# Strongly Typed OpenAPI Client Generators
Reading an OpenAPI / Swagger YAML/JSON definition file, OpenApiClientGen generates strongly typed client API codes in C# and in TypeScript for Angular, Axios, Fetch API, Aurelia and jQuery, as well as Angular strictly typed reactive forms.

This program is based on Fonlow.TypeScriptCodeDomCore and Fonlow.Poco2TsCore which are core components of [WebApiClientGen](https://github.com/zijianhuang/webapiclientgen), thus the codes generated share similar characteristics.

Generated TypeScript codes conform to the [TypeScript strict mode](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#strict), and the generated Angular 2+ codes conform to the [Angular strict mode](https://angular.io/guide/strict-mode).

**Hints**

If you are using ASP.NET or ASP.NET Core to develop Web API and would support C# clients and TypeScript clients, WebApiClientGen may provide an alternative solution that covers what offered by Swashbuckle+NSwag. And in some contexts it is more efficient, effective and comprehensive to use WebApiClientGen in SDLC without involving Open API / Swagger YAML/JSON definitions.

## Examples of Generated Codes

OpenApiClientGen had been tested upon over 2,000 Open API definitions in v3 formats and in v2 formats.

*  [pet.yaml](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/blob/master/Tests/DemoClientApi/pet.yaml), [C# Client API codes generated](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/blob/master/Tests/DemoClientApi/PetAuto.cs) of client API lib, and   [Integration Tests](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/tree/master/Tests/SwagApiTests).
* [Generated TypeScript codes for Angular 5+](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/blob/master/Tests/SwagTsTests/NG2Results/) and [integration tests for pet.yaml](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/tree/master/ng2/src)
* [Generated TypeScript codes for Angular Reactive Typed Forms](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/blob/master/Tests/SwagTsTests/NG2FormGroupResults) 
* [Generated TypeScript codes for Aurelia](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/tree/master/Tests/SwagTests/AureliaResults) and [integration tests for pet.yaml](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/tree/master/aurelia/src)
* [Generated TypeScript codes for AXIOS](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/tree/master/Tests/SwagTests/AxiosResults) and [integration tests for pet.yaml](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/tree/master/axios/src)
* [Generated TypeScript codes for Fetch API](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/tree/master/Tests/SwagTests/FetchResults) and [integration tests for pet.yaml](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/tree/master/fetchapi/src)
* [Generated TypeScript codes for jQuery](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/tree/master/Tests/SwagTests/JqResults) and [integration tests for pet.yaml](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/tree/master/jq/src)

## Data Mappings

This section describes only mappings for simple and primitive types in OpenAPI definition, C# and TypeScript.

### To C# Codes

```c#
static readonly Dictionary<string, Type> basicClrTypeDic = new()
{
	{"integer_int32", typeof(int) },
	{"integer_int64", typeof(long) },
	{"integer", typeof(int) },
	{"integer_uint32", typeof(uint) },
	{"number_float", typeof(float) },
	{"number_double", typeof(double) },
	{"number_decimal", typeof(decimal) },
	{"number", typeof(double) }, //C# by default use double for number literal
	{"string", typeof(string) },
	{"boolean", typeof(bool) },
	{"string_date", typeof(DateOnly) },
	{"string_date-time", typeof(DateTimeOffset) },
};
```

### To TypeScript Codes

```c#
static readonly Dictionary<string, string> basicTsTypeDic = new()
{
	{"integer_int32", "number" },
	{"integer_int64", "number" },
	{"integer", "number" },
	{"integer_uint32", "number" },
	{"number_float", "number" },
	{"number_double", "number" },
	{"number_decimal", "number" },
	{"number", "number" },
	{"string", "string" },
	{"boolean", "boolean" },
	{"string_date", "Date" },
	{"string_date-time", "Date" },
};
```

And "integer_int64" is actually mapped to "string" because JS supports integral precision up to 53 bits.

## Validation Mappings

### OpenAPI validation to .NET validation

| Schema | .NET Attribute |
| ------ | ---- |  
| MinLength | MinLength |
| MaxLength | MaxLength |
| MinLength + MaxLength | Length |
| Minimum, Maximum | Range(min, max) or Range(TypeFullName, min, max) |
| MinItems | MinLength |
| MaxItems | MaxLength |
| MinItems + MaxItems | Length |
| Pattern | RegularExpression |

### OpenAPI validation to Angular Reactive Forms Validation

| Schema | Angular Reactive Forms Validation |
| ----- | ---- |
| Required | required |
| MinLength, MaxLength, MinItems, MaxItems | minLength, maxLength |
| Minimum, Maximum | min, max |
| Pattern | pattern |

## Installation
OpenApiClientGen is a .NET Core console app.

**Prerequisites**

* .NET 8 (since v3.2)

**Remarks**

* The generated C# codes could be built with .NET Frameworks in addition to .NET.

### Source Installation
Check out this repository or one of its tags, then do a release build or a Visual Studio's Publish.

**Hints**

The plugin assemblies should be copied accordingly after a release build.

### Binary Download

Download one the [zip files](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/releases) of the releases and extract to a local folder. The console app includes the following plugins for JavaScript/TypeScript libs or frameworks:

* Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen.Aurelia
* Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen.Axios
* Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen.Fetch
* Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen.JQ
* Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen.NG2
* Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen.NG2FormGroup

#### MacOS
If you are using Mac OS or Linux for development, you may use "dotnet publish", for example:

`dotnet publish -r osx-x64 --output %target% --configuration release --self-contained false`

Under folder "Fonlow.OpenApiClienGen", there are 2 batch files to build a release for MacOS:
* BuildForMac.bat
* BuildForMacSelfContained.bat

On Mac, you may run

```dotnet Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen.dll my.yaml codegen.json```

or

```./Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen my.yaml codegen.json```

After running `chmod 755 Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen` once.

## Code Generation

When running the program without valid parameters, you get some simple hints:
```
Parameter 1: Open API YAML/JSON definition file
Parameter 2: Settings file in JSON format.
Example:  
  Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen.exe my.yaml
  Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen.exe my.yaml myproj.json
  Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen.exe my.yaml ..\myproj.json
```

### Settings

A typical CodeGen JSON file is like this ["DemoCodeGen.json"](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/blob/master/DemoCodeGen.json):
```json
{
	"ClientNamespace": "My.Pet.Client",
	"ClientLibraryProjectFolderName": "./Tests/DemoClientApi",
	"ContainerClassName": "PetClient",
	"ClientLibraryFileName": "PetAuto.cs",
	"ActionNameStrategy": 4,
	"UseEnsureSuccessStatusCodeEx": true,
	"DecorateDataModelWithDataContract": true,
	"DataContractNamespace": "http://pet.domain/2020/03",
	"DataAnnotationsEnabled": true,
	"DataAnnotationsToComments": true,
	"HandleHttpRequestHeaders": true,

"Plugins": [
		{
			"AssemblyName": "Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen.NG2",
			"TargetDir": "./ng2/src/clientapi",
			"TSFile": "ClientApiAuto.ts",
			"AsModule": true,
			"ContentType": "application/json;charset=UTF-8"
		}
	]

}
```

You may run the code generator through a batch file:
```batch
cd %~dp0
c:\green\OpenApiClientGen\Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen.exe some_service.yaml mycodegen.json
```

The JSON file is mapped to the following [C# codes](https://github.com/zijianhuang/openapiclientgen/blob/master/Fonlow.OpenApiClientGen.ClientTypes/Settings.cs) which describes each setting:
```c#
