#OpenApi server codegen

I understand that you can generate a client library using openapi config but I'm wondering if you can generate a servers routing as well so as to avoid interacting with http and also get the type benefits of your spec. I know there's server stub generation but those only seem to be intended for testing.
Is there a codegen that generates all the routes and just gives you boilerplate for you to fill in the functionality for each operation?

Yes, you can generate server code using OpenAPI code generators. These code generators can generate server stubs or skeletons that provide the routing and handling of HTTP requests based on the API specification defined in the OpenAPI document.

By using a code generator, you can avoid directly interacting with HTTP and focus on implementing the business logic of your API. The generated server code will handle the incoming requests, route them to the appropriate handlers, and provide a framework for you to implement your API's functionality.

The specific process and options for generating server code depend on the programming language and framework you are using. There are various OpenAPI code generators available for different languages such as Java, Python, Node.js, etc. You can find these generators by searching for "OpenAPI code generator" along with your desired programming language.

Once you have generated the server code, you can start implementing your API's logic by adding functionality to the generated handlers or controllers. The generated routing will handle incoming requests based on the defined paths and methods in your OpenAPI document.

It's important to note that while these code generators provide a good starting point for building your API server, you may still need to customize and extend the generated code to fit your specific requirements.

To generate skeletons with Express, you can use a command-line tool called "Express Generator." This tool helps you quickly set up an Express application with a basic file structure and initial configuration.

Here are the steps to generate a skeleton with Express:

  1. Install Express Generator globally by running the following command in your terminal:

    npm install -g express-generator

  2. Create a new directory for your project and navigate into it:

    mkdir my-express-app
cd my-express-app

  3. Generate the Express skeleton by running the following command:

    express --view=ejs

    This command creates an Express application using EJS (Embedded JavaScript) as the view engine. You can replace ejs with other supported view engines like pug or handlebars.

  4. Install dependencies by running:

    npm install

  5. After installation, you will have a basic Express application structure in your project directory. The generated files include:

  • app.js: The main entry point of your application.
  • bin/www: The script to start the server.
  • public/: A directory to store static files like CSS, JavaScript, and images.
  • routes/: A directory to define routes for different parts of your application.
  • views/: A directory to store view templates.
  • package.json: The configuration file that lists project dependencies and scripts.
  1. You can now start your Express server by running:
    npm start

By default, the server will run on port 3000. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see your newly generated Express application.

Express Generator provides a solid starting point for building web applications with Express, allowing you to focus on writing business logic rather than setting up boilerplate code. From here, you can customize and expand your application as needed.

To generate a skeleton for an Express.js application, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install the Express Generator globally by running the following command in your terminal:

    npm install -g express-generator

  2. Create a new directory for your project and navigate into it:

    mkdir my-express-app
cd my-express-app

  3. Generate the Express.js skeleton using the Express Generator:

    express --no-view

    The --no-view flag is used to skip generating the default view engine (e.g., Jade/Pug). If you want to use a specific view engine, you can omit this flag and specify it during generation (e.g., express --view=ejs).

  4. Install the dependencies by running:

    npm install

  5. After installation, you can start your Express.js application by executing:

    npm start

Now, you have a basic skeleton for an Express.js application generated by the Express Generator. You can modify and build upon this skeleton to suit your specific needs.

are you willing to use nodejs for backend?

anything is possible with several technologies

#

if you go with Spring, it provides a nice module called Spring Data REST

#

you add it as a dependency and it generates endpoints for you

#

i mean it manages them

#

but do not generate code that you can modify

#

also, there is a good tool called JHipster, you initialize it with essential configs and it generate whole project

thanks!
