Yes! We have comprehensive integration tests that run in the browser to ensure the generated code only uses browser-compatible APIs. Also, the generated code never uses reflection or dynamic code evaluation, so it works in Content Security Policy-restricted environments.

See this section of the README for more info: https://github.com/stepchowfun/typical#javascript-and-typesc...

It's nice that generated code works in browser but I was curious whether it's possible to actually generate code from .t syntax all in browser.

By the looks of it typical is only a CLI tool, so I guess not for now. Maybe unless it is ported to WASM...

A wasm port doesn't seem too farfetched. What's the use case for running the code generator in the browser?

Something that could involve giving the end user some control over schema...
