Prerequisites
If you're looking for the latest stable version, you can grab it directly from Maven.org (Java 8 runtime at a minimum):
# Download current stable 2.x.x branch (Swagger and OpenAPI version 2)
wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/swagger/swagger-codegen-cli/2.4.17/swagger-codegen-cli-2.4.17.jar -O swagger-codegen-cli.jar
java -jar swagger-codegen-cli.jar help
# Download current stable 3.x.x branch (OpenAPI version 3)
wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/swagger/codegen/v3/swagger-codegen-cli/3.0.23/swagger-codegen-cli-3.0.23.jar -O swagger-codegen-cli.jar
java -jar swagger-codegen-cli.jar --help
For Windows users, you will need to install wget or you can use Invoke-WebRequest in PowerShell (3.0+), e.g. Invoke-WebRequest -OutFile swagger-codegen-cli.jar https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/swagger/swagger-codegen-cli/2.4.17/swagger-codegen-cli-2.4.17.jar
On a mac, it's even easier with brew:
brew install swagger-codegen
To build from source, you need the following installed and available in your $PATH:
OS X Users
Don't forget to install Java 8+.
Export JAVA_HOME in order to use the supported Java version:
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8`
export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH
Building
After cloning the project, you can build it from source with this command:
mvn clean package
If you don't have maven installed, you may directly use the included maven wrapper, and build with the command:
./mvnw clean package
Homebrew
To install, run brew install swagger-codegen
Here is an example usage:
swagger-codegen generate -i https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json -l ruby -o /tmp/test/
Docker
Development in docker
You can use run-in-docker.sh to do all development. This script maps your local repository to /gen in the docker container. It also maps ~/.m2/repository to the appropriate container location.
To execute mvn package:
git clone https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen
cd swagger-codegen
./run-in-docker.sh mvn package
Build artifacts are now accessible in your working directory.
Once built, run-in-docker.sh will act as an executable for swagger-codegen-cli. To generate code, you'll need to output to a directory under /gen (e.g. /gen/out). For example:
./run-in-docker.sh help # Executes 'help' command for swagger-codegen-cli
./run-in-docker.sh langs # Executes 'langs' command for swagger-codegen-cli
./run-in-docker.sh /gen/bin/go-petstore.sh # Builds the Go client
./run-in-docker.sh generate -i modules/swagger-codegen/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml \
-l go -o /gen/out/go-petstore -DpackageName=petstore # generates go client, outputs locally to ./out/go-petstore
Standalone generator Development in docker
See standalone generator development
Run Docker in Vagrant
Prerequisite: install Vagrant and VirtualBox.
git clone http://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen.git
cd swagger-codegen
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
cd /vagrant
./run-in-docker.sh mvn package
Public Pre-built Docker images
- https://hub.docker.com/r/swaggerapi/swagger-generator/ (official web service)
- https://hub.docker.com/r/swaggerapi/swagger-codegen-cli/ (official CLI)
Swagger Generator Docker Image
The Swagger Generator 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 (note this assumes jq is installed for command line processing of JSON):
# Start container and save the container id
CID=$(docker run -d swaggerapi/swagger-generator)
# allow for startup
sleep 5
# Get the IP of the running container
GEN_IP=$(docker inspect --format '{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}' $CID)
# Execute an HTTP request and store the download link
RESULT=$(curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '{
"swaggerUrl": "https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"
}' 'http://localhost:8188/api/gen/clients/javascript' | jq '.link' | tr -d '"')
# Download the generated zip and redirect to a file
curl $RESULT > result.zip
# Shutdown the swagger generator image
docker stop $CID && docker rm $CID
In the example above, result.zip will contain the generated client.
Swagger Codegen CLI Docker Image
The Swagger Codegen image acts as a standalone executable. It can be used as an alternative to installing via homebrew, or for developers who are unable to install Java or upgrade the installed version.
To generate code with this image, you'll need to mount a local location as a volume.
Example:
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/local swaggerapi/swagger-codegen-cli generate \
-i https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
-l go \
-o /local/out/go
(On Windows replace ${PWD} with %CD%)
The generated code will be located under ./out/go in the current directory.
