`@spec2ts/openapi` is an utility to create TypeScript types from OpenAPI v3 specification. Unlike other code generators `@spec2ts/openapi` does not use templates to generate code but uses TypeScript's built-in API to generate and pretty-print an abstract syntax tree (AST).

## Features

- **AST-based:** Unlike other code generators `@spec2ts/openapi` does not use templates to generate code but uses TypeScript's built-in API to generate and pretty-print an abstract syntax tree.
- **Tree-shakeable:** Individually exported types allows you to bundle only the ones you actually use.
- **YAML or JSON:** Use YAML or JSON for your OpenAPI v3 specification.
- **External references:** Resolves automatically external references and bundle or import them in generated files.
- **Implementation agnostic:** Use generated types in any projet or framework.

## Installation

Install in your project:

```bash
npm install @spec2ts/openapi
```

## CLI Usage

```bash
oapi2ts [options] <input..>

Generate TypeScript types from OpenAPI specification

Positionals:
  input  Path to OpenAPI Specification(s) to convert to TypeScript      [string]

Options:
  --version     Show version number                                    [boolean]
  --help        Show help usage                                        [boolean]
  --output, -o  Output directory for generated types                    [string]
  --cwd, -c     Root directory for resolving $refs                      [string]
  --avoidAny    Avoid the `any` type and use `unknown` instead         [boolean]
  --enableDate  Build `Date` for format `date` and `date-time`         [boolean]
  --banner, -b  Comment prepended to the top of each generated file     [string]
```

## Programmatic Usage

```typescript
import { printer } from "@spec2ts/core";
import { parseOpenApiFile } from "@spec2ts/openapi";

async function generateSpec(path: string): Promise<string> {
    const result = await parseOpenApiFile(path);
    return printer.printNodes(result);
}
```
