Generating client code from an OpenAPI specification can save a lot of development time and reduce risk of that code being outdated. However, it is not immediately obvious how to generate that code from a Spring Boot application. This article explains how to generate Angular code from a Java Spring Boot project using Springdoc Swagger and Maven (though you can easily swap out Angular for any other language).
One of Swagger’s strongest selling points is the ability to generate client code from an OpenAPI specification – this usually works well if you’re using the Design First approach. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much information on how to automate the process when using the Code First approach. Today we will learn how to easily generate Angular code from a Java Spring Boot project using Springfox Swagger and Swagger Codegen.
