How to handle nullable reference types
Hey, really cool tool. Tried it on on set of c# code models we have to compare it to our TypeScript models.
This does reveal one issue - some types like string
could be nullable by default.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/nullable-references
An example would be the following conversion:
public class LinkViewModel {
public Href { get; set; }
public string Label { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public LinkTargetTypes? Target { get; set; }
}
export interface LinkViewModel {
href: string;
label: string;
title: string;
target?: LinkTargetTypes;
}
The problem is, these values could actually be null
, or undefined
(depending on how you ship the data).
TypeScript would not throw an error if you try to use a string
method on on any of the string
values.
Would it make sense to be able to control how reference types are handled?

Yeah I think that's a great idea. If you're up for it feel free to submit a PR for adding a setting like this.
Thanks for the suggestion!
