How to create static javascript api about swagger-codegen

[fehguy]

Hi, currently there is no static javascript generator, but you could certainly create one. I'll leave this open as a feature, but sorry, there isn't a generator right now.

will address in the 2.1.0-M2 milestone

It looks like this probably fell out of scope at some point. My team would really love to see this working (as well as an Angular $resource based generator).

@jdhiro I wrote something to do this a while back. But it's a bit intertwined in other code and I never bothered to extract it. Also, I just used the $http service directly, not $resource. Recently been wondering if swagger-codgen supports static javascript yet and come across this link, have you tried it? https://github.com/wcandillon/swagger-js-codegen

I've written an npm package that can accomplish the original intent of this ticket:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/swagger-client-standalone

This package builds all of the NPM dependencies, the swagger spec, and swagger client all into one JS file. I use it in places where I can only use UMD-style includes. Because modular javascript doesn't work well in UMD environments, I opted to bundle it together.

@mozey I haven't tried that project yet, but I was going to. They don't support $resource yet either.

@who Yeah, I'm making a library/SDK, so I'm basically just doing a require('swagger.json') and bundling it all up. This really just makes the runtime library superfluous though.

Good lord, I just realized that this approach is adding over 300kb to my library. That is not an option.

@jfiala has created a JS API client generator, which has been merged into master. Please pull the latest master and give it a try.
