- Add Orval-based code generation from existing OpenAPI 3 specification - Generate 80+ API functions and 58+ TypeScript types automatically - Integrate custom Axios client with existing auth system and organization context - Add RTK Query integration bridge for seamless React component usage - Include CI/CD workflow for automatic regeneration on spec changes - Eliminate manual API wrapper maintenance overhead completely - Ensure perfect synchronization between backend and frontend APIs Closes raghavyuva#231
WalkthroughAdds a GitHub Actions workflow that builds and runs the Go API server, extracts the OpenAPI spec, and auto-generates a TypeScript API client via Orval; adds Orval config, package scripts/deps to run generation during dev/build, and a new API client documentation file. Changes

@pankajydv07 : Hey this is really nice work!! Can you explore how we can push this as NPM/Yarn package instead of having it as part of the code base? It will be simple change in that case to add package into our dependencies and use it and also helps exposing it as SDK. |
also, I see some changes which are not in the scope of the PR, could you revert that? |

Can you specify what changes i need to revert? Did you mean changes in Changelog.md ,version.txt and package.json in root folder? |
Ok, I will look into it. |
Changes in package.json, package-lock.json Changelog.md, version.txt and other markdown files added, also example usage.. You add example usage as part of the PR description.. |

Sure, how have you tested this? To test it, you can write a simple script separately for login, or other basic APIs already in place, and see if they are getting invoked properly with the SDK code. I still see some anomalies, like how will we be passing custom headers for Authorization or X-Org-ID in ApI calls define in the SDK? Last thing is, we wouldn't want that generated code to be part of our codebase rather push it as npm package, which will be extension in the GitHub workflow you have added. |
I tested this with a dedicated script (
On the headers part — that’s already handled. The interceptors pull tokens and org IDs from For the packaging part, I agree — the SDK is fully functional now as-is, but publishing it as an NPM package would make the setup cleaner and more reusable. Do you want me to share the test script for review first, or should I move ahead with implementing the NPM package workflow directly? |
Ok let me thread on discord, let's discuss this further from there? You can share the script there itself. Let's continue our conversation there. |
Keeping this on PARKED for now. |
