HOW IT WORKS

JSON on the left. Types on the right.

The generator exposes the choices that change the output, including accounts, enums, events, interfaces, aliases, and BN handling.

  1. 01

    Paste the IDL

    Start with the JSON definition produced for the Anchor program.

  2. 02

    Set the output

    Choose interfaces or types and decide how BN values should be represented.

  3. 03

    Choose sections

    Include the accounts, enums, events, and custom types the project needs.

  4. 04

    Generate and copy

    Review the TypeScript output and move it into the codebase.

PRODUCT LEDGER

Configuration without a local setup step.

It is a focused browser utility for the point between receiving an IDL and wanting usable TypeScript definitions.

Generated types describe the supplied IDL. They do not prove that it matches an on-chain deployment.
