Ability to generate client from openapi specification for build

[dcdh]

Feature idea

Following this project https://github.com/dcdh/formula-interpreter/blob/master/pom.xml
the openapi-generator-maven-plugin is used to generate client in typescript based on openapi yaml file produce by the quarkus-smallrye-openapi dependency.

The build is done this way:

1. build openapi yaml
2. generate typescipt client using openapi-generator-maven-plugin at prepare-package phase
3. Just after build the project using frontend-maven-plugin also at prepare-package phase

Regarding quinoa, building the openapi.yaml and the project is done in only one phase at build one. So I am not able generate my typescript client after openapi.yaml generation and before building the project.

So it will be nice if it was possible split the build into two: build for backend services and prepare-package for frontend one with the ability to do something between them (like code generation).

Damien

I understand what you are saying. I use Orval to generate my TypeScript for React Query from OpenApi right now I have to do it as 2 steps. Generate the OpenApi JSON then I copy that to my webui and run npm run codegen

[dcdh]

I am using it using this kind of configuration:

application.properties:

quarkus.smallrye-openapi.store-schema-directory=src/main/webui/
mp.openapi.extensions.smallrye.operationIdStrategy=METHOD

package.json

{
// ...
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "orval --config ./orval.config.ts && react-scripts start",
    "build": "orval --config ./orval.config.ts && react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom"
  },
// ...
}

This way endpoints are generated add dev starting and build stages. No need to generate next copy to webui

@dcdh this is the life changing need i was looking for! I use Vite and Orval and do this and it works like a charm to autogenerate the TypeScript.

"scripts": {
	"format": "prettier --write \"{src,__tests__}/**/*.{ts,tsx}\"",
	"codegen": "orval && npm run format",
	"dev": "npm run codegen && vite",
	"build": "tsc && vite build",
},

@dcdh ok i am adding this to the docs for other people in the future.
