Run on all files in a directory

[abdurahmanshiine]

Hey there,

I have a directory where I broke down my types into files, is there a way I could run the cli on all the files at once?

I would appreciate it as well if there was a watch mode, it would do me a great service.

Thanks a lot for this great package though, I love it.

Hey @abdurahmanshiine

glad that you can make use of this package! : )

It feels like these are features that already exist and/or are rather done by external programs (correct me if I am wrong).

I have a directory where I broke down my types into files, is there a way I could run the cli on all the files at once?

You could write a script that lists all files in the directory and then execute ts2typebox for all of them. The programmatic usage example could be helpful to you here

I would appreciate it as well if there was a watch mode, it would do me a great service.

Did you try using a file watcher like nodemon for this? Given you created the script mentioned above you could watch for changes in this directory and then run the script.

I think it could be really helpful if you posted your findings/results. We could/should probably add them to the examples folder and probably in the readme.

cheers

For some reason, this is literally the only example I skipped 😅
Let me try to get it to work, and I'll post the results here

Hey @xddq

I tried the programmatic approach, and things seem to work fine, but there is just one issue I couldn't get around, and that's when the file imports a type from another file. It keeps throwing this at me Unhandled: ImportDeclaration import { AccessToken } from "./common";

Any ideas on how to bypass this (if there is an easy solution)?

P.S. Here's my code for reference

import { resolve } from "node:path";
import { watch } from "fs/promises";
import { ts2typebox } from "ts2typebox";

async function run(dir: string, out: string): Promise<void> {
  console.log("Watch mode!\n");
  const watcher = watch(resolve(dir), { recursive: true });

  for await (const event of watcher) {
    if (!event.filename || event.filename.includes("4913")) continue;

    console.log(
      `Rebuilding: ${dir}${
        event.filename.includes("~")
          ? event.filename.split("~")[0]
          : event.filename
      } \n`,
    );

    try {
      const start = Bun.nanoseconds();
      const input = await Bun.file(
        resolve(
          dir +
            (event.filename.includes("~")
              ? event.filename.split("~")[0]
              : event.filename),
        ),
      ).text();
      const result = await ts2typebox({
        input,
        skipTypeCreation: true,
      });
      await Bun.write(
        `${out}${event.filename.includes("~") ? event.filename.split("~")[0] : event.filename}`,
        result,
      );
      const end = Bun.nanoseconds();

      console.log(`Rebuilt in: ${((end - start) / 1_000_000).toString()} ms\n`);
    } catch (e) {
      console.error("Error rebuilding:", e);
    }
  }
}

await run("./input/dir/path", "/output/dir/path");
