Using the OpenAPI Generator

Basic Usage​

import typr.openapi.codegen._

val spec = OpenApiParser.parse(Paths.get("api.yaml"))

val options = OpenApiCodegenOptions(
  pkg = "com.example.api",
  lang = LangJava,
  serverFramework = Some(ServerFramework.JaxRs),
  clientFramework = Some(ClientFramework.JdkHttpClient)
)

val files = ApiCodegen.generate(spec, options)

files.foreach { file =>
  Files.write(file.path, file.content.getBytes)
}

Configuration Options​

Language Selection​

// Java
lang = LangJava

// Kotlin
lang = LangKotlin

// Scala
lang = LangScala(scalaVersion = "3")

Server Frameworks​

// JAX-RS (Java/Kotlin)
serverFramework = Some(ServerFramework.JaxRs)

// Spring Boot (Java/Kotlin/Scala)
serverFramework = Some(ServerFramework.Spring)

// Quarkus Reactive (Java/Kotlin) - uses Mutiny Uni<T>
serverFramework = Some(ServerFramework.QuarkusReactive)

// Http4s (Scala) - uses Cats Effect IO
serverFramework = Some(ServerFramework.Http4s)

Client Frameworks​

// JDK HttpClient (all languages)
clientFramework = Some(ClientFramework.JdkHttpClient)

// Http4s Client (Scala only)
clientFramework = Some(ClientFramework.Http4s)

Integration with Build Tools​

SBT (Scala)​

lazy val generateApi = taskKey[Seq[File]]("Generate API code")

generateApi := {
  val spec = OpenApiParser.parse(baseDirectory.value / "api.yaml")
  val options = OpenApiCodegenOptions(...)
  ApiCodegen.generate(spec, options).map { file =>
    val target = (Compile / sourceManaged).value / file.relativePath
    IO.write(target, file.content)
    target
  }
}

Compile / sourceGenerators += generateApi

Gradle (Kotlin/Java)​

tasks.register("generateApi") {
    doLast {
        // Call Typr generator via CLI or embedded
    }
}

tasks.named("compileKotlin") {
    dependsOn("generateApi")
}
