#Swagger to JS Codegen

This package generates a nodejs or angularjs class from a swagger specification file. The code is generated using mustache templates and is quality checked by jshint and beautified by js-beautify.

##Installation

npm install swagger-js-codegen

##Example

var fs = require('fs');
var CodeGen = require('swagger-js-codegen').CodeGen;

var file = 'swagger/spec.json';
var swagger = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(file, 'UTF-8'));
var nodejsSourceCode = CodeGen.getNodeCode({ className: 'Test', swagger: swagger });
var angularjsSourceCode = CodeGen.getAngularCode({ className: 'Test', swagger: swagger });
console.log(nodejsSourceCode);
console.log(angularjsSourceCode);

##Custom template

var source = CodeGen.getCustomCode({
    moduleName: 'Test',
    className: 'Test',
    swagger: swaggerSpec,
    template: {
        class: fs.readFileSync('my-class.mustache', 'utf-8'),
        method: fs.readFileSync('my-method.mustache', 'utf-8'),
        request: fs.readFileSync('my-request.mustache', 'utf-8')
    }
});

##Options In addition to the common options listed below, getCustomCode() requires a template field:

template: { class: "...", method: "...", request: "..." }

getAngularCode(), getNodeCode(), and getCustomCode() each support the following options:

####Custom Mustache Variables You can also pass in your own variables for the mustache templates by adding a mustache object:

var source = CodeGen.getCustomCode({
    ...
    mustache: {
      foo: 'bar',
      app_build_id: env.BUILD_ID,
      app_version: pkg.version
    }
});

##Swagger Extensions

x-swagger-js-method-name

By default, javascript method names are generated by concatenating the HTTP method name and path segments. Generally, the generated names read well, but sometimes they turn out wrong:

// A PUT to this path in a swagger schema:  /records/{id}/meta
// is intended to update a "meta" property on a specific "Record" entity.
// ...swagger-js-codegen generates a method named:
MyApi.prototype.putEntitiesByIdMeta = function(parameters) {

If you would like to provide your own method names, use the x-swagger-js-method-name field at the method level

  /records/{id}/meta:
    put:
      x-swagger-js-method-name: updateRecordMetaData
      parameters:
      - name: id
       in: path
       ...

x-proxy-header

Some proxies and application servers inject HTTP headers into the requests. Server-side code may use these fields, but they are not required in the client API.

eg: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/go/requests#Go_Request_headers

  /locations:
    get:
      parameters:
      - name: X-AppEngine-Country
        in: header
        x-proxy-header: true
        type: string
        description: Provided by AppEngine eg - US, AU, GB
      - name: country
        in: query
        type: string
        description: |
          2 character country code.
          If not specified, will default to the country provided in the X-AppEngine-Country header
      ...

Grunt & Gulp task

There is a grunt task that enables you to integrate the code generation in your development pipeline. This is extremely convenient if your application is using APIs which are documented/specified in the swagger format.

And example of gulp task is available here.
