  Like generating pydantic models or dataclasses for an OpenAPI schema? I haven't needed to go in that direction myself, but this[0] looks promising!

  Apologies if I've misunderstood your comment

  I'm sorry, but you have completely misunderstood the purpose of Open API.

  It is not a specification to define your business logic classes and objects -- either client or server side. Its goal is to define the interface of an API, and to provide a single source of truth that requests and responses can be validated against. It contains everything you need to know to make requests to an API; code generation is nice to have (and I use it myself, but mainly on the server side, for routing and validation), but not something required or expected from OpenAPI

  For what it's worth, my personal preferred workflow to build an API is as follows:

  1. Build the OpenAPI spec first. A smaller spec could easily be done by hand, but I prefer using a design tool like Stoplight [0]; it has the best Web-based OpenAPI (and JSON Schema) editor I have encountered, and integrates with git nearly flawlessly.

  2. Use an automated tool to generate the API code implementation. Again, a static generation tool such as datamodel-code-generator [1] (which generates Pydantic models) would suffice, but for Python I prefer the dynamic request routing and validation provided by pyapi-server [2].

  3. Finally, I use automated testing tools such as schemathesis [3] to test the implementation against the specification.

  To save you some work, if you have already an OpenAPI specification at hand, you can use datamodel-code-generator to generate your Pydantic models from the spec.

• This is what I pushed today, I don't know why but I was very positive about the code until someone reviewed it and pointed out the obvious. Also 'internal_data' field is very essential for other parts of the code. It is so embarrassing I want to disappear from the face of the earth.

  And there are code generators for it! https://github.com/koxudaxi/datamodel-code-generator/
