# Generate Typescript Types From JSON Schema
This step-by-step guide will help you to generate typescript types from JSON schema.

We are using [quicktype](https://quicktype.io/) to generate types from JSON Schema.

## Prerequisites

Ensure you have `quicktype` installed. If not, install it using the commands below.

## Steps to Generate TypeScript Types

### Step 1: Install Dependencies

Navigate to the `openmetadata-ui` directory and install dependencies:

```bash
cd openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui
yarn install
```
### Step 2: Stage Files

Return to the root folder, add the relevant files to the staging area, and execute the following command:

```bash
changed_files=$(git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=ACM | grep 'openmetadata-spec/src/main/resources/json/schema/')
```

This command identifies all staged files located in the `openmetadata-spec/src/main/resources/json/schema/` path and stores the file paths in the changed_files variable.

### Step 3: Generate TypeScript Types

Run the following script to generate TypeScript types for the identified JSON schema files:

```bash
./openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/json2ts.sh $changed_files
```

This script processes the staged JSON schema files and generates the corresponding TypeScript types.
