The CLI provides a simple binary written in go to access the https://sdkgen.app/ code generator. The following example shows how you can use the binary.

To get the binary you can either use one of our pre-build binaries which you can download from our release page, or you can also simply build the binary by yourself with:

go build

The install command reads the sdkgen.json file from the current working directory and generates all defined dependencies. Take a look at the schema page to see the structure of the sdkgen.json schema file. The install comand generates a sdkgen.lock file where all resolved specifications are placed, so that subsequent install comand calls always use the same specification.

sdkgen install --client-id="[user]" --client-secret="[password]"

The update command works almost identical to the install command except that it does not read the sdkgen.lock file and always fetches the latest specification.

sdkgen update --client-id="[user]" --client-secret="[password]"

The generate command expects as first type a type which SDK should be generated i.e. client-typescript. The second argument is a TypeAPI specification which describes your REST API. The last argument is a target directory where all generated files are placed.

sdkgen generate [type] [schema_file] [output_dir] --client-id="[user]" --client-secret="[password]"

• type
  The type describes what kind of SDK should be generated i.e. TypeScript or Java. You can get a list of all available types with sdkgen types.
• schema_file
  The input TypeAPI specification which describes your REST API.
• output_dir
  The target output dir where all generated files are placed, this directory should be empty.
• --client-id
  The client id is either your username or an app key which you can create at our backend.
• --client-secret
  This client secret is either your password or an app secret which you can create at our backend.

Lists all available types which can be used at the generate command.

sdkgen types --client-id="[user]" --client-secret="[password]"

• --client-id
  The client id is either your username or an app key which you can create at our backend.
• --client-secret
  This client secret is either your password or an app secret which you can create at our backend.

This repository contains also a simple docker file to execute the generator if you dont want to use the binary directly. To use the docker file you need to set the fitting credentials at the docker-compose.yml file, then you can run:

docker-compose up

This builds the docker image and executes the sdkgen install command, it reads the sdkgen.json from the ./input folder and writes the generated code to the ./output folder. You can also directly use the apiootech/sdkgen docker image.
