• Generate api via swagger scheme
• Supports OA 3.0, 2.0, JSON, yaml
• Generated api module use Fetch Api or Axios to make requests.

💎 options

--templates

This option needed for cases when you don't want to use the default swagger-typescript-api output structure You can create custom templates with extensions .ejs or .eta

Templates:

• api.ejs - (generates file) Api class module (locations: /templates/default, /templates/modular)
• data-contracts.ejs - (generates file) all types (data contracts) from swagger schema (locations: /templates/base)
• http-client.ejs - (generates file) HttpClient class module (locations: /templates/base)
• procedure-call.ejs - (subtemplate) route in Api class (locations: /templates/default, /templates/modular)
• route-docs.ejs - (generates file) documentation for route in Api class (locations: /templates/base)
• route-name.ejs - (subtemplate) route name for route in Api class (locations: /templates/base)
• route-type.ejs - (--route-types option) (subtemplate) (locations: /templates/base)
• route-types.ejs - (--route-types option) (subtemplate) (locations: /templates/base)
• data-contract-jsdoc.ejs - (subtemplate) generates JSDOC for data contract (locations: /templates/base)

How to use it:

1. copy swagger-typescript-api templates into your place in project
   • from /templates/default for single api file
   • from /templates/modular for multiple api files (with --modular option)
   • from /templates/base for base templates (templates using both in default and modular)
2. add --templates PATH_TO_YOUR_TEMPLATES option
3. modify ETA templates as you like

NOTE: Eta has special directive to render template in your Eta templates - includeFile(pathToTemplate, payload) If you want to use some default templates from this tool you can use path prefixes: @base, @default, @modular. @base - path to base templates @default - path to single api file templates @modular - path to multiple api files templates Examples: - includeFile("@base/data-contracts.ejs", { ...yourData, ...it }) - includeFile("@default/api.ejs", { ...yourData, ...it }) - includeFile("@default/procedure-call.ejs", { ...yourData, ...it }) - includeFile("@modular/api.ejs", { ...yourData, ...it }) - includeFile("@modular/procedure-call.ejs", { ...yourData, ...it }) - includeFile("@base/route-docs.ejs", { ...yourData, ...it }) - includeFile("@base/route-name.ejs", { ...yourData, ...it }) - includeFile("@base/route-type.ejs", { ...yourData, ...it }) - includeFile("@base/route-types.ejs", { ...yourData, ...it })

--module-name-index

This option should be used in cases when you have api with one global prefix like /api Example: GET:/api/fruits/getFruits POST:/api/fruits/addFruits GET:/api/vegetables/addVegetable with --module-name-index 0 Api class will have one property api When we change it to --module-name-index 1 then Api class have two properties fruits and vegetables

--module-name-first-tag

This option will group your API operations based on their first tag - mirroring how the Swagger UI groups displayed operations

extraTemplates (NodeJS option)

type (Record<string, any> & { name: string, path: string })[] This thing allow you to generate extra ts\js files based on extra templates (one extra template for one ts\js file) Example here

generate-templates command

This command allows you to generate source templates which using with option --templates

Modification internal codegen structs with NodeJS API:

You are able to modify TypeScript internal structs using for generating output with using generateApi options codeGenConstructs and primitiveTypeConstructs.

codeGenConstructs

This option has type (struct: CodeGenConstruct) => Partial<CodeGenConstruct>.

generateApi({
  // ...
  codeGenConstructs: (struct) => ({
    Keyword: {
      Number: "number",
      String: "string",
      Boolean: "boolean",
      Any: "any",
      Void: "void",
      Unknown: "unknown",
      Null: "null",
      Undefined: "undefined",
      Object: "object",
      File: "File",
      Date: "Date",
      Type: "type",
      Enum: "enum",
      Interface: "interface",
      Array: "Array",
      Record: "Record",
      Intersection: "&",
      Union: "|",
    },
    CodeGenKeyword: {
      UtilRequiredKeys: "UtilRequiredKeys",
    },
    /**
     * $A[] or Array<$A>
     */
    ArrayType: (content) => {
      if (this.anotherArrayType) {
        return `Array<${content}>`;
      }

