No types for generate

[mrlubos]

@Birkbjo this is fixed in v0.27.33 🎉

I added a section on programmatic setup to README – https://github.com/nicolas-chaulet/openapi-typescript-codegen?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

Here's how I use it

import { createClient } from '@nicolas-chaulet/openapi-typescript-codegen'

const client = await createClient()

You can pass config to createClient(), but it also tries to read config from a file so it's optional.

I need to do some quite specific transformations of the resulting types, like resolve refs (I see that this now includes this, but I dont think it will work for me because the schema im working doesn't directly reference the component...), and some renames etc

We can discuss this more if you want, I think there's some potential to unlock. I am now returning client from createClient() as opposed to not returning anything previously. I don't recommend using it as that's an internal API, but it's a good start as now you can have access to the same information openapi-ts has when generating your client. In theory, you could even run const client = await createClient({ write: false }) to skip writing any files and re-implement the write operation yourself!

@Birkbjo oh yes, you're correct, I changed that. Before I add the types back, can I ask why you're generating types programatically?

You're also correct on the ESM modules, are you able to share what kind of error message(s) you're seeing?

@Birkbjo I just tried it and it works for me in a foo.ts file, but I am also using "type": "module" in my package.json

import { generate } from '@nicolas-chaulet/openapi-typescript-codegen'

generate()

I executed it with npx tsx foo.ts. I will fix the missing types, thanks for flagging! Let me know more details about your execution if you need help with that too

Thanks for the quick resolution!

I started looking into migrating to txs as well, need to cleanup my tsconfig etc.

As for the use-case - I use the codegen in a wrapper tool that is used to clean the results. I need to do some quite specific transformations of the resulting types, like resolve refs (I see that this now includes this, but I dont think it will work for me because the schema im working doesn't directly reference the component...), and some renames etc. Most of this is because the schema I'm working with isn't really ideal.

I couldve of course ran this in cli, but its quite convenient to just calll generate from node when I already need a script anyways.
