# OAS Generator

Generate [Gleam](https://gleam.run/) clients from [Open API Specs](https://swagger.io/specification/).

[![Hex Docs](https://img.shields.io/badge/hex-docs-ffaff3)](https://hexdocs.pm/oas_generator/)


## โœจ Features

- ๐Ÿฆ„ Generates Gleam HTTP client code from OpenAPI 3.0+ specs
- ๐Ÿ”’ Produces typesafe function signatures and records
- ๐Ÿงฉ Compatible with `gleam/httpc` or `gleam/fetch` for use on front end or backend.
- ๐Ÿ’พ Parses JSON responses into Gleam types


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

## ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Usage

Install as a dev dependency.

```sh
gleam add --dev oas_generator@1
```

Fetch the JSON version of your API specification.

An example for a petstore is available [here](https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json)

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

```gleam
// 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](https://github.com/midas-framework/midas_sdk/blob/main/sdks/netlify/src/netlify.gleam)

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

## ๐Ÿงช Development

```sh
gleam test  # Run the tests
```

## ๐Ÿ“œ Notes

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