This repo contains an example of how to use TypeSpec to generate an OpenAPI document, and how to use that document to create an SDK.

You'll need the TypeSpec compiler and Speakeasy CLI installed to generate the OpenAPI document and SDK.

Install the TypeSpec compiler and CLI using the following command:

npm install -g @typespec/compiler

Test that the CLI is installed correctly by running the following command:

tsc --version

To create an SDK, you will need to install the Speakeasy CLI.

On macOS, you can install the Speakeasy CLI using the following command:

brew install speakeasy-api/homebrew-tap/speakeasy

Authenticate with Speakeasy using the following command:

speakeasy auth login

The main.tsp file contains the TypeSpec definitions for a simple bookstore API. You can update this file to add more endpoints or modify the existing ones.

To generate the OpenAPI document, run the following command:

tsp compile main.tsp --emit @typespec/openapi3

This will generate an OpenAPI document at tsp-output/@typespec/openapi3/openapi.1.0.0.yaml.

To create an SDK from the OpenAPI document, run the following command:

speakeasy generate sdk \              
    --schema tsp-output/@typespec/openapi3/openapi.1.0.0.yaml \
    --lang typescript \
    --out ./sdks/bookstore-ts

This will create a TypeScript SDK in the sdks/bookstore-ts directory.

While TypeSpec is in active development, you may wish to add customizations to the created SDK. You can do this using OpenAPI overlays.

The bookstore-overlay.yaml file contains an example overlay that adds complete examples to the Book and Magazine schemas.

To apply the overlay and create a customized SDK, run the following commands:

# Validate the overlay
speakeasy overlay validate -o bookstore-overlay.yaml

# Apply the overlay
speakeasy overlay apply -s tsp-output/@typespec/openapi3/openapi.1.0.0.yaml -o bookstore-overlay.yaml > combined-openapi.yaml

# Regenerate the SDK
speakeasy generate sdk \              
    --schema combined-openapi.yaml \
    --lang typescript \
    --out ./sdks/bookstore-ts

This will create a TypeScript SDK in the sdks/bookstore-ts directory with the customizations from the overlay applied.
