v2.4.0: OpenAPI Overlay, improved `import-mapping` functionality, and a whole host of other great things 🚀

🎉 Notable changes

Modifying the input OpenAPI Specification, without needing to modify it directly

Prior to oapi-codegen v2.4.0, users wishing to override specific configuration, for instance taking advantage of extensions such as x-go-type would need to modify the OpenAPI specification they are using.

In a lot of cases, this OpenAPI specification would be produced by a different team to the consumers (or even a different company) and so asking them to make changes like this were unreasonable.

This would lead to the API consumers needing to vendor the specification from the producer (which is our recommendation anyway) and then make any number of local changes to the specification to make it generate code that looks reasonable.

However, in the case that a consumer would update their specification, they would likely end up with a number of merge conflicts.

Now, as of oapi-codegen v2.4.0, it is now possible to make changes to the input OpenAPI specification without needing to modify it directly.

This takes advantage of the OpenAPI Overlay specification, which is a stable specification.

We're very excited for y'all to be able to take advantage of this, and to be able to manipulate complex specifications you don't have control over.

Using a single package, with multiple OpenAPI spec for a given package

Since oapi-codegen v2.4.0, it is now possible to split large OpenAPI specifications into the same Go package, using the "self" mapping (denoted by a -) when using Import Mapping.

This is an improvement on the previous model, which would require splitting files across multiple packages.

This should improve the ability to use a multi-file OpenAPI specification.

Reverting a breaking change to Strict servers using text/plain

Changes in #1132 had unintended side effects, and so we have reverted this.

This will be a breaking change to anyone who had pulled in this change, since it landed in v1.13.1.

Minimum version of Go needed for oapi-codegen is now 1.21

Does what it says on the tin.

This was required for a new dependency, and given Go 1.21 is now End-of-Life, this isn't too bad a requirement, without requiring folks unnecessarily bump their minimum supported version higher.

Starting work towards the OpenSSF Best Practices badge

As a means to better understand the compliance of oapi-codegen with OpenSSF's Best Practices guide, we've started work towards the "passing" badge.

OpenSSF Best Practices

This gives us some insight into where we have gaps, and makes it known for our users, too.

PR Builds now have required status checks

Previously, PR builds did not have a required status check.

Although as maintainers we would only merge changes after the CI checks had passed, this now gives us - and you as our users - greater confidence in the stability of the project.

Previously raised PRs - before 2024-09-20 - will need to merge in the latest changes in main before these status checks will pass.

With this version, oapi-codegen consolidates all code under github.com/oapi-codegen. When you install the core tool, please use this new location, github.com/oapi-codegen/oapi-codegen/v2 starting with version v2.3.0, but continue to use github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen/v2 with any earlier release.

This release contains changes to import paths, go.mod and the README.

Big announcements

In case you've missed it, we've got a few big announcements as maintainers of oapi-codegen which we'd recommend you read in more depth.

We'd also like to thank our sponsors for this release:

DevZero logo

🔊 Notable features

The v2.2.0 release was largely focussed on the following big changes, alongside a number of other bug fixes.

Generate a pure Go 1.22+ net/http server

With Go 1.22+'s enhanced routing, it's now easier than ever to be able to write a pure-Go HTTP service, and thanks to a contribution from @thedadams we now have a std-http-server, further documented in the Supported Servers section in the README.

Note

Not seeing this working, i.e. seeing a 404 page not found? Make sure that the go directive in your project's go.mod is updated!

In the future we're going to see if we can preemptively warn you if you're not quite set up correctly.

Documentation overhaul

A significant undertaking in this release was to rewrite pretty much every line of documentation we had, as well as introducing a number of additional examples and test cases.

We're excited to hear your feedback on the new structure of the README, the additional docs added, and whether there are any additional examples that may be of use.

JSON Schema configuration

In the spirit of documentation, we now also have a JSON schema which can be found further documented in the Usage section in the README.

This not only gives a separate definition of fields and their meaning, but it can be used with IDEs for autocompletion and validation, allowing for a much better Developer Experience.

kin-openapi upgrade

A few big upgrades have come in kin-openapi, which we use for the underlying OpenAPI parsing and validation, which included a significant breaking change that meant that consumers of oapi-codegen couldn't upgrade the kin-openapi version until we had made changes in oapi-codegen.

This has additionally been set up as an FAQ as it's one we commonly get.

v2.1.0: Nullable, external reference improvements, x-order, and many more!

