Ferrotype: Rust-to-TypeScript type generation via derive macro

This crate provides traits and derive macros for generating TypeScript type definitions from Rust structs and enums using an intermediate representation for deduplication and dependency ordering.

Core Design

The core abstraction is the TS trait, modeled after serde’s Serialize. Rather than returning strings directly, it returns a TypeDef intermediate representation that can be:

• Rendered to TypeScript syntax
• Analyzed for type dependencies
• Deduplicated for cleaner output
• Extended for additional targets

Re-exports

Primitive

Primitive TypeScript types.

TypeDef
