gin-in-a-can

can

The gin templates that are available in the existing openapi generator require in place modification. This does not suit our workflow. We would like to be able to regenerate our API interface without having to patch in our own code every time. gRPC generates code that illustrates how to generate code that can be used without modification.

This repository is intended to apply the pattern used by gRPC to Gin for rest services.

Usage

Download the latest release archive for your platform and extract it. Copy the example config file to a convenient location and modify it to your needs.

Run the can command as follows: /path/to/can --configFile=/path/to/can.yml

Design

Roadmap

TODOs

• Look into yaml.Readpath
• Look into unmarshalling composed types
• Implement e2e testing of generated code (1.0)
• (Alex) test resolveRefs against nested refs and debug - use hackday branch for reference
• Finish unit testing
• Spec Compliant Templating
  • go-client
  • go-gin +* Pipeline
  • Linting (https://github.com/uber-go/guide/blob/master/.golangci.yml)
  • Automated PR-blocking testing for unit and e2e testing
  • Automated PR-blocking building of binary
  • Release pipeline revision for main

Long Term Goals

• Unmarshal refs into node container
• Full Open Api spec 3.x coverage
• Make full use of Architechtural Decision Records - keep in main branch
• Robust CI pipeline
• Implement style guide for development - possible adapted from pre-existing industry-used guides
