parse definitions from Swagger

[eburi]

Added simple code to also parse the definitions found in swagger-files.

Sample template to output nothing but the definitions:

{{#definitions}}
interface {{name}} {{>type}}
{{/definitions}}

        var swaggerJson = JSON.parse(response);
        var typeTemplate = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/templates/typescript-definitions-only.mustache', 'utf-8');
        var opts = {
            swagger: swaggerJson,
            template: {
                class: typeTemplate
            }
        };
        var tsDefinitions = CodeGen.getTypescriptCode(opts);
        var defFile = fs.createWriteStream('./myDefinitions.d.ts');
        defFile.write(tsDefinitions);

The change in lib/typescript.js is for a special case I encountered with a swagger file where a parameter was defined as an array but misses the items-property describing the elements of the array. So I added this line to sanitize the input and default to a safe option instead of crashing when it tries to call 'hasOwnProperty' of undefined.

@eburi Can you provide some tests/examples?

Please merge this feature.

Thanks a lot.

@no-more @eburi Could you provide me an example on how to use this feature?

I haven't personally used it. I've just started a project and I faced this need. I think he provided some explanation on how to use this in this post #115

I am facing the same problem, my swagger spec have several type definitions, that are not generated, and as they are passed as parameters, there are compilation errors.

This pull request solves this problem (the types are generated), but there is a new minor problem. Types that are directly a string, are translated to an incorrect interface (other types are translated correctly):

interface user_id string

This causes a compilation error.

To try the code out, a template with definitions block must be specified:

{{#definitions}}
interface {{name}} {{>type}}
{{/definitions}}

I copied templates/typescript-class.mustache and put the block after the import * as request from "superagent"; (line 5). Specifying method template and type template is not required, as they will use default template. For example:

var opts = {
    swagger: swaggerJson,
    template: {
        class: typeTemplate
    }
};
var tsSourceCode = CodeGen.getTypescriptCode(opts);

With current code, the definition block is however not generated, but with pull request code, it is.
