Generate Helm parameter types for ArgoCD/cdk8s

[shepherdjerred]

I thought I would share something I made a few weeks ago. I use cdk8s to deploy Helm charts with ArgoCD. One annoying thing is that there are no proper types for Helm parameters. This project pulls the helm chart and infer types based on the JSON schema and values.yaml file.

@shepherdjerred Your script works great! I have been looking for something like this for a while and have been using a mix of cdk8s, quicktype and ts-json-schema-generator.

None of those include comments which was tempting me to write my own but yours seems to cover that.

I noticed you started preparing to publish it to npm, looking forward to it. I currently have it copied into our repo.

Thanks!

Yeah I'll publish it one day! Very glad you found it useful!
