roypeled/swagger-ts-generator

Given a swagger.json file, generates a number of TypeScript files which can be used as models and model-driven forms in Angular (2 and above)

Swagger TypeScript code generator

Node module to generate TypeScript code for Angular (2 and above) based on Webapi meta data in Swagger v2 format.

Use it in combination with the sibling package angular-swagger-form-field to implement reactive forms.

See angular-swagger-form-field-sample for a sample how to use the generated classes.

Setup

Download the moduel with npm:

npm install --save-dev swagger-ts-generator

Usage in Gulp

gulp.config

Create a gulp.config file with the settings you want:

• generateClasses (default: true) - If this flag is set to false, the generator will output only interfaces and enums. It will not output classes and validators.

'use strict';

module.exports = config();

function config() {
    var root = './src/';
    var srcAppFolder = root + 'app/';
    var folders = {
        // root
        root: root,
        // sources
        srcWebapiFolder: srcAppFolder + 'models/webapi/',
        srcLanguagesFolder: root + 'assets/i18n/',
        // swagger
        swaggerFolder: root + 'swagger/',
    }
    var files = {
        swaggerJson: 'swagger.json',
        //swaggerJson: 'swagger-zib.json',
        //swaggerJson: 'swagger-zib-v2.json',
    }

    var swagger = {
        url: 'http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json',
        //url: 'http://127.0.0.1/ZIB.WebApi.v2/swagger/docs/v1',
        swaggerFile: folders.swaggerFolder + files.swaggerJson,
        swaggerFolder: folders.swaggerFolder,
        swaggerTSGeneratorOptions: {
            modelFolder: folders.srcWebapiFolder,
            enumTSFile: folders.srcWebapiFolder + 'enums.ts',
            enumI18NHtmlFile: folders.enumI18NHtmlFolder + 'enum-i18n.component.html',
            enumLanguageFiles: [
                folders.srcLanguagesFolder + 'nl.json',
                folders.srcLanguagesFolder + 'en.json',
            ],
            generateClasses: true,
            modelModuleName: 'webapi.models',
            enumModuleName: 'webapi.enums',
            enumRef: './enums',
            namespacePrefixesToRemove: [
            ],
            typeNameSuffixesToRemove: [
            ],
            typesToFilter: [
                'ModelAndView', // Springfox artifact
                'View', // Springfox artifact
            ]
        }
    }

    var config = {
        root: root,
        files: files,
        swagger: swagger,
    }
    return config;
}

gulpfile.js

Create a gulpfile.js:

/*global __dirname */
'use strict';

var gulp = require('gulp');

var $ = require('gulp-load-plugins')({ lazy: true });
var args = require('yargs').argv;
var swaggerTSGenerator = require('swagger-ts-generator');
var request = require('request');
var source = require('vinyl-source-stream');

var config = require('./gulp.config');

//--------------- gulp tasks ---------------

gulp.task('default', ['show-help']); // Set default gulp tasks
gulp.task('show-help', $.taskListing);

gulp.task('gen', ['gen-webapi']);
gulp.task('gen-webapi', ['gen-webapi-download-swagger'], genWebapi);
gulp.task('gen-webapi-download-swagger', genWebapiDownloadSwagger);

//--------------- generator tasks ---------------

function genWebapi(done) {
    swaggerTSGenerator.generateTSFiles(config.swagger.swaggerFile, config.swagger.swaggerTSGeneratorOptions);
    done();
}
function genWebapiDownloadSwagger(done) {
    process.env['NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED'] = '0'; // Ignore 'UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE' authorization error

    return request
        .get({
            url: config.swagger.url,
            headers: {
                'User-Agent': 'request',
                'content-type': 'application/json'
            }
        })
        .pipe(customPlumber('Error gen-webapi-autorest'))
        .pipe(source(config.files.swaggerJson))
        .pipe($.streamify($.jsbeautifier(/*{ mode: 'VERIFY_AND_WRITE' }*/)))
        .pipe(gulp.dest(config.folders.swaggerFolder));
}

function customPlumber(errTitle) {
    return $.plumber({
        errorHandler: $.notify.onError({
            // Customizing error title
            title: errTitle || "Error running Gulp",
            message: "Error: <%= error.message %>",
            sound: "Glass"
        })
    });
}

function log(msg) {
    $.util.log($.util.colors.yellow(msg));
}

Execute the gulp task(s)

Download the swagger file and generate the code:

gulp gen

Generated files

validators.ts

The generated validators.ts is fixed (its always generated regardless of the Swagger). It contains some extra validators to implement validation rules for the Swagger which are not part of the standard Angular validators:

    maxValueValidator
    minValueValidator

base-model.ts

The generated base-model.ts is fixed (its always generated regardless of the Swagger). It contains the base class for all generated models. The next members can be used in your own software:

