Mainly, it's because the original project maintainer doesn't have time to support the project. We wanted to keep the development going since this library became incompatible with FastAPI v0.99.0 release that introduced support for OpenAPI v3.1. While that was the main objective, this fork also offers other features such as:
- correct handling of 204 response status codes
- ability to select which services to export and naming strategies for generated methods
- support for non-ASCII characters
- support for x-body-name header (compatible with Connexion v3.x)
- ability to autoformat output with Prettier
Node.js library that generates Typescript clients based on the OpenAPI specification.
- Frontend ❤️ OpenAPI, but we do not want to use Java codegen in our builds
- Quick, lightweight, robust and framework-agnostic 🚀
- Supports generation of TypeScript clients
- Supports generations of Fetch, Node-Fetch, Axios, Angular and XHR http clients
- Supports OpenAPI specification v2.0 and v3.0 (v3.1 is partially supported)
- Supports JSON and YAML files for input
- Supports generation through CLI, Node.js and npx
- Supports tsc and @babel/plugin-transform-typescript
- Supports aborting of requests (cancelable promise pattern)
- Supports external references using json-schema-ref-parser
