OpenAPI React Query Codegen

Node.js library that generates React Query (also called TanStack Query) hooks based on an OpenAPI specification file.

Features

• Generates custom react hooks that use React Query's useQuery, useSuspenseQuery, useMutation and useInfiniteQuery hooks
• Generates query keys and functions for query caching
• Generates pure TypeScript clients generated by @hey-api/openapi-ts

Installation

$ npm install -D @7nohe/openapi-react-query-codegen

Register the command to the scripts property in your package.json file.

{
  "scripts": {
    "codegen": "openapi-rq -i ./petstore.yaml -c axios"
  }
}

You can also run the command without installing it in your project using the npx command.

$ npx --package @7nohe/openapi-react-query-codegen openapi-rq -i ./petstore.yaml -c axios

Usage

$ openapi-rq --help

Usage: openapi-rq [options]

Generate React Query code based on OpenAPI

Output directory structure

- openapi
  - queries
    - index.ts <- main file that exports common types, variables, and queries. Does not export suspense or prefetch hooks
    - common.ts <- common types
    - queries.ts <- generated query hooks
    - suspenses.ts <- generated suspense hooks
    - prefetch.ts <- generated prefetch hooks learn more about prefetching in in link below
  - requests <- output code generated by @hey-api/openapi-ts

In your app

Using the generated hooks

// App.tsx
import { usePetServiceFindPetsByStatus } from "../openapi/queries";
function App() {
  const { data } = usePetServiceFindPetsByStatus({ status: ["available"] });

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1>Pet List</h1>
      <ul>{data?.map((pet) => <li key={pet.id}>{pet.name}</li>)}</ul>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Using the generated typescript client

import { useQuery } from "@tanstack/react-query";
import { PetService } from "../openapi/requests/services";
import { usePetServiceFindPetsByStatusKey } from "../openapi/queries";

function App() {
  // You can still use the auto-generated query key
  const { data } = useQuery({
    queryKey: [usePetServiceFindPetsByStatusKey],
    queryFn: () => {
      // Do something here
      return PetService.findPetsByStatus(["available"]);
    },
  });

  return <div className="App">{/* .... */}</div>;
}

export default App;

Using Suspense Hooks

// App.tsx
import { useDefaultClientFindPetsSuspense } from "../openapi/queries/suspense";
function ChildComponent() {
  const { data } = useDefaultClientFindPetsSuspense({ tags: [], limit: 10 });

  return <ul>{data?.map((pet, index) => <li key={pet.id}>{pet.name}</li>)}</ul>;
}

function ParentComponent() {
  return (
    <>
      <Suspense fallback={<>loading...</>}>
        <ChildComponent />
      </Suspense>
    </>
  );
}

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1>Pet List</h1>
      <ParentComponent />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Using Mutation hooks

// App.tsx
import { usePetServiceAddPet } from "../openapi/queries";

function App() {
  const { mutate } = usePetServiceAddPet();

  const handleAddPet = () => {
    mutate({ name: "Fluffy", status: "available" });
  };

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1>Add Pet</h1>
      <button onClick={handleAddPet}>Add Pet</button>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Invalidating queries after mutation

Invalidating queries after a mutation is important to ensure the cache is updated with the new data. This is done by calling the queryClient.invalidateQueries function with the query key used by the query hook.

Learn more about invalidating queries here.

To ensure the query key is created the same way as the query hook, you can use the query key function exported by the generated query hooks.

import {
  usePetServiceFindPetsByStatus,
  usePetServiceAddPet,
  UsePetServiceFindPetsByStatusKeyFn,
} from "../openapi/queries";

// App.tsx
function App() {
  const [status, setStatus] = React.useState(["available"]);
  const { data } = usePetServiceFindPetsByStatus({ status });
  const { mutate } = usePetServiceAddPet({
    onSuccess: () => {
      queryClient.invalidateQueries({
        // Call the query key function to get the query key
        // This is important to ensure the query key is created the same way as the query hook
        // This insures the cache is invalidated correctly and is typed correctly
        queryKey: [UsePetServiceFindPetsByStatusKeyFn({
          status
        })],
      });
    },
  });

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1>Pet List</h1>
      <ul>{data?.map((pet) => <li key={pet.id}>{pet.name}</li>)}</ul>
      <button
        onClick={() => {
          mutate({ name: "Fluffy", status: "available" });
        }}
      >
        Add Pet
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Using Infinite Query hooks

This feature will generate a function in infiniteQueries.ts when the name specified by the pageParam option exists in the query parameters and the name specified by the nextPageParam option exists in the response.

Example Schema:

paths:
  /paginated-pets:
    get:
      description: |
        Returns paginated pets from the system that the user has access to
      operationId: findPaginatedPets
      parameters:
        - name: page
          in: query
          description: page number
          required: false
          schema:
            type: integer
            format: int32
        - name: tags
          in: query
          description: tags to filter by
          required: false
          style: form
          schema:
            type: array
            items:
              type: string
        - name: limit
          in: query
          description: maximum number of results to return
          required: false
          schema:
            type: integer
            format: int32
      responses:
        '200':
          description: pet response
          content:
            application/json:
              schema:
                type: object
                properties:
                  pets:
                    type: array
                    items:
                      $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'
                  nextPage: 
                    type: integer
                    format: int32
                    minimum: 1

Usage of Generated Hooks:

import { useDefaultServiceFindPaginatedPetsInfinite } from "@/openapi/queries/infiniteQueries";

const { data, fetchNextPage } = useDefaultServiceFindPaginatedPetsInfinite({
  limit: 10,
  tags: [],
});

Runtime Configuration

You can modify the default values used by the generated service calls by modifying the OpenAPI configuration singleton object.

It's default location is openapi/requests/core/OpenAPI.ts and it is also exported from openapi/index.ts

Import the constant into your runtime and modify it before setting up the react app.

/** main.tsx */
import { OpenAPI as OpenAPIConfig } from './openapi/requests/core/OpenAPI';
...
OpenAPIConfig.BASE = 'www.domain.com/api';
OpenAPIConfig.HEADERS = {
  'x-header-1': 'value-1',
  'x-header-2': 'value-2',
};
...
ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root") as HTMLElement).render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
      <App />
    </QueryClientProvider>
  </React.StrictMode>
);
