describe2ts
Converts a salesforce DescribeSObjectResult object (typically produced by jsforce) to a salesforce interface
Usage Example
import describe2ts from 'describe2ts'
import { writeFileSync } from 'fs'
// describe files retrieved from somewhere
const describes: DescribeSObjectResult[] = getDescribes()
const nameMatch = ['Contact', 'Account']
// only create interfaces for the objects in the nameMatch array
const resolver = (name: string) =>
nameMatch.includes(name) ? `import("./${name}").default` : null
// used for determining nillability of child relationships
// this is optional
const sobjectResolver = (name: string) => describes.find(d => d.name === name)
for (const desc of describes) {
const iface = describe2ts(desc, resolver, sobjectResolver)
writeFileSync(`${desc.name}.ts`, iface, 'utf8')
