OpenAPI Forge - TypeScript

This repository is the TypeScript generator for the OpenAPI Forge, see that repository for usage instructions:

https://github.com/ScottLogic/openapi-forge

The client API it generates is suitable for running in the browser (after being bundled appropriately), or via node. The generated code uses the Fetch API, and as a result you'll need to use node v18 or greater.

Example

You should consult the OpenAPI Forge repository for a complete user guide. The following is a very brief example that quickly gets you up-and-running with this generator.

Run the forge command to generate a client API using this generator as follows:

$ openapi-forge forge \
                https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json \
                openapi-forge-typescript \
                -o api

This will generate various files in the api folder.

Running with node (>= v18)

Add the following index.ts in the api folder:

import ApiPet from "./apiPet";
import Configuration from "./configuration";
import transport from "./fetch";

// create API client
const config = new Configuration(transport);
config.basePath = "https://petstore3.swagger.io";
const api = new ApiPet(config);

// use it!
(async () => {
  await api.addPet({
    id: 1,
    name: "Fido",
    photoUrls: [],
  });

  const pet = await api.getPetById(1);
  console.log(pet.data.name);
})();

To test the API, this example adds a Pet named “Fido” to the Pet Store, then retrieves it via its id, logging the name. You can run the example as follows:

% npx ts-node index.ts
Fido

Running in the browser

The first step is to transpile from TypeScript to JavaScript:

% tsc

Following this, bundle the files into a single script. There are various tools that can be used for this purpose, but browserify is one of the simplest:

% npx browserify index.js -o bundle.js

Next create a simple HTML file that loads this script:

<html>
<script src="bundle.js"></script>
</html>

Load the above page in a browser and you should see Fido logged to the console.

Development

The OpenAPI Forge project details the process for creating a new generator. The documentation gives a few generator-specific instructions.

Running

To run this generator, you also need to have [OpenAPI Forge] installed, or the repository checked out. Assuming you have it installed as a global module, you can run this generator as follows:

$ openapi-forge forge \
                https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json \
                . \
                -o api \

This generates an API from the Pet Store swagger definition, using the generator within the current folder (.), outputting the results to the api folder.

Testing

The standard test script is used to execute the BDD-style tests against this generator.

npm run test

The script expects that the openapi-forge project (which is where the BDD feature files are located) is checked out at the same folder-level as this project.

Linting

Two scripts are available to help you find linting errors:

npm run lint:check:all

This runs eslint in check mode which will raise errors found but not try and fix them. This is also ran on a PR and a push to main. It will fail if any errors were found.

npm run lint:write:all

This runs eslint in write mode which will raise errors found and try to fix them.
