Use Case: Data Models

In the most simple case you are only interested in TypeScript interfaces, representing input and output models of the given OData service.

Runtime Dependencies​

None. The generated interfaces do not have any dependencies themselves.

Generation Settings​

Adapt your config file odata2ts.config.ts: Set the mode option to models. The following example highlights the central settings for this use case:

import { ConfigFileOptions, EmitModes, Modes } from "@odata2ts/odata2ts";

const config: ConfigFileOptions = {
  mode: Modes.models,
  skipEditableModels: false,
  skipIdModels: false,
  skipOperations: false,
  services: {
    trippin: {
      source: "resource/trippin.xml",
      output: "build/trippin",
    }
  }
}

export default config;

Via the skipXXX options you can tell odata2ts to not generate model interfaces for certain things.

Usage​

Update your metadata file whenever the server changes.

Run the gen-odata script:

npm run gen-odata

You can now use the generated models in your code by importing them from the configured build folder.