    /** 
    * use $formGroup in angular's formBuilder to make a model driven (reactive) form. 
    *   this.form = this.formBuilder.group({
    *       pet: this.pet.$formGroup,
    *   }); 
    */
    $formGroup: FormGroup;

    /** 
    * add one or more additional validators to the control
    * @param key Name of the control (is the same as the name of the attached model property) 
    * @param validators Validator(s) to add to the control 
    */
    addValidatorToControl(controlName: string, validators: ValidatorFn | ValidatorFn[]) {
        ...
    }
}

*.model.ts

For each definition in the Swagger an Interface and a Class are generated. The class contains the $FormGroup property to be used in the Angular FormBuilder to make a model driven form. The controls in the FormGroup contain the validators which implement the validation rules from the Swagger defnition.

Properties of an enum type are generated referencing this type which are generated in the next section.

This is an example of a generated TypeScript file with one model (definition) from the Swagger file:

// THIS IS GENERATED CODE. DO NOT CHANGE MANUALLY!

    constructor(values?: any) {
        super();

        return this._formGroup;

enums.ts

This is een exerpt from a generated TypeScript file with enums.

// THIS IS GENERATED CODE. DO NOT CHANGE MANUALLY!
/* tslint:disable */

// generate enum based on strings instead of numbers
// (see https://blog.rsuter.com/how-to-implement-an-enum-with-string-values-in-typescript/)
export enum type {
    cat = <any>"cat",
    dog = <any>"dog",
    bird = <any>"bird",
    whale = <any>"whale",
}

export enum gender {
    unknown = <any>"unknown",
    male = <any>"male",
    female = <any>"female",
}

export enum hairColor {
    red = <any>"red",
    blond = <any>"blond",
    brown = <any>"brown",
    black = <any>"black",
    white = <any>"white",
    gray = <any>"gray",
}

/**
* bundle of all enums for databinding to options, radio-buttons etc.
* usage in component:
*   import { AllEnums, minValueValidator, maxValueValidator } from '../../models/webapi';
*
*   @Component({
*       ... 
*   })
*   export class xxxComponent implements OnInit {
*       allEnums = AllEnums;
*       ...
*       ngOnInit() {
*           this.allEnums = AllEnums.instance;
*       }
*   }
*/
export class AllEnums {
    private static _instance: AllEnums = new AllEnums();
    constructor() {
        if (AllEnums._instance) {
            throw new Error("Error: Instantiation failed: Use AllEnums.instance instead of new");
        }
        AllEnums._instance = this;
    }
    static get instance(): AllEnums {
        return AllEnums._instance;
    }

    type = type;
    gender = gender;
    hairColor = hairColor;
}

Normally enums are numbers based in TypeScript. In out Webapi's whe use stringbased Enums. The thick with cat = <any>"cat" is used to make the TypeScript enums string based.

enum-i18n.component.html

When the I18N features of the angular-cli are used in your application, a view can be gerenarted containing a translatable entry for each enum value. This is triggered by the presence of the enumLanguageFiles property in the options in the gulp.config file.

<!--
 * This file is generated by the SwaggerTSGenerator.
 * Do not edit.
-->

<!-- ngx-translate-data for enums -->
<div class="hidden">
    <!-- Role -->
    <span i18n="type.cat|ngx-translate">Cat</span>
    <span i18n="type.dog|ngx-translate">Dog</span>
    <span i18n="type.brid|ngx-translate">Bird</span>
    <span i18n="type.whale|ngx-translate">Whale</span>
    ...
</div>

Using the xliffmerge tool, this file can be used to generate the enum language .json files for ngx-translate.

Make sure this view is part of lazy loaded Angular component (it does not have to be loaded, it will only be used by the angular-cli i18n extraction tool).

enums language files

As an alternative for the enum-i18n.component.html file from the section above, enum language files can be generated. Translation must be done by hand. Each new enum value is added to the given enumLanguageFile(s). Enum values already present are left intact.

{
  "type": "-------ENUM-TYPE-------",
  "cat": "kat",
  "dog": "hond",
  "bird": "vogel",
  "whale": "whale",
  "gender": "-------ENUM-TYPE-------",
  "unknown": "onbekend",
  "male": "man",
  "female": "vrouw",
  "hairColor": "-------ENUM-TYPE-------",
  "red": "rood",
  "blond": "blond",
  "brown": "bruin",
  "black": "zwart",
  "white": "wit",
  "gray": "grijs"
}
