Generators

Generators analyze your TailorDB types, Resolvers, and Executors to automatically generate TypeScript code.

Overview

When you run tailor-sdk generate, the SDK:

1. Loads all TailorDB types, Resolvers, and Executors from your configuration
2. Passes each definition to the configured generators
3. Aggregates the results and writes output files

This enables generators to create derived code based on your application's schema. For example, the @tailor-platform/kysely-type generator produces type-safe database access code from your TailorDB definitions.

Configuration

Define generators in tailor.config.ts using defineGenerators():

import { defineConfig, defineGenerators } from "@tailor-platform/sdk";

export const generators = defineGenerators(
  ["@tailor-platform/kysely-type", { distPath: "./generated/tailordb.ts" }],
  ["@tailor-platform/enum-constants", { distPath: "./generated/enums.ts" }],
);

export default defineConfig({
  name: "my-app",
  // ...
});

Important: The generators export must be a named export (not default).

CLI Commands

Generate Files

tailor-sdk generate

Generates all configured output files.

Watch Mode

tailor-sdk generate --watch

Watches for file changes and regenerates automatically.
