OpenAPI v3 Code Generator for Go.

API should be pretty stable, but some rare changes can occur until v1.0.0.

Install

go get -d github.com/ogen-go/ogen

Usage

//go:generate go run github.com/ogen-go/ogen/cmd/ogen --target target/dir -package api --clean schema.json

or using container:

docker run --rm \
  --volume ".:/workspace" \
  ghcr.io/ogen-go/ogen:latest --target workspace/petstore --clean workspace/petstore.yml

Features

  • No reflection or interface{}
    • The json encoding is code-generated, optimized and uses go-faster/jx for speed and overcoming encoding/json limitations
    • Validation is code-generated according to spec
  • Code-generated static radix router
  • No more boilerplate
    • Structures are generated from OpenAPI v3 specification
    • Arguments, headers, url queries are parsed according to specification into structures
    • String formats like uuid, date, date-time, uri are represented by go types directly
  • Statically typed client and server
  • Convenient support for optional, nullable and optional nullable fields
    • No more pointers
    • Generated Optional[T], Nullable[T] or OptionalNullable[T] wrappers with helpers
    • Special case for array handling with nil semantics relevant to specification
      • When array is optional, nil denotes absence of value
      • When nullable, nil denotes that value is nil
      • When required, nil currently the same as [], but is actually invalid
      • If both nullable and required, wrapper will be generated (TODO)
  • Generated sum types for oneOf
    • Primitive types (string, number) are detected by type
    • Discriminator field is used if defined in schema
    • Type is inferred by unique fields if possible
  • Extra Go struct field tags in the generated types
  • OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics

Example generated structure from schema:

// Pet describes #/components/schemas/Pet.
type Pet struct {
	Birthday     time.Time     `json:"birthday"`
	Friends      []Pet         `json:"friends"`
	ID           int64         `json:"id"`
	IP           net.IP        `json:"ip"`
	IPV4         net.IP        `json:"ip_v4"`
	IPV6         net.IP        `json:"ip_v6"`
	Kind         PetKind       `json:"kind"`
	Name         string        `json:"name"`
	Next         OptData       `json:"next"`
	Nickname     NilString     `json:"nickname"`
	NullStr      OptNilString  `json:"nullStr"`
	Rate         time.Duration `json:"rate"`
	Tag          OptUUID       `json:"tag"`
	TestArray1   [][]string    `json:"testArray1"`
	TestDate     OptTime       `json:"testDate"`
	TestDateTime OptTime       `json:"testDateTime"`
	TestDuration OptDuration   `json:"testDuration"`
	TestFloat1   OptFloat64    `json:"testFloat1"`
	TestInteger1 OptInt        `json:"testInteger1"`
	TestTime     OptTime       `json:"testTime"`
	Type         OptPetType    `json:"type"`
	URI          url.URL       `json:"uri"`
	UniqueID     uuid.UUID     `json:"unique_id"`
}

Example generated server interface:

// Server handles operations described by OpenAPI v3 specification.
type Server interface {
	PetGetByName(ctx context.Context, params PetGetByNameParams) (Pet, error)
	// ...
}

Example generated client method signature:

type PetGetByNameParams struct {
    Name string
}

// GET /pet/{name}
func (c *Client) PetGetByName(ctx context.Context, params PetGetByNameParams) (res Pet, err error)

Generics

Instead of using pointers, ogen generates generic wrappers.

For example, OptNilString is string that is optional (no value) and can be null.

// OptNilString is optional nullable string.
type OptNilString struct {
	Value string
	Set   bool
	Null  bool
}

Multiple convenience helper methods and functions are generated, some of them:

func (OptNilString) Get() (v string, ok bool)
func (OptNilString) IsNull() bool
func (OptNilString) IsSet() bool

func NewOptNilString(v string) OptNilString

Recursive types

If ogen encounters recursive types that can't be expressed in go, pointers are used as fallback.

Sum types

For oneOf sum-types are generated. ID that is one of [string, integer] will be represented like that:

type ID struct {
	Type   IDType
	String string
	Int    int
}

// Also, some helpers:
func NewStringID(v string) ID
func NewIntID(v int) ID

Extension properties

OpenAPI enables Specification Extensions, which are implemented as patterned fields that are always prefixed by x-.

Server name

Optionally, server name can be specified by x-ogen-server-name, for example:

{
  "openapi": "3.0.3",
  "servers": [
    {
      "x-ogen-server-name": "production",
      "url": "https://{region}.example.com/{val}/v1",
    },
    {
      "x-ogen-server-name": "prefix",
      "url": "/{val}/v1",
    },
    {
      "x-ogen-server-name": "const",
      "url": "https://cdn.example.com/v1"
    }
  ],
(...)

Custom type name

Optionally, type name can be specified by x-ogen-name, for example:

{
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
  "type": "object",
  "x-ogen-name": "Name",
  "properties": {
    "foobar": {
      "$ref": "#/$defs/FooBar"
    }
  },
  "$defs": {
    "FooBar": {
      "x-ogen-name": "FooBar",
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "foo": {
          "type": "string"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Custom field name

Optionally, type name can be specified by x-ogen-properties, for example:

components:
  schemas:
    Node:
      type: object
      properties:
        parent:
          $ref: "#/components/schemas/Node"
        child:
          $ref: "#/components/schemas/Node"
      x-ogen-properties:
        parent:
          name: "Prev"
        child:
          name: "Next"

The generated source code looks like:

// Ref: #/components/schemas/Node
type Node struct {
    Prev *Node `json:"parent"`
    Next *Node `json:"child"`
}

Extra struct field tags

Optionally, additional Go struct field tags can be specified by x-oapi-codegen-extra-tags, for example:

components:
  schemas:
    Pet:
      type: object
      required:
        - id
      properties:
        id:
          type: integer
          format: int64
          x-oapi-codegen-extra-tags:
            gorm: primaryKey
            valid: customIdValidator

The generated source code looks like:

// Ref: #/components/schemas/Pet
type Pet struct {
    ID   int64     `gorm:"primaryKey" valid:"customNameValidator" json:"id"`
}

Streaming JSON encoding

By default, ogen loads the entire JSON body into memory before decoding it. Optionally, streaming JSON encoding can be enabled by x-ogen-json-streaming, for example:

requestBody:
  required: true
  content:
    application/json:
      x-ogen-json-streaming: true
      schema:
        type: array
        items:
          type: number

JSON

Code generation provides very efficient and flexible encoding and decoding of json:

// Decode decodes Error from json.
func (s *Error) Decode(d *jx.Decoder) error {
	if s == nil {
		return errors.New("invalid: unable to decode Error to nil")
	}
	return d.ObjBytes(func(d *jx.Decoder, k []byte) error {
		switch string(k) {
		case "code":
			if err := func() error {
				v, err := d.Int64()
				s.Code = int64(v)
				if err != nil {
					return err
				}
				return nil
			}(); err != nil {
				return errors.Wrap(err, "decode field \"code\"")
			}
		case "message":
			if err := func() error {
				v, err := d.Str()
				s.Message = string(v)
				if err != nil {
					return err
				}
				return nil
			}(); err != nil {
				return errors.Wrap(err, "decode field \"message\"")
			}
		default:
			return d.Skip()
		}
		return nil
	})
}
