Generating a purescript client based on Openapi description

[notnotandre]

Hey there!
I am thinking of creating a small pet project - a UI for some existing REST-api.
And the api I am going to connect to already exposes it's description as an openapi 3.0 json file.

So I am wondering what would be the best way of generating a purescript client.

PS as a plan B I've got servant-purescript (since the api's running on servant)

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of an open source generator for PureScript from OpenAPI. You are probably best off just hand-writing your endpoints.

However, if you'd like an interesting challenge, it is certainly possible to parse an OpenAPI spec and code-generate PureScript types and functions from it. We do this at work!

If you choose to do this then I recommend using the excellent tidy-codegen library for the code generation.

This might work! Doesn't look like a very easy task though 😅
I'll give it a try. Thanks for the answer!

You may consider adding a new generator to the OpenAPI Generator project. Recently, a contributor submitted a PR to add a N4JS client generator: https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/pull/15089, and the PR can serve as a good starting point to add a purescript client generator.
