Laravel Enum to TypeScript

A simple Laravel package to convert your PHP enums into TypeScript enums, helping you maintain type safety between your backend and frontend.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require toniel/laravel-enum-to-typescript

Configuration

To publish the configuration file, run the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Toniel\LaravelEnumToTypeScript\LaravelEnumToTypeScriptServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This will create a config/enum-to-typescript.php file in your application's config directory. Here, you can customize the default paths and behavior of the command.

// config/enum-to-typescript.php

return [
    // The directory where your PHP enums are located.
    'source_dir' => 'app/Enums',

    // The directory where the generated TypeScript enums will be placed.
    'dest_dir' => 'resources/ts/Enums',

    // The case for the generated TypeScript enum filenames.
    // Supported values: "PascalCase", "kebab-case".
    'filename_case' => 'PascalCase',

    // Defines how the TypeScript enums are generated.
    // Supported values: "multiple_files", "single_file".
    'output_strategy' => 'multiple_files',

    // When using the "single_file" output strategy, this will be the name
    // of the generated TypeScript file (without the .ts extension).
    'single_file_name' => 'enums',
];

Usage

To convert your PHP enums to TypeScript, run the following artisan command:

php artisan typescript:transform-enum

The command will scan the source_dir for PHP enums and generate the corresponding TypeScript enums in the dest_dir.

Options

You can override the default configuration by passing options to the command:

• --source: Specify the source directory for PHP enums.

  php artisan typescript:transform-enum --source="app/CustomEnums"
  

• --dest: Specify the destination directory for TypeScript enums.

  php artisan typescript:transform-enum --dest="resources/js/types"
  

• --filename-case: Specify the case for the generated filenames (PascalCase or kebab-case).

  php artisan typescript:transform-enum --filename-case=kebab-case
  

• --strategy: Specify the output strategy (single_file or multiple_files).

  php artisan typescript:transform-enum --strategy=single_file
  

Example

Given a PHP enum:

// app/Enums/UserRole.php

namespace App\Enums;

enum UserRole: string
{
    case ADMIN = 'admin';
    case USER = 'user';
}

Running the command will generate the following TypeScript enum:

Multiple Files Strategy (default)

A new file resources/ts/Enums/UserRole.ts will be created:

export enum UserRole {
  ADMIN = 'admin',
  USER = 'user',
}

Single File Strategy

A single file resources/ts/Enums/enums.ts (or your configured single_file_name) will be created containing all enums:

export enum UserRole {
  ADMIN = 'admin',
  USER = 'user',
}

// ... other enums ...
