Pocketbase Typegen

Generate typescript definitions from your pocketbase.io schema.

Quickstart

npx pocketbase-typegen --db ./pb_data/data.db --out pocketbase-types.ts

This will produce types for all your PocketBase collections to use in your frontend typescript codebase.

Usage

Options:
  -V, --version          output the version number
  -d, --db <char>        path to the pocketbase SQLite database
  -j, --json <char>      path to JSON schema exported from pocketbase admin UI
  -u, --url <char>       URL to your hosted pocketbase instance. When using this options you must also provide email and password options.
  -e, --email <char>     email for an admin pocketbase user. Use this with the --url option
  -p, --password <char>  password for an admin pocketbase user. Use this with the --url option
  -o, --out <char>       path to save the typescript output file (default: "pocketbase-types.ts")
  -h, --help             display help for command

DB example:

npx pocketbase-typegen --db ./pb_data/data.db

JSON example (export JSON schema from the pocketbase admin dashboard):

npx pocketbase-typegen --json ./pb_schema.json

URL example:

npx pocketbase-typegen --url https://myproject.pockethost.io --email [e-mail] --password 'secr3tp@ssword!'

Example output

The output is a typescript file pocketbase-types.ts (example) which will contain:

• An enum of all collections
• One type for each collection (eg ProfilesRecord)
• One response type for each collection (eg ProfilesResponse) which includes base fields like id, updated, created
• A type CollectionRecords mapping each collection name to the record type

In the upcoming PocketBase SDK v0.8 you will be able to use generic types when fetching records, eg:

pb.collection('tasks').getOne<Task>("RECORD_ID") // -> results in Promise<Task>
