OpenAPI Node.js
Code Generator

Use your API OpenAPI 3.x/Swagger 2 definition to generate Node.js ES7-compliant code for your API.

The generated code features:

• ES7
• ESLint
• YAML config file
• Express
• No transpiling

Install

To use it from the CLI:

npm install -g swagger-node-codegen

To use it as a module in your project:

npm install --save swagger-node-codegen

Requirements

• Node.js v7.6+

Usage

From the command-line interface (CLI)

 Usage: snc [options] <swaggerFile>
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-o, --output <outputDir> directory where to put the generated files (defaults to current directory)
-t, --templates <templateDir> directory where templates are located (defaults to internal nodejs templates)
-h, --help output usage information

Examples

The shortest possible syntax:

snc swagger.yaml

Specify where to put the generated code:

snc swagger.yaml -o ./my-api

As a module in your project

constpath=require('path');constcodegen=require('swagger-node-codegen');constswagger=require('./swagger.json');codegen.generate({
swagger,target_dir: path.resolve(__dirname,'./my-api')}).then(()=>{console.log('Done!');}).catch(err=>{console.error(`Something went wrong: ${err.message}`);});

The swagger parameter can be either JSON or a path pointing to a JSON or YAML file.

constpath=require('path');constcodegen=require('swagger-node-codegen');codegen.generate({swagger: path.resolve(__dirname,'./swagger.yml'),target_dir: path.resolve(__dirname,'./my-api')}).then(()=>{console.log('Done!');}).catch(err=>{console.error(`Something went wrong: ${err.message}`);});

Using async/await

The function codegen.generate returns a Promise, so it means you can use async/await:

constpath=require('path');constcodegen=require('swagger-node-codegen');try{awaitcodegen.generate({swagger: path.resolve(__dirname,'./swagger.yml'),target_dir: path.resolve(__dirname,'./my-api')});console.log('Done!');}catch(err){console.error(`Something went wrong: ${err.message}`);}
