose leaves much to be desired. A few months ago, papr catched my eye, which looked like it was created from the lack of typesafe ORMs/ODMs for mongoDB.

You should consider either avoiding ODM as suggested by Mongodb here: https://www.mongodb.com/developer/article/mongoose-versus-nodejs-driver/ or may like to consider a lightweight one that plays nicely with mongodb native scheme validation such as Papr https://github.com/plexinc/papr. In a performant mongo db scheme design, relation between collections should not be norm and can be handled directly without using mongoose. For relations, mongoose may generate inefficient queries (more like n+1. That being said, if you must use one then mongoose is indeed more widely used and mature.

JSON Schema To TS

// First create a general "post" schema // Shared Schema export const postSchema = { $id: 'post', type: 'object', properties: { id: { type: 'number' }, title: { type: 'string' }, published: { type: 'boolean' }, content: { type: 'string' }, tags: { type: 'array', items: { type: 'string' } }, deleted: { type: 'boolean' } }, required: ['title', 'published', 'content', 'tags', 'deleted'] } as const // We don't need to create a separate "bodySchema". // But directly infer type from postSchema export type Body = FromSchema // Reply Schema // Check https://www.fastify.io/docs/latest/Reference/Validation-and-Serialization/#adding-a-shared-schema const replySchema = { type: 'object', properties: { posts: { type: 'array', items: { $ref: 'post#' } } }, additionalProperties: false } as const // Check https://github.com/ThomasAribart/json-schema-to-ts#references export type Reply = FromSchema< typeof replySchema, { references: [typeof postSchema] } > // Also make ReplyNotFound reusable for future use export const postNotFoundSchema = { $id: 'postNotFound', // add $id here type: 'object', required: ['error'], properties: { error: { type: 'string' } }, additionalProperties: false } as const export type PostNotFound = FromSchema

json-schema-to-ts comes to the rescue. 💪