      return `(${content})[]`;
    },
    /**
     * "$A"
     */
    StringValue: (content) => `"${content}"`,
    /**
     * $A
     */
    BooleanValue: (content) => `${content}`,
    /**
     * $A
     */
    NumberValue: (content) => `${content}`,
    /**
     * $A
     */
    NullValue: (content) => content,
    /**
     * $A1 | $A2
     */
    UnionType: (contents) => _.join(_.uniq(contents), ` | `),
    /**
     * ($A1)
     */
    ExpressionGroup: (content) => (content ? `(${content})` : ""),
    /**
     * $A1 & $A2
     */
    IntersectionType: (contents) => _.join(_.uniq(contents), ` & `),
    /**
     * Record<$A1, $A2>
     */
    RecordType: (key, value) => `Record<${key}, ${value}>`,
    /**
     * readonly $key?:$value
     */
    TypeField: ({ readonly, key, optional, value }) =>
      _.compact([
        readonly && "readonly ",
        key,
        optional && "?",
        ": ",
        value,
      ]).join(""),
    /**
     * [key: $A1]: $A2
     */
    InterfaceDynamicField: (key, value) => `[key: ${key}]: ${value}`,
    /**
     * $A1 = $A2
     */
    EnumField: (key, value) => `${key} = ${value}`,
    /**
     * $A0.key = $A0.value,
     * $A1.key = $A1.value,
     * $AN.key = $AN.value,
     */
    EnumFieldsWrapper: (contents) =>
      _.map(contents, ({ key, value }) => `  ${key} = ${value}`).join(",\n"),
    /**
     * {\n $A \n}
     */
    ObjectWrapper: (content) => `{\n${content}\n}`,
    /**
     * /** $A *\/
     */
    MultilineComment: (contents, formatFn) =>
      [
        ...(contents.length === 1
          ? [`/** ${contents[0]} */`]
          : ["/**", ...contents.map((content) => ` * ${content}`), " */"]),
      ].map((part) => `${formatFn ? formatFn(part) : part}\n`),
    /**
     * $A1<...$A2.join(,)>
     */
    TypeWithGeneric: (typeName, genericArgs) => {
      return `${typeName}${
        genericArgs.length ? `<${genericArgs.join(",")}>` : ""
      }`;
    },
  }),
});

For example, if you need to generate output Record<string, any> instead of object you can do it with using following code:

generateApi({
  // ...
  codeGenConstructs: (struct) => ({
    Keyword: {
      Object: "Record<string, any>",
    },
  }),
});

primitiveTypeConstructs

It is type mapper or translator swagger schema objects. primitiveTypeConstructs translates type/format schema fields to typescript structs. This option has type

type PrimitiveTypeStructValue =
  | string
  | ((
      schema: Record<string, any>,
      parser: import("./src/schema-parser/schema-parser").SchemaParser,
    ) => string);

type PrimitiveTypeStruct = Record<
  "integer" | "number" | "boolean" | "object" | "file" | "string" | "array",
  | string
  | ({ $default: PrimitiveTypeStructValue } & Record<
      string,
      PrimitiveTypeStructValue
    >)
>;

declare const primitiveTypeConstructs: (
  struct: PrimitiveTypeStruct,
) => Partial<PrimitiveTypeStruct>;

generateApi({
  // ...
  primitiveTypeConstructs: (struct) => ({
    integer: () => "number",
    number: () => "number",
    boolean: () => "boolean",
    object: () => "object",
    file: () => "File",
    string: {
      $default: () => "string",

      /** formats */
      binary: () => "File",
      file: () => "File",
      "date-time": () => "string",
      time: () => "string",
      date: () => "string",
      duration: () => "string",
      email: () => "string",
      "idn-email": () => "string",
      "idn-hostname": () => "string",
      ipv4: () => "string",
      ipv6: () => "string",
      uuid: () => "string",
      uri: () => "string",
      "uri-reference": () => "string",
      "uri-template": () => "string",
      "json-pointer": () => "string",
      "relative-json-pointer": () => "string",
      regex: () => "string",
    },
    array: (schema, parser) => {
      const content = parser.getInlineParseContent(schema.items);
      return parser.safeAddNullToType(schema, `(${content})[]`);
    },
  }),
});

For example, if you need to change "string"/"date-time" default output as string to Date you can do it with using following code:

generateApi({
  primitiveTypeConstructs: (struct) => ({
    string: {
      "date-time": "Date",
    },
  }),
});