Getting Started
To generate a PHP client for https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json, please run the following
git clone https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen
cd swagger-codegen
mvn clean package
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate \
-i https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
-l php \
-o /var/tmp/php_api_client
(if you're on Windows, replace the last command with java -jar modules\swagger-codegen-cli\target\swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate -i https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json -l php -o c:\temp\php_api_client)
You can also download the JAR (latest release) directly from maven.org
To get a list of general options available, please run java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar help generate (for version 3.x check 3.0.0 branch)
To get a list of PHP specified options (which can be passed to the generator with a config file via the -c option), please run java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar config-help -l php
Generators
To generate a sample client library
You can build a client against the swagger sample petstore API as follows:
./bin/java-petstore.sh
(On Windows, run .\bin\windows\java-petstore.bat instead)
This will run the generator with this command:
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate \
-i https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
-l java \
-o samples/client/petstore/java
with a number of options. You can get the options with the help generate command (below only shows partial results):

-a <authorization>, --auth <authorization>
adds authorization headers when fetching the swagger definitions
remotely. Pass in a URL-encoded string of name:header with a comma
separating multiple values
...... (results omitted)
-v, --verbose
verbose mode
You can then compile and run the client, as well as unit tests against it:
cd samples/client/petstore/java
mvn package
Other languages have petstore samples, too:
./bin/android-petstore.sh
./bin/java-petstore.sh
./bin/objc-petstore.sh
Generating libraries from your server
It's just as easy--just use the -i flag to point to either a server or file.
Modifying the client library format
Don't like the default swagger client syntax? Want a different language supported? No problem! Swagger Codegen processes mustache templates with the jmustache engine. You can modify our templates or make your own.
You can look at modules/swagger-codegen/src/main/resources/${your-language} for examples. To make your own templates, create your own files and use the -t flag to specify your template folder. It actually is that easy.
Making your own codegen modules
If you're starting a project with a new language and don't see what you need, Swagger Codegen can help you create a project to generate your own libraries:
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar meta \
-o output/myLibrary -n myClientCodegen -p com.my.company.codegen
This will write, in the folder output/myLibrary, all the files you need to get started, including a `README.md. Once modified and compiled, you can load your library with the codegen and generate clients with your own, custom-rolled logic.
You would then compile your library in the output/myLibrary folder with mvn package and execute the codegen like such:
java -cp output/myLibrary/target/myClientCodegen-swagger-codegen-1.0.0.jar:modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar io.swagger.codegen.SwaggerCodegen
For Windows users, you will need to use ; instead of : in the classpath, e.g.
java -cp output/myLibrary/target/myClientCodegen-swagger-codegen-1.0.0.jar;modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar io.swagger.codegen.SwaggerCodegen
Note the myClientCodegen is an option now, and you can use the usual arguments for generating your library:
java -cp output/myLibrary/target/myClientCodegen-swagger-codegen-1.0.0.jar:modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar \
io.swagger.codegen.SwaggerCodegen generate -l myClientCodegen\
-i https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
-o myClient
See also standalone generator development
Where is Javascript???
See our javascript library--it's completely dynamic and doesn't require static code generation. There is a third-party component called swagger-js-codegen that can generate angularjs or nodejs source code from a OpenAPI Specification.
Generating a client from local files
If you don't want to call your server, you can save the OpenAPI Spec files into a directory and pass an argument to the code generator like this:
-i ./modules/swagger-codegen/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.json
Great for creating libraries on your ci server, from the Swagger Editor... or while coding on an airplane.
Selective generation
You may not want to generate all models in your project. Likewise you may want just one or two apis to be written. If that's the case, you can use system properties to control the output:
The default is generate everything supported by the specific library. Once you enable a feature, it will restrict the contents generated:
# generate only models
java -Dmodels {opts}
# generate only apis
java -Dapis {opts}
# generate only supporting files
java -DsupportingFiles
# generate models and supporting files
java -Dmodels -DsupportingFiles
To control the specific files being generated, you can pass a CSV list of what you want:
# generate the User and Pet models only
-Dmodels=User,Pet
# generate the User model and the supportingFile `StringUtil.java`:
-Dmodels=User -DsupportingFiles=StringUtil.java
To control generation of docs and tests for api and models, pass false to the option. For api, these options are -DapiTests=false and -DapiDocs=false. For models, -DmodelTests=false and -DmodelDocs=false. These options default to true and don't limit the generation of the feature options listed above (like -Dapi):
# generate only models (with tests and documentation)
java -Dmodels {opts}
# generate only models (with tests but no documentation)
java -Dmodels -DmodelDocs=false {opts}
# generate only User and Pet models (no tests and no documentation)
java -Dmodels=User,Pet -DmodelTests=false {opts}
# generate only apis (without tests)
java -Dapis -DapiTests=false {opts}
# generate only apis (modelTests option is ignored)
java -Dapis -DmodelTests=false {opts}
When using selective generation, only the templates needed for the specific generation will be used.
