Usage

Basic Usage

from openapi_ts_client import generate_typescript_client, ClientFormat

# Load your OpenAPI specification (3.x example)
spec = {
    "openapi": "3.0.0",
    "info": {
        "title": "My API",
        "version": "1.0.0"
    },
    "paths": {
        "/users": {
            "get": {
                "summary": "Get all users",
                "responses": {
                    "200": {
                        "description": "Success"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

# Generate TypeScript client with default settings (Fetch API, current directory)
result = generate_typescript_client(spec)
print(result)

OpenAPI 2.0 (Swagger) Example

from openapi_ts_client import generate_typescript_client

# OpenAPI 2.0 specs use "swagger" instead of "openapi"
spec = {
    "swagger": "2.0",
    "info": {
        "title": "My API",
        "version": "1.0.0"
    },
    "paths": {}
}

result = generate_typescript_client(spec)

Using JSON String Input

from openapi_ts_client import generate_typescript_client

# Load spec from a JSON file
with open("openapi.json", "r") as f:
    json_string = f.read()

result = generate_typescript_client(json_string)

Custom Output Format

The package supports three output formats:

• ClientFormat.FETCH (default) - Native Fetch API client
• ClientFormat.REACT - React-optimized client with hooks
• ClientFormat.ANGULAR - Angular-optimized client with services

from openapi_ts_client import generate_typescript_client, ClientFormat

# Generate a React client
result = generate_typescript_client(
    spec,
    output_format=ClientFormat.REACT
)

# Generate an Angular client
result = generate_typescript_client(
    spec,
    output_format=ClientFormat.ANGULAR
)

Custom Output Path

from openapi_ts_client import generate_typescript_client

# Output to a specific directory
result = generate_typescript_client(
    spec,
    output_path="./generated/api-client"
)

Full Example

from openapi_ts_client import generate_typescript_client, ClientFormat

# Load your OpenAPI spec
with open("api-spec.json", "r") as f:
    spec = f.read()

# Generate a React client in a specific directory
result = generate_typescript_client(
    openapi_spec=spec,
    output_format=ClientFormat.REACT,
    output_path="./src/api"
)

print(result)

API Reference

generate_typescript_client(openapi_spec, output_format=ClientFormat.FETCH, output_path=".")
