## #Docker Image

The openapi-generator-online Docker image can act as a self-hosted web application and API for generating code. This container can be incorporated into a CI pipeline, and requires at least two HTTP requests and some docker orchestration to access generated code.

Example usage:

    # Start container at port 8888 and save the container idCID=$(docker run -d -p 8888:8080 openapitools/openapi-generator-online)# allow for startupsleep 10# Get the IP of the running container (optional)GEN_IP=$(docker inspect --format '{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}'  ${CID})# Execute an HTTP request to generate a Ruby clientcurl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \  --header 'Accept: application/json' \  -d '{"openAPIUrl": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml"}' \  'http://localhost:8888/api/gen/clients/ruby'# Example output:# {"code":"c2d483.3.4672-40e9-91df-b9ffd18d22b8","link":"http://localhost:8888/api/gen/download/c2d483.3.4672-40e9-91df-b9ffd18d22b8"}# Download the generated zip file  (using "code" provided from your output) wget http://localhost:8888/api/gen/download/c2d483.3.4672-40e9-91df-b9ffd18d22b8# Unzip the fileunzip c2d483.3.4672-40e9-91df-b9ffd18d22b8# Shutdown the openapi generator imagedocker stop ${CID} && docker rm ${CID}

## #Local/Self-hosting

If you prefer to run the service locally, here are the steps:

    mvn clean installcd modules/openapi-generator-onlinemvn spring-boot:run

> The online openapi-generator can be run via Docker as well.

For example, to generate Ruby API client, simply send the following HTTP request using curl:

    curl -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" -d '{"openAPIUrl":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml"}' \    http://localhost:8080/api/gen/clients/ruby

Then you will receive a JSON response with the URL to download the zipped code.

To customize the SDK, you can `POST` to `http://localhost:8080/gen/clients/{generator}` with the following HTTP body:

    {  "options": {},  "openAPIUrl": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml"}

Here, the `options` for a language can be obtained by submitting a `GET` request to `http://locahost:8080/api/gen/clients/{generator}`:

For example, `curl http://localhost:8080/api/gen/clients/python` returns

    "packageName":{    "opt":"packageName",    "description":"python package name (convention: snake_case).",    "type":"string",    "default":"openapi_client"  },  "packageVersion":{    "opt":"packageVersion",    "description":"python package version.",    "type":"string",    "default":"1.0.0"  },  "sortParamsByRequiredFlag":{    "opt":"sortParamsByRequiredFlag",    "description":"Sort method arguments to place required parameters before optional parameters.",    "type":"boolean",    "default":"true"  }{}

To set package name to `pet_store`, the HTTP body of the request is as follows:

    {  "options": {    "packageName": "pet_store"  },  "openAPIUrl": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml"}

and here is the curl command:

    curl -H "Content-type: application/json" \    -X POST \    -d '{"options": {"packageName": "pet_store"},"openAPIUrl": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openapitools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml"}' \    http://localhost:8080/api/gen/clients/python

Instead of using `openAPIUrl` with an URL to the OpenAPI spec, one can include the spec in the JSON payload with `spec`:

    {  "options": {},  "spec": {    "swagger": "2.0",    "info": {      "version": "1.0.0",      "title": "Test API"    },    ...  }}
