Swagger to JS & Typescript Codegen

 

We are looking for a new maintainer

This project is no longer actively maintained by its creator. Please let us know if you would like to become a maintainer.
At the time we wrote this package, the swagger didn't have generators for JavaScript nor TypeScript. Now there are great alternatives of this package available.

This package generates a nodejs, reactjs or angularjs class from a swagger specification file. The code is generated using mustache templates and is quality checked by jshint and beautified by js-beautify.

The typescript generator is based on superagent and can be used for both nodejs and the browser via browserify/webpack.

Installation

``bash
npm install swagger-js-codegen
`

Example

`javascript
var fs = require('fs');
var CodeGen = require('swagger-js-codegen').CodeGen;

var file = 'swagger/spec.json';
var swagger = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(file, 'UTF-8'));
var nodejsSourceCode = CodeGen.getNodeCode({ className: 'Test', swagger: swagger });
var angularjsSourceCode = CodeGen.getAngularCode({ className: 'Test', swagger: swagger });
var reactjsSourceCode = CodeGen.getReactCode({ className: 'Test', swagger: swagger });
var tsSourceCode = CodeGen.getTypescriptCode({ className: 'Test', swagger: swagger, imports: ['../../typings/tsd.d.ts'] });
console.log(nodejsSourceCode);
console.log(angularjsSourceCode);
console.log(reactjsSourceCode);
console.log(tsSourceCode);
`

Custom template


`javascript
var source = CodeGen.getCustomCode({
moduleName: 'Test',
className: 'Test',
swagger: swaggerSpec,
template: {
class: fs.readFileSync('my-class.mustache', 'utf-8'),
method: fs.readFileSync('my-method.mustache', 'utf-8'),
type: fs.readFileSync('my-type.mustache', 'utf-8')
}
});
`

Options

In addition to the common options listed below, getCustomCode() requires a template field:

template: { class: "...", method: "..." }

getAngularCode(), getNodeCode(), and getCustomCode() each support the following options:

`yaml
moduleName:
type: string
description: Your AngularJS module name
className:
type: string
lint:
type: boolean
description: whether or not to run jslint on the generated code
esnext:

#### Custom Mustache Variables
You can also pass in your own variables for the mustache templates by adding a mustache object:

`javascript
var source = CodeGen.getCustomCode({
...
mustache: {
foo: 'bar',
app_build_id: env.BUILD_ID,
app_version: pkg.version
}
});
`

Swagger Extensions

$3

Some proxies and application servers inject HTTP headers into the requests. Server-side code
may use these fields, but they are not required in the client API.

eg: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/go/requests#Go_Request_headers

`yaml
/locations:
get:
parameters:
- name: X-AppEngine-Country
in: header
x-proxy-header: true
type: string
description: Provided by AppEngine eg - US, AU, GB
- name: country
in: query
type: string
description: |
2 character country code.
If not specified, will default to the country provided in the X-AppEngine-Country header
...
``

Grunt task

There is a grunt task that enables you to integrate the code generation in your development pipeline. This is extremely convenient if your application is using APIs which are documented/specified in the swagger format.

Who is using it?

28.io is using this project to generate their nodejs and angularjs language bindings.
