title: ppx_typerep_conv parent: ../README.md

Automatic generation of runtime types from type definitions.

This syntax extension defines the type-conv generator [@@deriving typerep], which creates a (runtime) value (called typerep_of_$typename) representing the type definition (see typerep for more information). It is intended to be the main creator of values of type Typerep.t.

This generator supports mostly core types, not all fancy types like union of polymorphic variants.
