11/15/2022, 6:35 PMUsing my home-grown Kotlin Schema Generator, I’ve undertaken a canonical set of kotlinx.serializable schemas for Mastodon.
I’ve gotten to a place where I’m extremely happy with the Typescript schemas (which I transcribed from the web docs), and the Kotlin schemas! I have not yet tested them at runtime (I’m sure there are errors), but I suspect folks will find the outputs interesting (and hopefully useful, if your company has a typescript backend).
Here are a couple examples.

11/16/2022, 1:23 AMIt would be to automatically generated K/JS externals, there's a feature like that by default in Gradle K/JS but it often don't work, is very limited and doesn't work on new features (from around TS 4.3 to now)
And for multiple packages I had to generate the typings entirely by hand (and it takes a lot of time to do this)
