This is the swagger codegen project, which allows generation of client libraries automatically from a Swagger-compliant server.
Check out Swagger-Spec for additional information about the Swagger project, including additional libraries with support for other languages and more.
git clone https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen
cd swagger-codegen
./run-in-docker.sh mvn package
Build a nodejs server stub:
./run-in-docker.sh generate \
-i http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
-l nodejs \
-o samples/server/petstore/nodejs
The Swagger Specification has undergone 3 revisions since initial creation in 2010. The swagger-codegen project has the following compatibilies with the swagger specification:
| Swagger Codegen Version | Release Date | Swagger Spec compatibility | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.1.4-SNAPSHOT | 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0 | master | |
| 2.1.3 (current stable) | 2015-08-24 | 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0 | tag v2.1.3 |
| 2.0.17 | 2014-08-22 | 1.1, 1.2 | tag v2.0.17 |
| 1.0.4 | 2012-04-12 | 1.0, 1.1 | tag v1.0.4 |
You need the following installed and available in your $PATH:
Don't forget to install Java 7. You probably have 1.6 or 1.8.
Export JAVA_HOME in order to user proper Java version:
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7`
export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH
After cloning the project, you can build it from source with this command:
mvn package
You can build a client against the swagger sample petstore API as follows:
./bin/java-petstore.sh
This will run the generator with this command:
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate \
-i http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
-l java \
-o samples/client/petstore/java
With a number of options. You can get the options with the help generate command:
NAME
swagger generate - Generate code with chosen lang
SYNOPSIS
swagger generate [(-a <authorization> | --auth <authorization>)]
[(-c <configuration file> | --config <configuration file>)]
[-D <system properties>]
(-i <spec file> | --input-spec <spec file>)
(-l <language> | --lang <language>)
[(-o <output directory> | --output <output directory>)]
[(-t <template directory> | --template-dir <template directory>)]
[(-v | --verbose)]
[(-s | --skip-overwrite)]
OPTIONS
-a <authorization>, --auth <authorization>
adds authorization headers when fetching the swagger definitions
remotely. Pass in a URL-encoded string of name:header with a comma
separating multiple values
-c <configuration file>, --config <configuration file>
Path to json configuration file. File content should be in a json
format {"optionKey":"optionValue", "optionKey1":"optionValue1"...}
Supported options can be different for each language. Run
config-help -l {lang} command for language specific config options.
-D <system properties>
sets specified system properties in the format of
name=value,name=value
-i <spec file>, --input-spec <spec file>
location of the swagger spec, as URL or file (required)
-l <language>, --lang <language>
client language to generate (maybe class name in classpath,
required)
-o <output directory>, --output <output directory>
where to write the generated files (current dir by default)
-t <template directory>, --template-dir <template directory>
folder containing the template files
-v, --verbose
verbose mode
-s , --skip-overwrite
specifies if the existing files should be overwritten during
the generation
You can then compile and run the client, as well as unit tests against it:
cd samples/client/petstore/java
mvn package
Other languages have petstore samples, too:
./bin/android-petstore.sh
./bin/java-petstore.sh
./bin/objc-petstore.sh
It's just as easy--just use the -i flag to point to either a server or file.
Don't like the default swagger client syntax? Want a different language supported? No problem! Swagger codegen processes mustache templates with the jmustache engine. You can modify our templates or make your own.
You can look at modules/swagger-codegen/src/main/resources/${your-language} for examples. To make your own templates, create your own files and use the -t flag to specify your template folder. It actually is that easy.
If you're starting a project with a new language and don't see what you need, swagger-codegen can help you create a project to generate your own libraries:
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-distribution/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar meta \
-o output/myLibrary -n myClientCodegen -p com.my.company.codegen
This will write, in the folder output/myLibrary, all the files you need to get started, including a README.md. Once modified and compiled, you can load your library with the codegen and generate clients with your own, custom-rolled logic.
See our javascript library--it's completely dynamic and doesn't require static code generation. There is a third-party component called swagger-js-codegen that can generate angularjs or nodejs source code from a swagger specification.
If you don't want to call your server, you can save the swagger spec files into a directory and pass an argument to the code generator like this:
-i ./modules/swagger-codegen/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.json
Great for creating libraries on your ci server, from the Swagger Editor... or while coding on an airplane.
There are different aspects of customizing the code generator beyond just creating or modifying templates. Each language has a supporting configuration file to handle different type mappings, etc:
$ ls -1 modules/swagger-codegen/src/main/java/io/swagger/codegen/languages/

Each of these files creates reasonable defaults so you can get running quickly. But if you want to configure package names, prefixes, model folders, etc. you can use a json config file to pass the values.
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate \
-i http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
-l java \
-o samples/client/petstore/java \
-c path/to/config.json
Supported config options can be different per language. Running config-help -l {lang} will show available options.
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar config-help -l java
Output
CONFIG OPTIONS
modelPackage
package for generated models
apiPackage
package for generated api classes
invokerPackage
root package for generated code
groupId
groupId in generated pom.xml
artifactId
artifactId in generated pom.xml
artifactVersion
artifact version in generated pom.xml
sourceFolder
source folder for generated code
library
library template (sub-template) to use:
<default> - HTTP client: Jersey client 1.18. JSON processing: Jackson 2.4.2
jersey2 - HTTP client: Jersey client 2.6
okhttp-gson - HTTP client: OkHttp 2.4.0. JSON processing: Gson 2.3.1
Your config file for java can look like
{
"groupId":"com.my.company",
"artifactId":"MyClent",
"artifactVersion":"1.2.0"
}
For all the unspecified options default values will be used.
Another way to override default options is to extend config class for specific language. To change, for example, the prefix for the Objective-C generated files, simply subclass the ObjcClientCodegen.java:
package com.mycompany.swagger.codegen;
import io.swagger.codegen.languages.*;
public class MyObjcCodegen extends ObjcClientCodegen {
static {
PREFIX = "HELO";
}
}
and specify the classname when running the generator:
-l com.mycompany.swagger.codegen.MyObjcCodegen
Your subclass will now be loaded and overrides the PREFIX value in the superclass.
You have options. The easiest is to use our online validator which not only will let you validate your spec, but with the debug flag, you can see what's wrong with your spec. For example:
http://online.swagger.io/validator/debug?url=http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json
To do so, just use the -l dynamic-html flag when reading a spec file. This creates HTML documentation that is available as a single-page application with AJAX. To view the documentation:
cd samples/dynamic-html/
npm install
node .
Which launches a node.js server so the AJAX calls have a place to go.
To do so, just use the -l html flag when reading a spec file. This creates a single, simple HTML file with embedded css so you can ship it as an email attachment, or load it from your filesystem:
cd samples/html/
open index.html
You can also use the codegen to generate a server for a couple different frameworks. Take a look here:
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate \
-i http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
-l nodejs \
-o samples/server/petstore/nodejs
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate \
-i http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
-l scalatra \
-o samples/server/petstore/scalatra
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate \
-i http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
-l jaxrs \
-o samples/server/petstore/jaxrs
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate \
-i http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
-l spring-mvc \
-o samples/server/petstore/spring-mvc
This will create the swagger-codegen library from source.
mvn package
Note! The templates are included in the library generated. If you want to modify the templates, you'll need to either repackage the library OR specify a path to your scripts
