Answer 1

As of TypeScript 2.3 (or should I say 2.4, as in 2.3 this feature contains a bug which has been fixed in typescript@2.4-dev), you can create a custom transformer to achieve what you want to do.

Actually, I have already created such a custom transformer, which enables the following.

https://github.com/kimamula/ts-transformer-keys

import { keys } from 'ts-transformer-keys';

interface Props {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  age: number;
}
const keysOfProps = keys();

console.log(keysOfProps); // ['id', 'name', 'age']

Unfortunately, custom transformers are currently not so easy to use. You have to use them with the TypeScript transformation API instead of executing tsc command. There is an issue requesting a plugin support for custom transformers.