25 Jan 15:02

🔊 Notable features

Nullable types

It's possible that you want to be able to determine whether a field isn't sent, is sent as null or has a value.

For instance, if you had the following OpenAPI property:

S:
  type: object
  properties:
    Field:
      type: string
      nullable: true
    required: []

The current behaviour in oapi-codegen is to generate:

type S struct {
	Field *string `json:"field,omitempty"`
}

However, you lose the ability to understand the three cases, as there's no way to distinguish two of the types from each other:

  • is this field not sent? (Can be checked with S.Field == nil)
  • is this field null? (Can be checked with S.Field == nil)
  • does this field have a value? (S.Field != nil && *S.Field == "123")

Therefore, as requested in #1039, this is now possible to represent with the nullable.Nullable type from our new library, oapi-codegen/nullable.

If you configure your generator's Output Options as so:

output-options:
  nullable-type: true

You will now receive the following output:

type S struct {
    Field nullable.Nullable[string] `json:"field,omitempty"`
}

Note that this is opt-in only, due to it being a break in existing signatures and behaviour.

You can find out more about how this works in a blog post with further details.

External references are now handled better

A big change has come in which handling of external references (also called import mappings) is much more resilient and predictable for generated code.

This allows cases where multiple files referencing each other (for instance if you've split your API across multiple files, and join them using $refs) now correctly generate code.

There are a few cases that won't be covered, that we'll complete in #1440 but until then, it hopefully should work better.

Thank you to Ejendomstorvet for sponsoring this work.

v2.0.0: Remove deprecated packages

31 Oct 20:13
Compare
Choose a tag to compare

As announced in oapi-codegen v2 is coming, this is a release to perform some cleanup, drastically reducing the dependency graph for users of the library, and migrating to multi-repo middleware and utility packages that can evolve separately to the code generator itself.

There's more details in https://www.jvt.me/posts/2023/10/23/oapi-codegen-v2-decrease/ in the exact benefits ??, but the key metrics you will be interested in seeing are:

Before (v1.13.0) After (v2.0.0)
Vendored dependency size (MB) 40 6
Direct dependencies 15 6
Indirect dependencies 95 34

Key changes

Full Changelog: v1.16.2...v2.0.0

As a consumer, for the most part you shouldn't have much to do, as if you've been using oapi-codegen v1.15.0 or later, you should be using the new packages.

If you use this as a library or execute it as part of go run you will need to update module import paths:

-//go:generate go run github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen/cmd/oapi-codegen --config=config.yaml spec.yaml
+//go:generate go run github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen/v2/cmd/oapi-codegen --config=config.yaml spec.yaml

If you're installing the package via go install, you'll need to run the following instead:

-go install github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen/cmd/oapi-codegen@latest
+go install github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen/v2/cmd/oapi-codegen@latest

Move pkg/testutil to its own package + remove it

Similar to the below changes, we've moved pkg/testutil to its own package, and removed it from the codebase.

The changes for you as a consumer can be seen here.

This is almost a drop in replacement, the key difference is that there is no longer a RequestBuilder.Go method, as it is replaced by the RequestBuilder.GoWithHTTPHandler.

Remove deprecated packages:

For the packages:

  • pkg/chi-middleware
  • pkg/fiber-middleware
  • pkg/gin-middleware
  • pkg/middleware
  • pkg/runtime
  • pkg/types

These have been deprecated because they are now hosted as individual modules at https://github.com/oapi-codegen/. Doing so allows for their dependencies to be separated from each other, so your transitive module dependencies decrease. Any code which you generate using v1.15.0 will already refer to these modules in their new location.

v1.15.0: Remove issues with Go 1.21

Go Toolchain issues

As flagged in #1221, folks using Go 1.21 for their local builds - but maybe not targeting Go 1.21, will have been receiving diffs like:

 diff --git a/examples/go.mod b/examples/go.mod
index 4b815bd..929a5b6 100644
--- a/examples/go.mod
+++ b/examples/go.mod
@@ -1,6 +1,8 @@
 module github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen/examples
 
-go 1.20
+go 1.21
+
+toolchain go1.21.0

This is due to changes in Go 1.21's management of toolchains, and is a side effect of Fiber and Iris targeting Go 1.21.

These dependencies have now been downgraded to requiring 1.20, and we've taken steps as maintainers to reduce the impact in the future, so we should only be targeting the lowest Go version supported by the Go team.
