papr VS quicktype

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.

I grab the response off of the network tab. Either make a structure manually or use something like QuickType

2. Quicktype

I have the library demo linked from the homepage bookmarked: https://app.quicktype.io/ I use it every time I need to go from a pile of JSON to TypeScript types or zod declarations.

This is a very intriguing problem!

Not trying to steal thunder, but quicktype (https://github.com/quicktype/quicktype) does all of this–JSON schema or TypeScript definitions to de/serializers and types in nearly 30 languages at this point. Try it here: https://app.quicktype.io

I usually use this tool: https://app.quicktype.io

Grab the json, paste it into https://app.quicktype.io/ and see if the structure matched your struct.

I usually use https://app.quicktype.io/ , they also have a VSCode plugin and then fieldaligment to make sure it's as compact as possible.

Just paste your json inside app.quicktype.io or it's vscode

P.S. This could be more efficient to generate Codable code than ChatGPT
