Add NestJS server stub generator
psamusev opened this issue · 5 comments
NestJS is a popular node js framework to authoring the backend. Would be nice to have corresponding generator to generate NestJS based server from open api spec
@psamusev thank you for the suggestion. I would welcome a generator template for this and any other environment. Are you interested in creating it?
Things are reasonably settled in the project now and I think we're approaching a 1.0.0 for the core.
I'd be happy to improve the documentation for building a generator template to help!
@karlvr Do we already have documentation about custom generator creation that I or anyone else can follow to create this one?
@psamusev Not reaaaallllyyy… I've just been on a process of improving the documentation for users. Nearly all of the generator templates are in the other repository. I have started two new generator templates in separate repositories recently.
I am guessing the NestJS server stub would be most similar to the https://github.com/karlvr/openapi-generator-plus-express-passport one. Is that right?
I would start a new project by copying that one and then tweaking the templates as desired. There's very little typescript. Lots of handlebars.
There are built in tests so you can run the tests and see what it outputs.
If you choose to I will document whatever bits of the process you need!

Somehow yes, it can be considered as a wrapper to express with Module system.
I may try to create the generator during my free time if you like with base of express-passport if it's done and works.
Should it be also separate repo?
