OpenAPI Generator Plus has its own object model for representing the API specification. Templates from other generators must be rewritten or modified. This is usually not a complicated process as the properties available to templates are well-defined by TypeScript interfaces.

OpenAPI Generator Plus uses Handlebars for templating. Handlebars builds on the functionality of the mustache templates used in swagger-codegen making templates more powerful and easier to customise. Handlebars also supports custom helpers to put more capability into templates, such as case transformations.

The handlebars-templates package includes a number of helpers that are used throughout the generator templates.
