What is API to TS Interface?
The api-to-ts-interface skill is designed to streamline the development workflow by eliminating the manual overhead of writing TypeScript interfaces for API payloads. By analyzing JSON or XML responses, it recursively infers complex type structures, including nested objects, arrays, and unions, to produce clean and compilable code. This skill is a vital addition to any developer's toolkit within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, ensuring type safety and consistency across large-scale projects.
Beyond simple code generation, it provides a unique Storybook-style UI that visualizes these types, making it easier for teams to explore and document their data models. Whether integrated into a CI/CD pipeline or used as a standalone CLI tool, it enhances productivity by providing instant, error-free TypeScript definitions derived directly from live API data.
API to TS Interface Use Cases
- Converting large, complex JSON API responses into strongly typed TypeScript interfaces.
- Generating interactive documentation for frontend teams to visualize API data structures.
- Automating type synchronization in CI/CD pipelines to prevent runtime errors caused by API changes.
- Rapidly prototyping frontend components using real-world API data with inferred types.
How API to TS Interface Works
- The Parser recursively traverses the provided JSON or XML payload to identify primitives, objects, arrays, and optional fields.
- The Generator applies TypeScript best practices, such as adding readonly modifiers and handling circular references, to produce formatted .ts files.
- The Storybook Renderer creates a Component Story Format (CSF) documentation UI to visualize the inferred types with example values.
- The CLI or Agent interface allows users to trigger these workflows through simple commands or natural language prompts.
API to TS Interface Setup
Install the dependencies and use the CLI to start generating types for your Openclaw Skills projects:
npm install
# Generate a single interface
ts-interface generate --response api-response.json --output types.ts
# Generate Storybook documentation
ts-interface storybook --input types.ts --docs-dir ./docs
You can also configure project-specific settings in a .apitotsrc.json file to customize output paths and formatting.
API to TS Interface Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes its output and internal logic through the following structure:
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
scripts/ |
Contains the core parser, generator, and CLI logic. |
references/ |
Stores common type mappings and interface templates. |
assets/ui/ |
React components and styles for the Storybook documentation. |
.apitotsrc.json |
JSON configuration for output paths and formatting preferences. |
It generates standard .ts files and Storybook-compatible documentation files from any valid API payload.
API to TS Interface Advanced Features
- OpenClaw Agent Integration: Seamlessly trigger type generation within automated agent workflows via natural language.
- Recursive Type Inference: Handles deeply nested structures and complex union types (e.g., string | null) without manual intervention.
- Custom Templates: Modify the interface.ts template to match your specific coding style or linting rules.
- Batch Processing: Convert multiple API responses simultaneously to build a comprehensive type library for entire services.
