Generate Application from OpenAPI Spec

Your goal is to generate a complete, working application from an OpenAPI specification using the active framework's conventions and best practices.

Input Requirements

1. OpenAPI Specification: Provide either:

   • A URL to the OpenAPI spec (e.g., https://api.example.com/openapi.json)
   • A local file path to the OpenAPI spec
   • The full OpenAPI specification content pasted directly

2. Project Details (if not in spec):

   • Project name and description
   • Target framework and version
   • Package/namespace naming conventions
   • Authentication method (if not specified in OpenAPI)

Generation Process

Step 1: Analyze the OpenAPI Specification

• Validate the OpenAPI spec for completeness and correctness
• Identify all endpoints, HTTP methods, request/response schemas
• Extract authentication requirements and security schemes
• Note data model relationships and constraints
• Flag any ambiguities or incomplete definitions

Step 2: Design Application Architecture

• Plan directory structure appropriate for the framework
• Identify controller/handler grouping by resource or domain
• Design service layer organization for business logic
• Plan data models and entity relationships
• Design configuration and initialization strategy

Step 3: Generate Application Code

• Create project structure with build/package configuration files
• Generate models/DTOs from OpenAPI schemas
• Generate controllers/handlers with route mappings
• Generate service layer with business logic
• Generate repository/data access layer if applicable
• Add error handling, validation, and logging
• Generate configuration and startup code

Step 4: Add Supporting Files

• Generate appropriate unit tests for services and controllers
• Create README with setup and running instructions
• Add .localdocs and environment configuration templates
• Generate API documentation files
• Create example requests/integration tests

Output Structure

The generated application will include:

project-name/
├── README.md
├── [build-config]
├── src/
│   ├── main/
│   │   ├── [language]/
│   │   │   ├── controllers/

Best Practices Applied

• Framework Conventions: Follows framework-specific naming, structure, and patterns
• Separation of Concerns: Clear layers with controllers, services, and repositories
• Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling with meaningful responses
• Validation: Input validation and schema validation throughout
• Logging: Structured logging for debugging and monitoring
• Testing: Unit tests for services and controllers
• Documentation: Inline code documentation and setup instructions
• Security: Implements authentication/authorization from OpenAPI spec
• Scalability: Design patterns support growth and maintenance

Questions to Ask if Needed

• Should the application include database/ORM setup, or just in-memory/mock data?
• Do you want Docker configuration for containerization?
• Should authentication be JWT, OAuth2, API keys, or basic auth?
• Do you need integration tests or just unit tests?
• Any specific database technology preferences?
• Should the API include pagination, filtering, and sorting examples?
