OpenAPI generator for NextJS

Question

I have a NextJS project which uses the /api path for implementation of our API. We use an openapi.yaml file to define the interface. The following command generates the API client and works great:

openapi-generator-cli generate -i data/api/openapi.yaml -o src/api/openapi -g typescript-fetch

I am now trying to generate the stubs for implementing the server side of the API (which should be called under the /api). I tried the following which shows an error:

openapi-generator-cli generate -i data/api/openapi.yaml -o src/api/openapi -g next

This is because it cannot find a 'next' generator:

Can't load config class with name 'next' Available: ... here comes a list of generators

I noticed that there is a typescript-node generator but my project uses Next.JS and not plain node. Is there a way to re-use the node generator or another way?

Answer 1

As of 21th of September 2023 there is no server generator for Next.js.

It is not possible to reuse that standard Node generator without heavy alterations.

You can find a list of server generators in the documentation.
