Generates Typescript definitions from Sway ABI Json files

# `@fuel-ts/abi-typegen`

Generate TypeScript bindings for [Sway](https://github.com/fuellabs/sway) smart contracts.

See the full ABI-spec [here](https://github.com/FuelLabs/fuel-specs/blob/master/src/abi/json-abi-format.md).

## Documentation

See [Fuels-ts Documentation](https://docs.fuel.network/docs/fuels-ts/fuels-cli/abi-typegen/)

## Installation

```sh
pnpm add @fuel-ts/abi-typegen
# or
npm add @fuel-ts/abi-typegen
```

## Help

```console
$ fuels-typegen -h

Generate Typescript from Sway ABI JSON files

Usage: fuels-typegen [options]

Options:
  -V, --version                output the version number
  -i, --inputs <path|glob...>  Input paths/globals to your ABI JSON files
  -o, --output <dir>           Directory path for generated files
  -c, --contract               Generate types for Contracts [default]
  -s, --script                 Generate types for Scripts
  -p, --predicate              Generate types for Predicates
  -S, --silent                 Omit output messages
  -h, --help                   display help for command
```

## Generating types

When using the package in a standalone fashion, its bin is prefixed with `fuels-`.

```sh
npx fuels-typegen -i ./out/debug/*-abi.json -o ./src/contracts
```

## Programmatic API

```ts
import { ProgramTypeEnum, runTypegen } from "@fuel-ts/abi-typegen";

  const cwd = process.cwd();
  const input = './abis/**-abi.json'
  const output = './types'
  const filepaths = [ './abis/a-abi.json', './abis/b-abi.json' ]
  const programType = ProgramTypeEnum.CONTRACT;

  // using input global
  await runTypegen({ cwd, input, output, programType });

  // using filepaths' array
  await runTypegen({ cwd, filepaths, output, programType });
}
```

### Full SDK Installation

Alternatively, we recommend you install the [complete SDK](https://github.com/FuelLabs/fuels-ts) using the umbrella package:

```sh
pnpm add fuels
# or
npm add fuels
```

Note that in this example we will interact with the `fuels` bin directly.

We just need to call it with the `typegen` command, and the rest feels the same.

```sh
npx fuels typegen -i ./out/debug/*-abi.json -o ./src/contracts
```

## Type's Conversion Table

The table below describes how Sway types are converted from/to Typescript.