Ignore file format
Swagger Codegen supports a .swagger-codegen-ignore file, similar to .gitignore or .dockerignore you're probably already familiar with.
The ignore file allows for better control over overwriting existing files than the --skip-overwrite flag. With the ignore file, you can specify individual files or directories can be ignored. This can be useful, for example if you only want a subset of the generated code.
Examples:
# Swagger Codegen Ignore
# Lines beginning with a # are comments
# This should match build.sh located anywhere.
build.sh
# Matches build.sh in the root
/build.sh
# Exclude all recursively
docs/**
# Explicitly allow files excluded by other rules
!docs/UserApi.md
# Recursively exclude directories named Api
# You can't negate files below this directory.
src/**/Api/
# When this file is nested under /Api (excluded above),
# this rule is ignored because parent directory is excluded by previous rule.
!src/**/PetApiTests.cs
# Exclude a single, nested file explicitly
src/IO.Swagger.Test/Model/AnimalFarmTests.cs
The .swagger-codegen-ignore file must exist in the root of the output directory.
Upon first code generation, you may also pass the CLI option --ignore-file-override=/path/to/ignore_file for greater control over generated outputs. Note that this is a complete override, and will override the .swagger-codegen-ignore file in an output directory when regenerating code.
Editor support for .swagger-codegen-ignore files is available in IntelliJ via the .ignore plugin.
Customizing the generator
There are different aspects of customizing the code generator beyond just creating or modifying templates. Each language has a supporting configuration file to handle different type mappings, etc:
$ ls -1 modules/swagger-codegen/src/main/java/io/swagger/codegen/languages/
AbstractJavaJAXRSServerCodegen.java
AbstractTypeScriptClientCodegen.java
... (results omitted)
TypeScriptAngularClientCodegen.java
TypeScriptNodeClientCodegen.java
Each of these files creates reasonable defaults so you can get running quickly. But if you want to configure package names, prefixes, model folders, etc. you can use a json config file to pass the values.
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate \
-i https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
-l java \
-o samples/client/petstore/java \
-c path/to/config.json
and config.json contains the following as an example:
{
"apiPackage" : "petstore"
}
Supported config options can be different per language. Running config-help -l {lang} will show available options. These options are applied via configuration file (e.g. config.json) or by passing them with java -jar swagger-codegen-cli.jar -D{optionName}={optionValue}. (If -D{optionName} does not work, please open a ticket and we'll look into it)
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar config-help -l java
Output
CONFIG OPTIONS
modelPackage
package for generated models
apiPackage
package for generated api classes
...... (results omitted)
library
library template (sub-template) to use:
jersey1 - HTTP client: Jersey client 1.18. JSON processing: Jackson 2.4.2
jersey2 - HTTP client: Jersey client 2.6
feign - HTTP client: Netflix Feign 8.1.1. JSON processing: Jackson 2.6.3
okhttp-gson (default) - HTTP client: OkHttp 2.4.0. JSON processing: Gson 2.3.1
retrofit - HTTP client: OkHttp 2.4.0. JSON processing: Gson 2.3.1 (Retrofit 1.9.0)
retrofit2 - HTTP client: OkHttp 2.5.0. JSON processing: Gson 2.4 (Retrofit 2.0.0-beta2)
google-api-client - HTTP client: google-api-client 1.23.0. JSON processing: Jackson 2.8.9
rest-assured - HTTP client: rest-assured : 3.1.0. JSON processing: Gson 2.6.1. Only for Java8
Your config file for Java can look like
{
"groupId": "com.my.company",
"artifactId": "MyClient",
"artifactVersion": "1.2.0",
"library": "feign"
}
For all the unspecified options default values will be used.
