Usage
CLI
Most people run @hey-api/openapi-ts via CLI. To do that, add a script to your package.json file which will make openapi-ts executable through script.
"scripts": {
"openapi-ts": "openapi-ts"
}The above script can be executed by running npm run openapi-ts or equivalent command in other package managers. Next, we will create a configuration file and move our options from Quick Start to it.
Node.js
You can also generate output programmatically by calling createClient() in a JavaScript/TypeScript file.
script.ts
import { createClient } from '@hey-api/openapi-ts';
createClient({
input: 'hey-api/backend', // sign up at app.heyapi.dev
output: 'src/client',
});Configuration
@hey-api/openapi-ts supports loading configuration from any file inside your project root folder supported by jiti loader. Below are the most common file formats.
openapi-ts.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from '@hey-api/openapi-ts';
export default defineConfig({
input: 'hey-api/backend', // sign up at app.heyapi.dev
output: 'src/client',
});openapi-ts.config.cjs
/** @type {import('@hey-api/openapi-ts').UserConfig} */
module.exports = {
input: 'hey-api/backend', // sign up at app.heyapi.dev
output: 'src/client',
};openapi-ts.config.mjs
/** @type {import('@hey-api/openapi-ts').UserConfig} */
export default {
input: 'hey-api/backend', // sign up at app.heyapi.dev
output: 'src/client',
};Alternatively, you can use openapi-ts.config.js and configure the export statement depending on your project setup.
Input
You must set the input so we can load your OpenAPI specification. It can be a path or URL, object containing a path or URL, or an object representing an OpenAPI specification. Hey API supports all valid OpenAPI versions and file formats.
If you use an HTTPS URL with a self-signed certificate in development, you will need to set
NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0in your environment.
Output
You must set the output so we know where to generate your files. It can be a path to the destination folder or an object containing the destination folder path and optional settings.
You should treat the output folder as a dependency. Do not directly modify its contents as your changes might be erased when you run
@hey-api/openapi-tsagain.
Parser
We parse your input before making it available to plugins. While configuring the parser is optional, it's the perfect place to modify or validate your input if needed.
Plugins
Plugins are responsible for generating artifacts from your input. By default, Hey API will generate TypeScript interfaces and SDK from your OpenAPI specification. You can add, remove, or customize any of the plugins. In fact, we highly encourage you to do so!
Client
Clients are responsible for sending the actual HTTP requests. We default to Fetch client if you're generating SDKs, but you can choose a different option from the available clients.
