Generic builder for TypeScript

This is small helper class for making buildable objects.

Usage

import { Builder } from '@jeppech/generic-builder-ts'

// Start by declaring an interface, describing your object

interface Person {
  name: string
  age: number
  dob?: Date
}

// Next create a class, with the same name of the interface. This is also known as Declaration Merging.

class Person {
  constructer(builder: Builder<Person> & Person) {
    Object.assign(this, builder)
  }
}

// Notice, that you get hints when calling the `with` method.

const person = new Builder(Person)
  .with('name', 'John')
  .with('age', 25)
  .with('dob', new Date('2005-10-13'))
  .build()
