How to add a generator for a new language or framework

Where to start?

To add an API client generator for a new language (e.g. Go), we would recommend going through the following PR as a starting point:

• [Go] Add Go API client generator #1747

To add a server stub generator for a new framework (e.g. Haskell Servant), please go through the following PRs:

• Code generator for haskell-servant framework #2009
• [aspnet] Initial implementation of ASP.NET 5 server #2024

If you need any assistance, please open a ticket

Checklist (a list of items we look for in the new generator):

• Tests Cases
• Shell script under ./bin/ to generate Petstore sample
• Windows batch file under .\bin\windows\ to generate Petstore sample
• Unit testing for Petstore sample (e.g. unit tests for PHP Petstore SDk)
• A simple test script/app to test Petstore (e.g. test.php) to serve as a starting point for developers to easily play with the auto-generated SDK
• Documentation
• Auto-generated README.md to explain the usage of the SDK
• DocString for methods and models

For new generator naming, we prefer snake_case, e.g. swift3 instead of Swift3, erlang-server instead of ErlangServer.

This is not to say all the above is a must in order for the new generator to be added. If you need help implementing the above, please open a ticket and we'll help on that
