swagger-to-interfaces v1.0.261

Swagger to Interfaces

Super lightweight typescript interface generator.

✨Generate Typescript interfaces, enums and api endpoints straight from the swagger

WHY ?!

Swagger codegen allows you to generate a whole heavyweight full-blown client. Most of us frontend developers do not use it. We want to use our regular flow and loose the hassle of duplicating the server's schema. swagger-to-interfaces is a lightweight library designed to auto generate only data which is useful.

⭐Installation

  npm install swagger-to-interfaces

⭐Usage

  swagger-to-interfaces --pathToFile=/path/to/json/swagger.json --destinationFolderName=./src/swagger2Ts

⭐Environment

♢ Arguments: Include the following args on activation:

• --destinationFolderName

• --pathToFile OR --swaggerUrl

OR

♢ .env file: create a .env file at the root directory of your project with the following variables:

• DESTINATION_FOLDER_NAME=./src/swagger2Ts

• SWAGGER_FILE_PATH=./swagger.json or SWAGGER_URL=https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json

⭐File generation

Three files will be created: 1. ♕ interfaces.ts all model definitions in Typescript interfaces.

2. ♕ endpoints.ts

   ```typescript
   [operationId: string]: {
      method: 'post' | 'get' | 'put' | 'delete';
      url?: string;
      getUrl?: (...params: any) => string};
      contentType?: string;
   }
   ```   

3. ♕ enums.ts all enum definitions.

Common flow

♙ Get the swagger json from the server.

♘ Add it to the UI project (for example: /path/to/json/swagger).

♗ Add a hook to your package.json scripts section:

"build-swagger": "swagger-to-typescript --pathToFile=/path/to/json/swagger"

♕ Add this hook to your build process:

"prebuild": "npm run build-swagger"

♔ Make sure to commit your swagger.json, so the UI build is not dependent on external resources.
