ChainGraph Code Generator - Checkpoint

Date: 2025-10-15 Status: ✅ Phase 2 Complete - Production ReadyTests: 36/36 passing Build: ✅ Success

---

🎯 Completed Phases

✅ Phase 1: Foundation (Complete)

Implemented:

• TypeScript AST parsing with ts-morph
• Type discovery and dependency tracking
• Basic type mapping (primitives, arrays, enums, objects)
• JSDoc extraction
• Enum title formatting
• Type-safe wrapper architecture
• Test coverage (30 tests)

✅ Phase 2: Multi-Schema Generation (Complete)

Implemented:

• Separate @ObjectSchema classes for each nested type
• Schema references: @PortObject({ schema: TypeName })
• Array references: @PortArray({ itemConfig: { schema: TypeName } })
• Full type preservation: SafetySetting[] not Record<string, any>[]
• Topological sorting for dependency-ordered output
• Self-reference handling (recursive types)
• Built-in type filtering (AbortSignal, Date, etc.)
• Integration tests (6 new tests, 36 total)

Key Achievements:

• Generates 62 separate schemas from GenerateContentConfig
• 2,435 lines of type-safe code
• Zero forward reference errors
• Handles cyclic dependencies elegantly

📊 Current Capabilities

What the Generator Does

Input: TypeScript interface from external SDK

// From @google/genai
interface GenerateContentConfig {
  httpOptions?: HttpOptions
  safetySettings?: SafetySetting[]
  temperature?: number
}

Output: Complete ChainGraph schemas

import { ObjectSchema, PortObject, PortArray, PortNumber } from '@badaitech/chaingraph-types'

@ObjectSchema({ type: 'HttpOptions' })
export class HttpOptions { /* ... */ }

@ObjectSchema({ type: 'SafetySetting' })
export class SafetySetting { /* ... */ }

@ObjectSchema({ type: 'GenerateContentConfig' })
export class GenerateContentConfig {
  @PortObject({ schema: HttpOptions })
  httpOptions?: HttpOptions

  @PortArray({ itemConfig: { type: 'object', schema: SafetySetting } })
  safetySettings?: SafetySetting[]

  @PortNumber({ title: 'Temperature' })
  temperature?: number
}

Statistics

From Gemini SDK's GenerateContentConfig:

• Discovers: 62 types
• Generates: 2,435 lines
• Time: ~10 seconds
• Manual equivalent: ~20 hours of work

🏗️ Architecture Highlights

Type-Safe Design

// Proper wrapper pattern (no field duplication)
interface PortConfigWithMetadata {
  config: IPortConfig          // Actual ChainGraph configuration
  metadata: GenerationMetadata  // Code generation hints
}

interface GenerationMetadata {
  typeRef?: string       // Reference to type name (e.g., 'HttpOptions')
  enumRef?: string       // Reference to enum name
  itemMetadata?: GenerationMetadata  // For arrays
}

Smart Dependency Resolution

• TypeDependencyCollector: BFS traversal discovering all nested types
• SchemaRegistry: Topological sort with cycle detection
• Handles:
  • Deep hierarchies (configurable maxDepth)
  • Circular references (Schema.items → Schema)
  • Missing dependencies (filtered out)

Edge Case Handling

1. Self-References

// Schema references itself - use mutable object
@PortObject({
  schema: { properties: {} },
  isSchemaMutable: true,
})
items?: Schema

2. Built-in Types

// AbortSignal, Date, etc. are filtered out
// Won't generate: @PortObject({ schema: AbortSignal })

3. Empty Schemas

// Explicit empty properties
@PortObject({
  schema: { properties: {} },
  isSchemaMutable: true,
})
headers?: Record<string, any>

🚀 How to Use

Basic Generation

# Generate with multi-schema support (default)
chaingraph-codegen generate \
  --library @google/genai \
  --type GenerateContentConfig \
  --output ./generated.ts

# Result: 62 schemas, fully typed, ready to use

Advanced Options

# Exclude fields
--exclude httpOptions abortSignal

# Custom mode
--mode config  # Plain config objects instead of classes

# Watch mode
--watch  # Regenerate on changes

🔍 Key Insights

1. Type Discovery

• Discovers 62 types from single root type
• Maximum depth: 10 levels (configurable)
• Filters built-in types automatically

2. Dependency Ordering

• Uses Kahn's algorithm for topological sort
• Handles circular dependencies gracefully
• Dependencies always generated before dependents

3. Self-References

• Schema.items references Schema (self)
• Solution: Use isSchemaMutable without schema reference
• No forward reference errors

4. Complex Unions

• Content | string | Part[] → maps to @PortAny
• Correct behavior (no single decorator can represent this)
• Future: Custom type mappers for specific patterns

📈 Impact

Time Savings

• Manual: 20+ hours for 62 schemas
• With generator: 10 seconds
• Improvement: ~7,200x faster

Code Quality

• Manual: Typos, missing fields, outdated docs
• Generated: Perfect accuracy, complete, up-to-date
• Maintenance: One command to regenerate
