@cap-js/cds-typer

CDS type generator for JavaScript

About this project

Generates .ts files for a CDS model to receive code completion in VS Code.

Exhaustive documentation can be found on CAPire.

Known Restrictions

Certain language features of CDS can not be represented in TypeScript. Trying to generate types for models using these features will therefore result in incorrect or broken TypeScript code.

Changing Types

While the following is valid CDS, there is no TypeScript equivalent that would allow the type of an inherited property to change (TS2416).

entity A {
  foo: Integer
};

entity B: A {
  foo: String
}
