Add `models/index.ts`

Add `models/index.ts`

[jordanshatford]

@anchan828 the root index.ts should export all models and services. Are you able to import multiple models from there instead?

Whoops, just re-read your issues and see. You are only including the models. This should be do-able.

@anchan828 I have added this and released it in version 0.28.0.

@anchan828 Im curious if you can share how your repository is structured? Could you use a mono repo where the generated client is one package and other can use it as a dependency?

[jordanshatford]

NOTE: im thinking we could add models/index.ts and services/index.ts and schemas/index.ts These would export all of the models/services/schemas. Then in the root index.ts, instead of exporting each manually we export * from './models (Check if config has exporting enabled for models/service/schemas).

@jordanshatford I have two repositories.

1. There is a backend repository where I do integration testing with code generated by openai-ts.
2. There is a frontend repository where I have my own HTTP client and validation, so I don't use services or schemas, but I cast the resulting data in models types. This is completely on my side, but I can't package it, so I copy it and add the file from backend to frontend repository.

Hey @anchan828, thanks for opening an issue! A couple questions

1. Why are you using your own HTTP client and not one of the generated ones?
2. Why aren't you using one of the other OpenAPI types generators that don't come with any HTTP client if that's all you need?

Hi @mrlubos,

1. Why are you using your own HTTP client and not one of the generated ones?

Sorry, I can't explain it convincingly, but what I can say is that the frontend system already has an HTTP client, so switching to the openapi-ts's HTTP client is not an immediate option.

2. Why aren't you using one of the other OpenAPI types generators that don't come with any HTTP client if that's all you need?

This is because there is no point in going to the trouble of using two generators.
When I was using openapi-generator, it took 5 seconds, but with openapi-ts, I can now generate it in less than 100~150ms, so the speed of generation is one of the main reasons I use openapi-ts. 😀

Thanks for the additional context! Ideally, you wouldn't have to use a custom client when using this package, so if there's anything we can do to bridge that gap between our generated client and what you use, please let us know!
