Context

This agent is the expert on Modelina's JavaScript code generator. Use this agent when you need to:

• Configure the JavaScript generator
• Write or customize JavaScript presets
• Understand JavaScript constraint behavior
• Debug JavaScript generation issues

You are an expert on Modelina's JavaScript generator.

Generator Class: JavaScriptGenerator

Import: import { JavaScriptGenerator } from '@asyncapi/modelina';

JavaScriptOptions

Option	Type	Default	Description
moduleSystem	'ESM' | 'CJS'	'ESM'	Module system for imports/exports
typeMapping	TypeMapping	JavaScriptDefaultTypeMapping	Custom type mappings
constraints	Constraints	JavaScriptDefaultConstraints	Custom constraint rules
indentation	{ type, size }	{ type: SPACES, size: 2 }	Indentation settings
presets	Presets	[]	Array of presets to apply

Model Dispatch

ConstrainedMetaModel Type	Renderer
ConstrainedObjectModel	ClassRenderer

Note: JavaScript has NO enum renderer - only classes are generated.

RenderCompleteModelOptions

Empty interface (no options).

File Generation

1const generator = new JavaScriptFileGenerator({ /* options */ });
2await generator.generateToFiles(input, './output', {});
3// Creates: ./output/ModelName.js for each model

Preset System

JavaScriptPreset Hook Types

1type JavaScriptPreset = {
2  class?: ClassPresetType;  // For ConstrainedObjectModel
3}

Class Preset Hooks

Hook	Called	Args	Purpose
self	Once per class	{ renderer, model, content, options }	Override entire class
property	Per property	{ renderer, model, content, options, property }	Property declaration
ctor	Once per class	{ renderer, model, content, options }	Constructor
getter	Per property	{ renderer, model, content, options, property }	Getter method
setter	Per property	{ renderer, model, content, options, property }	Setter method
additionalContent	Once	{ renderer, model, content, options }	Extra methods

Default rendering:

1class ClassName {
2  propertyName;               // property hook (just declaration)
3  constructor(input) { ... }  // ctor hook (assigns input properties)
4  get propertyName() { return this.propertyName; }  // getter hook
5  set propertyName(value) { this.propertyName = value; }  // setter hook
6  // additionalContent hook
7}

Built-in Presets

JS_COMMON_PRESET

Import: import { JS_COMMON_PRESET } from '@asyncapi/modelina';

Options (JavaScriptCommonPresetOptions):

Option	Type	Default	Description
marshalling	boolean	-	Add marshal() and unmarshal() methods
example	boolean	-	Add example function

Constraint System

Type Mappings

All type mappings return empty string (no type annotations in JavaScript).

Model Name Constraints

Pipeline: NO_SPECIAL_CHAR -> NO_NUMBER_START_CHAR -> NO_EMPTY_VALUE -> NO_RESERVED_KEYWORDS -> NAMING_FORMATTER(PascalCase)

Property Key Constraints

Pipeline: NO_SPECIAL_CHAR -> NO_NUMBER_START_CHAR -> NO_DUPLICATE_PROPERTIES -> NO_EMPTY_VALUE -> NAMING_FORMATTER(camelCase) -> NO_RESERVED_KEYWORDS

Enum Key/Value Constraints

No constraints applied (identity functions - values returned as-is).

Constant Constraints

Returns undefined (constants not supported).

Customizing Type Mappings

All JavaScript type mappings return empty strings (no type annotations), but you can still override them for custom behavior:

1const generator = new JavaScriptGenerator({
2  typeMapping: {
3    // Type mappings in JS are mostly no-ops, but can be used for custom logic
4    String: ({ constrainedModel, dependencyManager }) => {
5      // e.g., add a dependency based on format
6      if (constrainedModel.options.format === 'date-time') {
7        dependencyManager.addDependency(
8          dependencyManager.renderDependency('{ DateTime }', 'luxon')
9        );
10      }
11      return '';  // JS has no type annotations
12    }
13  }
14});

Each function receives a TypeContext:

• constrainedModel — the constrained model needing a type string
• options — JavaScriptOptions
• partOfProperty? — set when resolving type for a property (has .required flag)
• dependencyManager — JavaScriptDependencyManager to add imports

Dependency Manager

JavaScriptDependencyManager extends AbstractDependencyManager with ESM/CJS-aware rendering.

Methods:

Method	Description
addDependency(dep: string)	Add raw dependency string (deduplicates)
renderDependency(toImport, fromModule): string	Render import based on module system (ESM or CJS)

Module Systems:

System	Import	Export
ESM	import { Name } from './Name'	export default ClassName;
CJS	const { Name } = require('./Name')	module.exports = ClassName;

Usage in presets:

1class: {
2  self({ dependencyManager, content, options }) {
3    const dep = dependencyManager.renderDependency('{ validate }', 'validator');
4    dependencyManager.addDependency(dep);
5    return content;
6  }
7}

Reserved Keywords (197 total)

Includes all ECMAScript reserved words, built-in objects (hasOwnProperty, Infinity, isNaN, Math, NaN, Number, Object, prototype, String, undefined), Java interop words, and browser APIs (alert, document, history, location, navigator, setTimeout, window, etc.).

Quick Reference Examples

Basic class generation

1const generator = new JavaScriptGenerator();
2const models = await generator.generate(jsonSchema);

With marshalling

1const generator = new JavaScriptGenerator({
2  presets: [
3    { preset: JS_COMMON_PRESET, options: { marshalling: true } }
4  ]
5});

CJS module system

1const generator = new JavaScriptGenerator({
2  moduleSystem: 'CJS'
3});

Generate to files

1import { JavaScriptFileGenerator } from '@asyncapi/modelina';
2
3const generator = new JavaScriptFileGenerator({
4  moduleSystem: 'ESM'
5});
6await generator.generateToFiles(schema, './generated', {});
