Regex c# property to typescript field

Question

I would like to create a regex that replaces c# properties in typescript fields:

public int ItemOfferId { get; set; } would become itemOffer: int;

I'm stuck in the first step: I just want to remove the prefix public int and the suffix { get; set; } in a single regex. Expected : ItemOfferId

For the moment I have (public ([a-z]+) (?=([A-Za-z]+))\w+ { get; set; }) which is giving me ItemOfferId in group3 but I wonder how to ignore it, like creating a hole?

Do you want to create typescript interfaces/classes based on C# classes ? Because there are better ways to do that... — Titian Cernicova-Dragomir

Based on the bare minimum of what you're asking using regex, I would use this instead: public\s*(\w+)\s*(\w+)\s*\{\s*get;\s*set;\s*\} with the following substitution: $2: $1;. This does exactly what you're asking of regex, but I would definitely agree with @TitianCernicova-Dragomir that there is probably a better way to go about this. — ctwheels

Why not to use Reflections? You can do it in post-build script. — fdafadf

@TitianCernicova-Dragomir Yes that's what I want. I have models in backend fetching by frontEnd and I want to have the same object definition... What would be a better way? — J-R Choiniere

If you want to generate typescript interfaces based on your C# types I would recommend TypeLite. I use in my current project with good results. It uses T4 templates which you can customize to generate Typescript definitions, I found it sufficiently customizable and very useful.

First, I would like to point out that maybe regexing code into code is a bad idea but you can do it like this:

Replace

[public|private|internal]{0,}\s+(\w+)\s+(\w+)\s{0,}\{\s{0,}get\s{0,};\s{0,}set\s{0,};\s{0,}\}

with

$2: $1

I just want to do CTRL-H (replace) in visual studio code using a regex expression to go faster. Thanks for the link :)
