This package contains scripts, types and functions to help you work with openapi.
Run the following commands:
npm install --save-dev @map-colonies/openapi-helpers supertest prettier openapi-typescript @types/express
The package contains a script that wraps the openapi-typescript
package and generates types for the openapi schema. The script also formats the generated types using prettier
.
The command structure is as follows:
npx @map-colonies/openapi-helpers <input-file> <output-file> --format
For example:
npx @map-colonies/openapi-helpers ./openapi3.yaml ./src/openapi.d.ts --format
The package contains a wrapper for the supertest
package that provides autocomplete for all the requests to the API based on the openapi. The requestSender is initialized with the server's base url and the openapi schema and the types exported by openapi-typescript
.
import { RequestSender } from '@map-colonies/openapi-helpers/requestSender';
import type { paths, operations } from './src/openapi.d.ts';
const requestSender = await createRequestSender<paths, operations>('path/to/openapi3.yaml', expressApp);
The requestSender object contains all the paths and operations defined in the openapi schema. For example, to send a request to the getUsers
operation with the /users
path and with the GET
method, you can use the following code:
const response = await requestSender.getUsers();
// or
const response = await requestSender.sendRequest({
method: 'get',
path: '/simple-request'
});
The package supports all the operations defined in the openapi schema, either by operation name, or by using the sendRequest
function with the method, path and parameters.
Important
For the package function properly, you need to make sure that the following values are configured in your tsconfig.json
or jsconfig.json
files under compilerOptions:
- module: "NodeNext"
- moduleResolution: "NodeNext"