Another way to override default options is to extend the config class for the specific language. To change, for example, the prefix for the Objective-C generated files, simply subclass the ObjcClientCodegen.java:
package com.mycompany.swagger.codegen;
import io.swagger.codegen.languages.*;
public class MyObjcCodegen extends ObjcClientCodegen {
static {
PREFIX = "HELO";
}
}
and specify the classname when running the generator:
-l com.mycompany.swagger.codegen.MyObjcCodegen
Your subclass will now be loaded and overrides the PREFIX value in the superclass.
Bringing your own models
Sometimes you don't want a model generated. In this case, you can simply specify an import mapping to tell the codegen what not to create. When doing this, every location that references a specific model will refer back to your classes. Note, this may not apply to all languages...
To specify an import mapping, use the --import-mappings argument and specify the model-to-import logic as such:
--import-mappings Pet=my.models.MyPet
Or for multiple mappings:
--import-mappings Pet=my.models.MyPet,Order=my.models.MyOrder
or
--import-mappings Pet=my.models.MyPet --import-mappings Order=my.models.MyOrder
Validating your OpenAPI Spec
You have options. The easiest is to use our online validator which not only will let you validate your spec, but with the debug flag, you can see what's wrong with your spec. For example:
http://online.swagger.io/validator/debug?url=https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json
Generating dynamic html api documentation
To do so, just use the -l dynamic-html flag when reading a spec file. This creates HTML documentation that is available as a single-page application with AJAX. To view the documentation:
cd samples/dynamic-html/
npm install
node .
Which launches a node.js server so the AJAX calls have a place to go.
Generating static html api documentation
To do so, just use the -l html flag when reading a spec file. This creates a single, simple HTML file with embedded css so you can ship it as an email attachment, or load it from your filesystem:
cd samples/html/
open index.html
To build a server stub
Please refer to https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/wiki/Server-stub-generator-HOWTO for more information.
To build the codegen library
This will create the Swagger Codegen library from source.
mvn package
Note! The templates are included in the library generated. If you want to modify the templates, you'll need to either repackage the library OR specify a path to your scripts
Workflow Integration
Maven Integration
You can use the swagger-codegen-maven-plugin for integrating with your workflow, and generating any codegen target.
Gradle Integration
Gradle Swagger Generator Plugin is available for generating source code and API document.
GitHub Integration
To push the auto-generated SDK to GitHub, we provide git_push.sh to streamline the process. For example:
-
Create a new repository in GitHub (Ref: https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-new-repository/)
-
Generate the SDK
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate \
-i modules/swagger-codegen/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.json -l perl \
--git-user-id "swaggerapi" \
--git-repo-id "petstore-perl" \
--release-note "Github integration demo" \
-o /var/tmp/perl/petstore
- Push the SDK to GitHub
cd /var/tmp/perl/petstore
/bin/sh ./git_push.sh
Online generators
One can also generate API client or server using the online generators (https://generator.swagger.io)
For example, to generate Ruby API client, simply send the following HTTP request using curl:
curl -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" -d '{"swaggerUrl":"https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"}' https://generator.swagger.io/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 https://generator.swagger.io/api/gen/clients/{language} with the following HTTP body:
{
"options": {},
"swaggerUrl": "https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"
}
in which the options for a language can be obtained by submitting a GET request to https://generator.swagger.io/api/gen/clients/{language}:
For example, curl https://generator.swagger.io/api/gen/clients/python returns
{
"packageName": {
"opt": "packageName",
"description": "python package name (convention: snake_case).",
"type": "string",
"default": "swagger_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"
},
"swaggerUrl": "https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"
}
and here is the curl command:
curl -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"options": {"packageName": "pet_store"},"swaggerUrl": "https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"}' https://generator.swagger.io/api/gen/clients/python
Instead of using swaggerUrl with an URL to the OpenAPI/Swagger spec, one can include the spec in the JSON payload with spec, e.g.
{
"options": {},
"spec": {
"swagger": "2.0",
"info": {
"version": "1.0.0",
"title": "Test API"
},
...
}
}
