Typehole is a Visual Studio Code extension that automatically generates TypeScript interfaces from runtime values. It bridges serializable values from a running Node.js or browser application back into the editor, where they are turned into static type definitions.
Use cases
- generate typescript types from api responses
- create interfaces for runtime values automatically
- type unknown json payloads in typescript
- infer static types from javascript module values
- capture runtime data samples as type definitions in vscode
When to choose
- you need types for JSON-serializable API responses or payloads
- you work in VS Code with TypeScript and want to avoid hand-writing interfaces
- you want to sample runtime values repeatedly to augment types
When to avoid
- you need types for non-serializable values like classes or functions
- you don't use Visual Studio Code
- you need a fully mature, production-hardened tool - the project is explicitly experimental and releases stopped in 2023
