polly VS quicktype

re: Grafana (i'm the author of the linked issue) - i'm quite excited, i do think there's a world of possibilities here.

Two-way sync with a git repo is one possible path, and we've talked a lot internally at GL about how to best support it. My sense is that we can do it with relatively little friction and likely will - but if you're just syncing with a git repo, there's still a lot of arbitrary, opaque repo layout decisions that still have to be made (how do you map a filesystem position for a dashboard to a position in Grafana? In a way that places the dashboards next to the systems they're intended to observe? With many teams? With many Grafana instances?) which induce new kinds of friction at scale.

Fortunately - and not mutually exclusively with the above - by building the system for schema in CUE, we've made a composable thing that we can make into larger systems. That's what we're starting to do with Polly: https://github.com/pollypkg/polly

Conveniently, my parts of a Grafanaconline talk tomorrow discusses both of these https://grafana.com/go/grafanaconline/2021/dashboards-as-cod... :D

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
