Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<additionalDataLibraries> List<String> - Allows to add support for specified libraries. Some libraries have special Jackson serializers and deserializers for their data types so this parameter allows to reflect actual JSON format of those data types. Note: specified library must be present in project dependencies (typescript-generator itself doesn't depend on those libraries). Supported libraries are:
<addTypeNamePrefix> String - Prefix which will be added to names of classes, interfaces, enums. For example if set to I then mapping for Data will be IData.
<addTypeNameSuffix> String - Suffix which will be added to names of classes, interfaces, enums. For example if set to Data then mapping for Person will be PersonData.
<classes> List<String> - Classes to process.
<classesExtendingClasses> List<String> - Classes to process specified by extended superclasses.
<classesFromAutomaticJaxrsApplication> boolean - Scans JAX-RS resources for JSON classes to process. It is possible to exclude particular REST resource classes using excludeClasses parameter.
<classesFromJaxrsApplication> String - Scans specified JAX-RS javax.ws.rs.core.Application for classes to process. Parameter contains fully-qualified class name. It is possible to exclude particular REST resource classes using excludeClasses parameter.
<classesImplementingInterfaces> List<String> - Classes to process specified by implemented interface.
<classesWithAnnotations> List<String> - Classes to process specified by annotations.
<classPatterns> List<String> - Classes to process specified using glob patterns so it is possible to specify package or class name suffix. Glob patterns support two wildcards:
  • Single * wildcard matches any character except for . and $.

For more information and examples see Class Names Glob Patterns Wiki page.
<customTypeAliases> List<String> - List of custom type aliases. Each item it this list specifies type alias name (possibly with generic parameters) and its definition. Item format is: name:definition. For example for Unwrap<T>:T following type alias will be generated type Unwrap<T> = T. Other examples: SimpleName:VeryLongGeneratedName, StringID<T>:string.
<customTypeMappings> List<String> - List of custom mappings. Each item specifies TypeScript type which will be used for particular Java class. Item format is: javaClassName:typescriptType. For example mapping Joda-Time org.joda.time.LocalDateTime to string would be added as org.joda.time.LocalDateTime:string. Mappings of generic classes must use syntax com.package.MyGenericClass<T1,T2>:TsGenericType2<T1,T2>. Instead of <T1,T2> it is also possible to use [T1,T2].
<customTypeNaming> List<String> - Specifies custom TypeScript names for Java classes. Multiple mappings can be specified, each using this format: javaClassName:typescriptName. This takes precedence over other naming settings. For more information and example see Type Mapping Wiki page.

<referencedFiles> List<String> - List of files which will be referenced using triple-slash directive: /// <reference path="file" />. This can be used with customTypeMappings to provide needed TypeScript types.
<removeTypeNamePrefix> String - Prefix which will be removed from names of classes, interfaces, enums. For example if set to Json then mapping for JsonData will be Data.
<removeTypeNameSuffix> String - Suffix which will be removed from names of classes, interfaces, enums. For example if set to JSON then mapping for DataJSON will be Data.
<requiredAnnotations> List<String> - Properties will be treated as optional except those annotated with any of specified annotations. This parameter is "opposite" of optionalAnnotations, only one of them could be used.
