typescript-json-schema VS TypeScript

Typescript to JSON Schema

For anyone using both TypeScript and JSON schemas, but wanting to use TypeScript as the source of truth, I highly recommend the following library: [ts-json-schema-generator](https://github.com/YousefED/typescript-json-schema).

It does exactly what it says in the box: turns your TypeScript `types` / `interface` into machine-readable JSON schemas.

The library has a few open issues (does not deal well with some edge cases of composing Omit<> on sum types, and does not support dynamic (const) keys), but compared to manually writing JSON schemas, it's been amazing!

There are a bunch of tools to generate JSON-schema from a TS codebase, ie https://github.com/YousefED/typescript-json-schema

Now that cool thing we wanted to do? This library does exactly that!

> For more complex cases I find myself wishing I could just turn Typescript into some kind of schema validation for JSON.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, and whether it's powerful and expressive enough for your use case, but you can use typescript-json-schema¹ for this, and validate with eg ajv.

For what it's worth, thanks to TypeScript transformers (a feature baked into the compiler), one can create a transformer library that verifies an object is valid for any TypeScript type and conveys that information to the typechecker. And indeed, it's already been made. It allows to parse unknown into a given T. This is nice, because one can generate a JSON schema out of a TS type, for other languages/codebases to integrate safely.

This is why I originally started a project to convert ts to json schema; https://github.com/YousefED/typescript-json-schema (and also check out a good alternative https://github.com/vega/ts-json-schema-generator)

Regular expressions are part of the language, so it's not so unreasonable that TypeScript should parse them and take their semantics into account. Indeed, TypeScript 5.5 will include [new support for syntax checking of regular expressions](https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/pull/55600), and presumably they'll eventually be able to solve the problem the GP highlighted on top of those foundations.

Dedicated syntax for creating unique subsets of a type that denote a particular refinement is a longstanding ask[2] - and very useful, we've experimented with implementations.[3]

I don't think it has any relation to runtime type checking at all. It's refinement types, [4] or newtypes[5] depending on the details and how you shape it.

Learning Curve and Developer Tooling sCrypt is an embedded Domain Specific Language (eDSL) based on TypeScript. It is strictly a subset of TypeScript, so all sCrypt code is valid TypeScript. TypeScript is chosen as the host language because it provides an easy, familiar language (JavaScript), but with type safety. There’s an abundance of learning materials available for TypeScript and thus sCrypt, including online tutorials, courses, documentation, and community support. This makes it relatively easy for beginners to start learning. It also has a vast ecosystem with numerous libraries and frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue) that can simplify development and integration with Web2 applications.

As a JavaScript or TypeScript developer, you might have come across the terms type and interface when working with complex data structures or defining custom types. While both serve similar purposes, they have distinct characteristics that influence when to use them. In this blog post, we'll delve into the differences between types and interfaces in TypeScript, providing examples to aid your understanding.

TypeScript helps you in many ways in the context of a JavaScript app. It makes it easier to consume interfaces of any type.

In this guide, we'll be extracting information from Amazon product pages using the power of TypeScript in combination with the Cheerio and Crawlee libraries. We'll explore how to retrieve and extract detailed product data such as titles, prices, image URLs, and more from Amazon's vast marketplace. We'll also discuss handling potential blocking issues that may arise during the scraping process.
