Please see the following repo to reproduce the problem:

P.S.: @domoritz @YousefED typescript-json-schema is a very valuable tool! Many thanks for your efforts!

I think https://github.com/vega/ts-json-schema-generator will work for you. Can you give it a try?

Sure, I tried with the following command line:

ts-json-schema-generator --path 'src/schemas/*.ts' --expose 'export' --jsDoc 'extended'

which fails with the following error:

NoRootTypeError: No root type "undefined" found

It does work when I mention one of the types with the --type argument, but I need a single file containing all the schema definitions. Is there any way to achieve that?

I guess there isn't currently: vega/ts-json-schema-generator#117

Not yet but I'd be happy to review a PR towards that feature.

If you had to implement that feature right now, what time do you estimate would it take you?

An hour if there are no major complications. Here is the corresponding issue vega/ts-json-schema-generator#117.
