oasin
Easy type-aware mixing of APIs from TypeScript client libraries generated by openapi-generator.
Installation
[!Warning] This is an ES only package. Before installing, make sure that your project's configuration supports ECMAScript modules.
pnpm add oasin
Usage
Use mixModuleApis
when you need to access to every API client available in the library.
Actual syntax will differ based on the generator being used, as each one structures exports differently. Examples:
typescript-fetch
import { mixModuleApis } from 'oasin';
import * as PetStoreAPI from '<your-client-lib>';
export class PetStoreClient extends mixModuleApis(PetStoreAPI, PetStoreAPI.BaseAPI) {
/** ... */
}
For fine-grained control over what is being mixed, you can use combineMixins
to provide a subset of your client library's APIs:
import { combineMixins } from 'oasin';
import { PetApi, StoreApi, BaseAPI } from '<your-client-lib>';
export class PetStoreClient extends combineMixins([PetApi, StoreApi], BaseAPI) {}
typescript-axios
When clients are generated using typescript-axios
, top-level exports don't include the BaseAPI
class. It has to be imported separately:
import { mixModuleApis } from 'oasin';
import { BaseAPI } from '<your-client-lib>/base';
import * as PetStoreAPI from '<your-client-lib>';
export class PetStoreClient extends mixModuleApis(PetStoreAPI, BaseAPI) {
/** ... */
}
Limitations
Overwriting duplicate methods
When combining a list of API classes, later sources' methods overwrite earlier ones if they have the same key.
Normally, this is not an issue - just follow the spec by enforcing unique operation IDs:
Unique string used to identify the operation. The id MUST be unique among all operations described in the API. The operationId value is case-sensitive. Tools and libraries MAY use the operationId to uniquely identify an operation, therefore, it is RECOMMENDED to follow common programming naming conventions.
Singular configuration
The returned class will only support one configuration. Only API clients with an identical configuration (base URL, signing requests etc.) should be combined.
For multiple configurations, consider building a facade which exposes an entire group of independent client instances.
Static imports have to be used
Autoloading a library as a single client won't be supported in the near future. TypeScript currently lacks support for inferring dynamic import types when the import path is a parameter, even if it is typed as a string literal.
