OAPI Client

This is a CLI for auto-generating an API library for a given OpenAPI spec which uses JSON primarily and conforms to Revolt's API style.

Thank you to bree for helping me figure out all the especially difficult types.

Goals

- Commit programming atrocities internally.
- Pretend everything is fine externally.
- Provide a simple strongly typed API experience to the user.

Example

Here's what you can achieve with this library:

``typescript
import { API } from "your-api";

let id = "user_id";

// By default, we use the first server specified in the API spec.
new API()
// Path parameters are specified using template strings.
.get(/users/${id})
.then((user) => {
// User is still fully typed!
return user.username;
})
.then(console.log);
`

Conflict resolution is also automatic, so conflicting prefixes will not cause issues:

`typescript
import { API } from "your-api";

// For a route /some/{string}:
new API().get("/some/this is an example").then((x) => {
x; // number
});

// For a route /some/{string}/conflicting:
new API().get("/some/this is an example/conflicting").then((x) => {
x; // string
});
`

You can also provide your query and body parameters at the same time:

`typescript
import { API } from "your-api";

// PATCH /users/@me?preserve=true
// Body: { username: string }
new API().patch(/users/@me, {
// Specify query parameters
preserve: true,
// Or body parameters
username: "something",
});
`

This removes the overhead of having to remember exactly what goes where and provides a much nicer (and still strongly typed) API experience.

Currently this only supports rauth and Revolt authentication, but you can still provide your own Axios config or add your own authentication.

`typescript
new API({
baseURL: "https://example.com",
authentication: {
rauth: "session token",
},
});
`

Setup Guide

Create a new project and configure it:

`sh
yarn init
yarn add @insertish/oapi axios lodash.defaultsdeep
yarn add --dev typescript openapi-typescript @types/lodash.defaultsdeep
`

Place your OpenAPI specification at the root of your API library at OpenAPI.json.

Update your package.json to include the following:

`json
{
[...],
"scripts": {
"build": "oapilib && tsc"
}
}
`

Note: you may want to use STRICT=1 opailib, see "Strict Mode" below.

Setup Typescript:

`sh
yarn exec tsc -- --init
`

Change tsconfig.json to include:

`json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"outDir": "./dist",
"rootDir": "./src",
"declaration": true
}
}
`

Create a new src directory.

Now generate the library: (src folder will be overwritten!)

`sh
yarn build
`

Replace anyOf with oneOf

If your spec uses anyOf, the values are mapped as an intersection while you may actually want all of these values to be treated as if they were oneOf, or otherwise a union.

You can specify the environment variable REWRITE_ANYOF to any truthy value.

`sh
REWRITE_ANYOF=1 oapilib
