Generate a connector using OpenAPI

You can auto-generate a connector for an API if you have the OAS (OpenAPI 3.0 specification) file for it. See full list of supported features below.

To do this, simply run tray-cdk connector import [OPENAPI_SPEC] [CONNECTOR_NAME]

Where [OPENAPI_SPEC] is the path to your OAS specification and [CONNECTOR_NAME] is the name of the auto generated folder that will be created as a result.

You would be asked to enter the connector name in the terminal.

You should see the auto generated folder for your connector within the current folder.

If there are any errors in import, an errors.json file will be created in the folder you ran the above command.

An example errors.json is below:

[
  {
    "tag": "error",
    "httpMethod": "get",
    "path": "/core/v1/subscriptions",
    "errorMessage": "Failed to decode httpPath: /core/v1/subscriptions and method: get : Error: Expecting string at parameters.0.description but instead got: undefined, Expecting string at parameters.1.description but instead got: undefined, Expecting string at parameters.2.description but instead got: undefined"
  },
  ...
  Array of error objects
  ...
]
