XrmDefinitelyTyped

XrmDefinitelyTyped generates TypeScript declaration files based on your Dynamics 365/CRM/xRM solution.

XrmDefinitelyTyped can be installed and updated via NuGet

PM> Install-Package Delegate.XrmDefinitelyTyped

What is it?

It is the TypeScript equivalent of CrmSvcUtil, but instead of generating early-bound .NET classes for server-side code, it generates TypeScript interfaces for all your client-side coding.

It generates data-specific declaration files for:

  • The Xrm object model for client-side coding of forms and custom pages
  • Global and entity-specific option sets
  • The standard SDK.REST.js API for querying CRM via OData.
  • The standard SDK.MetaData.js API for querying the metadata of CRM.
  • XrmQuery for the Web API and the old REST endpoint. XrmQuery makes it possible to perform fully type-safe queries to CRM.

All this makes it possible to catch bugs at compile-time in your IDE (instead of at runtime on the CRM instance), as well as providing full intellisense for the APIs and entities, which greatly enhances the coding experience!
