xrm-generate-ts-overloads

Automatically creates TypeScript type definitions compatible with @types/xrm by extracting form attributes and controls from Dynamics 365/Power Platform model-driven applications.

You can find the source code repository here: xrm-generate-ts-overloads

Prerequisites

• A userscript manager such as Tampermonkey (Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera Next, and Firefox) or Greasemonkey (Firefox)

Usage

1. Download and install the user script.
2. Load any Dynamics 365 or Model-driven application form.
3. Click on the blue Generate TypeScript Definitions button in the bottom right corner.
4. Create a d.ts file in your project folder.
