Generate Gleam clients from Open API Specs.

• 🦄 Generates Gleam HTTP client code from OpenAPI 3.0+ specs
• 🔒 Produces typesafe function signatures and records
• 🧩 Compatible with gleam/httpc or gleam/fetch for use on front end or backend.
• 💾 Parses JSON responses into Gleam types

Doesn't support all uses of datatype composition for example AnyOf and OneOf.

For server side generation see this note

Install as a dev dependency.

gleam add --dev oas_generator@1

Add the utils dependency (not a dev dependency).

gleam add oas_generator_utils@1

Fetch the JSON version of your API specification.

An example for a petstore is available here

Create a module that will call the build function.

Adding the module to the test dir means it is not added to the published library. Support for a dev directory is coming later https://discord.com/channels/768594524158427167/1047099923897794590/threads/1365928769956610090

// test/petstore/dev
import gleam/io
import oas/generator
import snag

pub fn main() {
  case generator.build("./priv/petstore.openapi.json", ".", "petstore") {
    Ok(_) -> Nil
    Error(reason) -> io.print(snag.pretty_print(reason))
  }
}

Run the generator.

gleam run -m petstore/dev

Add functions to build your base request.

OAS Generator does not support authentication yet, you will need to add this yourself.

To handle this the generated code leaves the following as hooks to implement in the <project>.gleam file. The required functions are handle_errors and base_request. To see an example of these check out the netlify implementation here

Code above the // GENERATED ------------- line will be left alone.

OAS Generator uses Midas to compose request and response functions.

If you do not want to use Midas you can delete the top project file and use the functions in operations.gleam directly. Running with midas requires you to use a runner. Runners are available for node and the browser. It is also faily easy to write your own runner, if you wish to only handle the fetch effect

gleam test  # Run the tests

Created for Spotless, a code first integration platform.

Because the decoder requires a zero value, decoding of a never valid has to panic.

I see no reason why server generation could not be added but it's not on my agenda to build a server side generator.
