OpenAPI TypeScript provides plugins for popular web frameworks, generating type-safe server and client code tailored to each framework’s conventions.

Available Frameworks

Angular

Generate HTTP requests and resources for Angular applications

Fastify

Generate type-safe route handlers for Fastify servers

How Framework Plugins Work

Framework plugins analyze your OpenAPI specification and generate code that integrates seamlessly with your chosen framework:
  1. Type Generation - Creates TypeScript types for requests, responses, and parameters
  2. Framework Integration - Generates code using framework-specific patterns and APIs
  3. Type Safety - Ensures compile-time type checking for your API implementation
  4. Developer Experience - Provides autocomplete and inline documentation

Choosing a Framework Plugin

Angular Plugin

Use the @angular/common plugin when building Angular applications. It generates:
  • HTTP Requests - HttpRequest instances for use with Angular’s HTTP client
  • HTTP Resources - Resource APIs using Angular’s new httpResource API
  • Injectable Services - Classes decorated with @Injectable for dependency injection
Requires Angular 18+ for httpResource support. Use httpRequests for older versions.

Fastify Plugin

Use the fastify plugin when building Fastify servers. It generates:
  • Route Handlers - Type-safe handler signatures matching your API operations
  • Request Typing - Body, query, path, and header parameter types
  • Response Typing - Success and error response types

Common Configuration

All framework plugins support standard plugin options:
openapi-ts.config.ts

Standard Options

boolean
default:false
Whether to export generated code from the main index.ts entry file.
boolean
