Support for OpenApi Generator's graceful generator?

[anlcnydn]

While, I have been searching around contract-first development approach, I encountered OpenApi Generator. Basically, it can create client and server boilerplate codes for a given api spec. After generation process, only thing that needs to be done is implement the controller methods themselves.

Do we think of contributing to OpenApi Generator project for a new generator of graceful?

I did not analyze it deeply, but what I understand after a quick look is that, it can be pretty straightforward to generate serializers and controllers, as their structure will already be defined in the contract.

This may move the developer experience of graceful to an another level?

What do you guys think about it? Is it worth to give a shot?

Cheers.

I really don't know. I'm not convinced to code generators of that type so probably won't dedicate any time for this. But if someone has energy and time to do this kind of contribution I'm willing to help with suggestions like typical application layout or accept contributions to the codebase of graceful if something like that is required.

To be honest I was already thinking about something completely opposite. I wanted to replace internal documentation format returned on OPTIONS handler with OpenAPI compliant documentation generator.

During last year I didn't use graceful that much and instead experimented with different tools (pact, redoc), libraries (marshmallow), frameworks (aiohttp) and standards (OpenAPI, API Blueprint, JSON API) to better understand how this project should further evolve and whether there's a place for it in Python web services ecosystem. Now I'm pretty sure that Open API is a must.
