name	typescript-wsdl-client
description	Use when working in a consumer project that depends on @techspokes/typescript-wsdl-client to generate typed SOAP clients, OpenAPI specs, Fastify gateways, apps, tests, or catalogs from WSDL or catalog inputs.

TypeScript WSDL Client

Use this skill in a consumer project that depends on @techspokes/typescript-wsdl-client.

Default Workflow

Confirm the consumer project uses Node.js 24 or newer.
Install @techspokes/typescript-wsdl-client as a development dependency.
Install soap as a runtime dependency.
Prefer npx wsdl-tsc pipeline for full SOAP-to-REST adoption.
Use client, openapi, gateway, app, or compile only when the task needs that narrower stage.
Regenerate generated output from the WSDL source or catalog.json instead of editing generated files by hand.
Validate generated output with the consumer project's TypeScript build and tests.

Dependency Commands

npm install --save-dev @techspokes/typescript-wsdl-client
npm install soap

Generated Output Rule

Treat generated client/, gateway/, and app/ output as replaceable artifacts. Make persistent changes in WSDL inputs, configuration files, wrapper code, middleware, tests, or generator options.

Reference Loading

Load references/architecture.md first when choosing how WSDL input, catalog files, clients, OpenAPI specs, gateways, apps, and tests relate to each other.

Load references/consumer-workflows.md first when deciding which command sequence to run for a consumer task.

Load fluid references only when details are needed:

references/cli-reference.md for command flags, defaults, examples, and catalog path behavior.
references/generated-code.md for generated TypeScript, operation calls, stream calls, choice unions, and gateway integration details.
references/testing.md for mock clients, generated tests, and consumer test setup.
references/troubleshooting.md for installation, TypeScript, catalog, and streaming diagnostics.
references/streaming.md for stream configuration and NDJSON or JSON array behavior.
