A powerful CLI tool to generate TypeScript API client code from OpenAPI/Swagger specifications, built on top of openapi-generator-cli.

• 🚀 Fast generation: Uses openapi-generator-cli under the hood for reliable and efficient code generation
• 📦 TypeScript first: Generates fully typed TypeScript API clients
• 🎨 Custom templates: Supports custom Mustache templates for API and model generation
• 📝 OpenAPI/Swagger support: Works with both OpenAPI 2.0 (Swagger) and OpenAPI 3.0 specifications
• 🔧 Easy to use: Simple CLI interface for quick generation

npm install -g openapi-generator-client

npm install --save-dev openapi-generator-client

openapi-generator-client <directory-path>

# Process OpenAPI in the current directory
openapi-generator-client .

# Process OpenAPI in a specific directory
openapi-generator-client ./src/api

openapi-generator-client --help

The tool expects the following structure in the target directory:

<target-directory>/
├── swagger.json        # Your OpenAPI/Swagger specification file
└── openapiconfig.json  # Configuration file for the generator

{
  "swagger": {
    "url": "./swagger.json",
    "originalPath": "__swagger-download.json",
    "processedPath": "__swagger-processed.json"
  },
  "filter": {
    "includePaths": [],
    "extractCodeResult": true,
    "codeFieldName": "code",
    "messageFieldName": "message",
    "dataFieldName": "data"

The tool includes custom Mustache templates in the templates/ directory. You can modify these templates to customize the generated code:

• apiInner.mustache: Template for API endpoint methods
• baseApi.mustache: Template for the base API class
• model.mustache: Template for data models

You can specify a custom template directory in your openapiconfig.json:

{
  "templateDir": "./your-custom-templates"
}

• Node.js 14.x or higher
• npm or yarn
• Docker (required by openapi-generator-cli)
