### Check TypeScript types against backend models

`ts-backend-check` is a Python package used to check TypeScript types against their corresponding backend models to assure that all fields have been accounted for.

Developed by the [activist community](https://github.com/activist-org), this package is meant to help synchronize the work between frontend and backend development teams. Currently the process supports Django based backends.

<a id="usage-"></a>

## Usage [`⇧`](#contents)

<a id="command-options-"></a>

### Command Options [`⇧`](#contents)

The CLI provides a simple interface to check TypeScript types against backend models:

```bash
# Show help and available commands:
ts-backend-check --help
ts-backend-check -gcf  # generate a configuration file
ts-backend-check -gtp  # generate a test project for experimenting with the CLI

# Check a TypeScript type against a backend model:
ts-backend-check -m <model-identifier-from-config-file>
ts-backend-check -a  # run all models
```

<a id="outputs-"></a>

### Outputs [`⇧`](#contents)

Example success and error outputs for the CLI are:

```
ts-backend-check -m user
✅ Success: All backend models are synced with their corresponding TypeScript interfaces for the provided files.
```

```
ts-backend-check -m user

❌ ts-backend-check error: There are inconsistencies between the provided backend models and TypeScript interfaces. Please see the output below for details.

Field 'user_name' (camelCase: 'userName') from model 'UserModel' is missing in the TypeScript interfaces.
Expected to find this field in the frontend interface: User
To ignore this field, add the following comment to the TypeScript interface: '// ts-backend-check: ignore field userName'

Please fix the 1 error above to have the backend models of backend/models/user.py synced with the TypeScript interfaces of frontend/types/user.ts.
```

<a id="installation-"></a>

## Installation

`ts-backend-check` is available for installation via [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (recommended) or [pip](https://pypi.org/project/ts-backend-check/).

### For Users

```bash
# Using uv (recommended - fast, Rust-based installer):
uv pip install ts-backend-check

# Or using pip:
pip install ts-backend-check
```

### For Development Build

```bash
git clone https://github.com/activist-org/ts-backend-check.git  # or ideally your fork
cd ts-backend-check

# With uv (recommended):
uv sync --all-extras  # install all dependencies
source .venv/bin/activate  # activate venv (macOS/Linux)
# .venv\Scripts\activate  # activate venv (Windows)

# Or with pip:
python -m venv .venv  # create virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate  # activate venv (macOS/Linux)
# .venv\Scripts\activate  # activate venv (Windows)
pip install -e .
```

<a id="configuration-"></a>

# Configuration [`⇧`](#contents)

ts-backend-check is configured via a `.ts-backend.check.yaml` (or `.yml`) configuration file, with an example being the [configuration file for this repository](/.ts-backend-check.yaml) that we use in testing. The following describes the structure of an entry in this file:

```yaml
model_identifier: # an identifier you define that you want to pass to the CLI
  backend_model_path: path/to/a/models.py
  ts_interface_path: path/to/the/corresponding/model_interfaces.ts
  check_blank_model_fields: true # whether to assert that fields that can be blank must also be optional
  backend_to_ts_model_name_conversions: # used if the frontend name is not the backend name
    EventModel: [CommunityEvent]
```

<a id="pre-commit-"></a>

### pre-commit [`⇧`](#contents)

The following is an example [pre-commit](https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit) hook:

<a id="environment-setup-"></a>

# Environment setup [`⇧`](#contents)

1. First and foremost, please see the suggested IDE setup in the dropdown below to make sure that your editor is ready for development.

> [!IMPORTANT]
>
> <details><summary>Suggested IDE setup</summary>
>
> <p>
>
> VS Code
>
> Install the following extensions:
>
> - [charliermarsh.ruff](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=charliermarsh.ruff)
> - [streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker)
>
> </p>
> </details>

2. [Fork](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo) the [ts-backend-check repo](https://github.com/activist-org/ts-backend-check), clone your fork, and configure the remotes:

> [!NOTE]
>
> <details><summary>Consider using SSH</summary>
>
> <p>
>
> Alternatively to using HTTPS as in the instructions below, consider SSH to interact with GitHub from the terminal. SSH allows you to connect without a user-pass authentication flow.
>
> To run git commands with SSH, remember then to substitute the HTTPS URL, `https://github.com/...`, with the SSH one, `git@github.com:...`.
>
> - e.g. Cloning now becomes `git clone git@github.com:<your-username>/ts-backend-check.git`
>
> GitHub also has their documentation on how to [Generate a new SSH key](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent) 🔑
>
> </p>
> </details>

```bash
# Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory.
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/ts-backend-check.git
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory.
cd ts-backend-check
# Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream".
git remote add upstream https://github.com/activist-org/ts-backend-check.git
```

- Now, if you run `git remote -v` you should see two remote repositories named:
  - `origin` (forked repository)
  - `upstream` (ts-backend-check repository)

3. Install `uv` if you don't already have it by following the [official installation guide](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).

4. Create a virtual environment for ts-backend-check (Python `>=3.12`), activate it and install dependencies:

   ```bash
   uv sync --all-extras  # create .venv and install all dependencies from uv.lock

   # Unix or macOS:
   source .venv/bin/activate

   # Windows:
   .venv\Scripts\activate.bat  # .venv\Scripts\activate.ps1 (PowerShell)
   ```

> [!NOTE]
> If you change dependencies in `pyproject.toml`, regenerate the lock file with the following command:
>
> ```bash
> uv lock  # refresh uv.lock for reproducible installs
> ```

After activating the virtual environment, set up [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) by running:

```bash
pre-commit install
# uv run pre-commit run --all-files  # lint and fix common problems in the codebase
```

You're now ready to work on `ts-backend-check`!

> [!NOTE]
> Feel free to contact the team in the [Development room on Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/!CRgLpGeOBNwxYCtqmK:matrix.org?via=matrix.org&via=acter.global&via=chat.0x7cd.xyz) if you're having problems getting your environment setup!
