Typia is a transformer library supporting:
- Super-fast Runtime Validators
- Enhanced JSON functions
- Protocol Buffer encoder and decoder
- Random data generator
Looks good so far. How do I get it to play nice with jest / ts-jest ?
Oh, I get it. It’s like a tech demo, to encourage Microsoft to add compiler plugins. Can’t really use it on a project of any scale, due to every other tool also providing its own TS compiler, again because TSC doesn’t support plugins.
I use it in the code generator mode (https://typia.io/docs/setup/#generation) that doesn’t require the tsc plugin integration and works well with other build tools (in my case esbuild) and arbitrary testing/code-coverage libraries.
Oh, you just add it as a separate task in package.json? That seems nicer than converting all your type defs manually to io.ts format or similar.
Yes, that mode works pretty well. In my case I don’t really own the types (they come from a third party source) so being able to to auto generate validators from them is very convenient.
