Generate flat API types from an OpenAPI schema

Convert a small OpenAPI document into flat exported TypeScript interfaces for component schemas and endpoint contracts

export interface User {
  id: string;
  name: string;
}

export interface GetUserPath {
  id: string;
}

export type GetUserResponse = { status: "200"; data: User };

Overview

The OpenAPI to TypeScript Generator allows developers to instantly convert Swagger or OpenAPI JSON/YAML specifications into strongly-typed TypeScript interfaces, request payloads, and response models, ensuring type safety across your API integration layer.

When to Use

  • When you need to synchronize frontend API models with backend schema changes.
  • When you want to eliminate manual type definitions for API endpoints.
  • When you need to maintain consistent naming conventions across large-scale API documentation.

How It Works

  • Paste your OpenAPI or Swagger JSON/YAML specification into the input area.
  • Select your preferred output format, naming style, and declaration type.
  • Toggle options to include operation types or documentation descriptions.
  • Generate and copy the resulting TypeScript code for use in your project.

Use Cases

Automating frontend API client type generation from backend Swagger docs.
Standardizing API response models across multiple microservices.
Rapidly prototyping TypeScript interfaces from existing API specifications.

Examples

1. Generating API Types for a User Service

Frontend Developer
Background
The backend team updated the User API schema, and the frontend developer needs to update the TypeScript interfaces to match the new response structure.
Problem
Manually updating complex nested interfaces is error-prone and time-consuming.
How to Use
Paste the YAML schema, select 'Interface' as the declaration style, and enable 'Include Operation Types'.
Example Config
sourceFormat: yaml, outputFormat: flat, namingStyle: pascal, declarationStyle: interface
Outcome
The tool generates clean, exported TypeScript interfaces for the User model and corresponding path parameters, ready to be imported into the API service layer.

FAQ

Which OpenAPI versions are supported?

The tool supports standard OpenAPI 3.0 and Swagger 2.0 specifications provided in JSON or YAML format.

Can I choose between interfaces and type aliases?

Yes, you can toggle the declaration style between 'Interface' and 'Type Alias' in the configuration settings.

Does it support namespace wrapping?

Yes, you can select 'Namespace Wrapper' in the output format settings and define a custom namespace name.

Will my documentation comments be preserved?

Yes, if you enable the 'Include Descriptions' checkbox, the tool will map schema descriptions to TypeScript comments.

Is the generated code ready for production?

Yes, the output is standard TypeScript code that can be directly integrated into your frontend or backend services.
