Generate modern Python clients from OpenAPI

This project is still in early development and does not support all OpenAPI features

The Python clients generated by openapi-generator support Python 2 and therefore come with a lot of baggage. This tool aims to generate clients which:

1. Use all the latest and greatest Python features like type annotations and dataclasses
2. Don't carry around a bunch of compatibility code for older version of Python (e.g. the six package)
3. Have better documentation and more obvious usage instructions

Additionally, because this generator is written in Python, it should be more accessible to contribution by the people using it (Python developers).

I recommend you install with pipx so you don't conflict with any other packages you might have: pipx install openapi-python-client.

Better yet, use pipx run openapi-python-client <normal params / options> to always use the latest version of the generator.

You can install with normal pip if you want to though: pip install openapi-python-client

Then, if you want tab completion: openapi-python-client --install-completion

openapi-python-client generate --url https://my.api.com/openapi.json

This will generate a new client library named based on the title in your OpenAPI spec. For example, if the title of your API is "My API", the expected output will be "my-api-client". If a folder already exists by that name, you'll get an error.

openapi-python-client update --url https://my.api.com/openapi.json

For more usage details run openapi-python-client --help or read usage

1. A pyproject.toml file with some basic metadata intended to be used with Poetry.
2. A README.md you'll most definitely need to update with your project's details
3. A Python module named just like the auto-generated project name (e.g. "my_api_client") which contains:
   1. A client module which will have both a Client class and an AuthenticatedClient class. You'll need these for calling the functions in the api module.
   2. An api module which will contain one module for each tag in your OpenAPI spec, as well as a default module for endpoints without a tag. Each of these modules in turn contains one function for calling each endpoint.
   3. A models module which has all the classes defined by the various schemas in your OpenAPI spec

1. All HTTP Methods
2. JSON and form bodies, path and query parameters
3. float, string, int, datetimes, string enums, and custom schemas or lists containing any of those
4. html/text or application/json responses containing any of the previous types
5. Bearer token security
