swagger-petstore VS autorest

Swagger offers more than just a user-friendly interface for exploring APIs. It also provides multiple generators that can produce code typically written by hand. As an Angular developer, this blog post will focus on the typescript-angular generator.

Failed to create a client for Java. The generator imports Java's types instead of TeamCity's. There are bugs described for the Java client in both the Swagger generator and the OpenAPI generator. Let's see how the generator behaves when building a Kotlin client.

[swagger-codegen](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen) generates code from an OpenAPI definition, and it supports Rust code output (client and/or server).

Swagger contains three greats tools to work with the specification: Swagger UI, Swagger Editor and Swagger Codegen. The Swagger UI renders OpenAPI specs as interactive API documentation, Swagger Editor is a browser-based editor where you can write OpenAPI specs and Swagger Codegen generates server stubs and client libraries from an OpenAPI spec like the OpenAPI generator.

We ran into some minor issues (#1201, #1210, #1355, #1356 and #1769) and fixed some stuff we stumbled upon along the way, although it didn't really bother us as well (#1451 and #1769).

I am interested in integrating a swagger-codegen generated Python server with an existing Flask application. swagger-codegen generates a Python implementation based on the Connexion library from a Swagger API specification.

The method takes a query, String, and a completion block, (Result<[String], Error>) -> Void, which is triggered once the request finishes. Its internal implementation doesn't really matter since it could be from an external framework or generated by a code generator from the API specification.

The Java codegen options are here: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/issues/7795 (believe it or not).

Creating TS types/interfaces manually can be tedious. But, if you have JSON responses of your APIs, you can quickly convert those JSON responses to TS interfaces using VS Code extension Paste JSON as Code. Also, if your backend already uses Swagger for API, you can auto-generate all the TS types of your API models using swagger-codegen

Doesn't autorest do that? https://github.com/Azure/autorest

The autorest project uses this actually.

It works by embedding yaml code blocks into a markdown file.

It’s actually not completely awful and has proven somewhat useful to have a configuration clearly documented within the config.

https://github.com/Azure/autorest/blob/main/docs/generate/re...

The StackQL Azure provider was created using the Autorest project using Azure specification docs from the azure-rest-api-specs repository. We will be adding integrated interactive authentication; for now, this is cli/sdk based; you can find all the documentation here.

I wonder if there is a format for API -> client automation that can be good enough, in the end Stripe have a rest API, with enough description it should be possible.

Okay so after a quick google it appears Microsoft are the "Simpsons already done it" of the programming world: https://github.com/Azure/autorest/

It'd probably be a good idea to add an Elixir backend for that and point it at Stripe's API here: https://github.com/stripe/openapi

It is definitely created with AutoRest. That's both its strength and its greatest weakness. :(

Honorable mentions: AutoRest, Visual Studio Connected Services

The Microsoft.Graph.* modules are AutoRest-generated modules. They are a straight wrapper around the REST calls that you would perform with Invoke-RestMethod or Invoke-WebRequest.

You can try autorest. I haven't used NSwag but I believe the two are similar. Also it looks like Nswag has a command line tool that you could use.
