schema2type

Using schema2type, you can generate TypeScript type definitions from Rails'schema.rb automatically.

Start with a schema.rb:

ActiveRecord::Schema.define(version: xxxx) do
  create_table "Users", force: :cascade, options: "ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8" do |t|
    t.string "name"
    t.integer "age"
    t.bigint "sales"
    t.boolean "paid", null: false
    t.datetime "created_at", null: false
    t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
    t.index ["patient_id"], name: "index_histories_on_patient_id"
  end
end

Automatically have the following TypesScript type generated.

declare namespace schema {
  type User = {
    id: number;
    name: string | null;
    age: number | null;
    sales: number | null;
    paid: boolean;
    createdAt: string;
    updatedAt: string;
  }
}
