openapi-to-effect

openapi-to-effect

Generate Effect Schema definitions from an OpenAPI document.

Features:

• All output is TypeScript code.
• Fully configurable using a spec file, including hooks to customize the output (e.g. support more formats).
• Automatic detection of recursive definitions using graph analysis. In the output, the recursive references are wrapped in Schema.suspend().
• Supports generating either one file per schema, or all schemas bundled into one file. When bundled, the schemas are sorted according to a topological sort algorithm so that schema dependencies are reflected in the output order.
• Pretty printing using prettier. Descriptions in the schema (e.g. title, description) are output as comments in the generated code. title fields are assumed to be single line comments, which are output as // comments, whereas description results in a block comment.

Limitations:

• We currently only support OpenAPI v3.1 documents.
• Only JSON is supported for the OpenAPI document format. For other formats like YAML, run it through a converter first.
• The input must be a single OpenAPI document. Cross-document references are not currently supported.
• The $allOf operator currently only supports schemas of type object. Generic intersections are not currently supported.

Usage

This package exposes an openapi-to-effect command:

npx openapi-to-effect <command> <args>

Generating Effect Schema code with the gen command

The gen command takes the path to an OpenAPI v3.1 document (in JSON format), the path to the output directory, and optionally a spec file to configure the output:

npx openapi-to-effect gen ./api.json ./output --spec=./spec.ts

Example

npx openapi-to-effect gen ./example_api.json ./output --spec=./example_spec.ts
