oapi-codegen VS sqlc

what’s the difference between this and https://github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen

During daytime, and especially work time, I used a great tool to generate code from OpenAPI specification: deepmap/oapi-codegen.

Then you can use oapi-codegen or openapi-generator to generate the Go (or other language) SDK for it.

Deepmap OpenAPI code generator

Luckily, Forem/DEV is open source and provides great API documentation and specification. I used oapi-codegen to automatically generate a Go API client. Then, I simply had to walk the root articles directory and:

I'm using https://github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen to auto gen some types for my api as I want the contract to be the source of truth. However, I'm running into an issue, the same as (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77237210/how-to-generate-models-from-openapi-with-ref) where oapi-codegen isn't recognizing references to local files. Has anyone run into this and found a work around? or is there a better tool to use for this

For Go, I've found https://github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen/, and it works well.

I’m using oapi-codegen in my project and I don’t think it ships with a validator.

We're using https://github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen at work while having an OpenAPI spec. When the spec changes, backend/frontend/mobile regenerate their server/client

"Is there a way to get sqlc to use pointers for nullable columns instead of the sql.Null types?"

I came across this yesterday for golang: https://sqlc.dev which is somewhat like what you want, maybe.

Not sure it allows you to parameterize table names but the basic idea is codegen from sql queries so you are working with go code (autocompletion etc).

Agreed, but tools like https://sqlc.dev, which I mention in the article, are a good trade-off that allows you to have verified, testable, SQL in your code.

sqlc is not strictly a conventional ORM. It offers a unique approach by generating Go code from SQL queries. This allows developers to write SQL, which sqlc then converts into type-safe Go code, reducing the boilerplate significantly. It ensures that your queries are syntactically correct and type-safe. sqlc is ideal for those who prefer writing SQL and are looking for an efficient way to integrate it into a Go application.

I was browsing awesome-go for ideas on how to setup my data access layer when I stumbled on sqlc. It seemed like a great option. Code generation is a strategy often used in the Go ecosystem and making my queries safe at compile time was an idea I really liked. Knex was great, but it required of me that I test thoroughly my queries at runtime and that I sanitize my query results to ensure type safety within my application.

Now, we are going to generate the code. For this purpose, we are going to use sqlc.
