API Generation
Generate typed TypeScript API client from Go Swagger comments using swag + Orval.
Workflow
code
Go Handler → swag init → swagger.json → Orval → TypeScript Hooks
One Command for Everything
bash
make api
This executes:
- •
swag init→ Generatesbackend/docs/swagger.jsonfrom Go comments - •
orval→ Generates TypeScript Hooks infrontend/src/shared/api/
Adding a New Endpoint
Step 1: Go Handler with Swagger Comments
go
// internal/handler/product.go
// GetProducts godoc
// @Summary List all products
// @Description Get all products for the authenticated user
// @Tags products
// @Accept json
// @Produce json
// @Success 200 {array} ProductResponse
// @Failure 401 {object} ErrorResponse
// @Security BearerAuth
// @Router /products [get]
func (h *ProductHandler) GetProducts(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Implementation
}
// CreateProduct godoc
// @Summary Create a product
// @Description Create a new product
// @Tags products
// @Accept json
// @Produce json
// @Param request body CreateProductRequest true "Product data"
// @Success 201 {object} ProductResponse
// @Failure 400 {object} ErrorResponse
// @Failure 401 {object} ErrorResponse
// @Security BearerAuth
// @Router /products [post]
func (h *ProductHandler) CreateProduct(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Implementation
}
Step 2: Define Response/Request Types
go
// In handler or separate types.go
type ProductResponse struct {
ID string `json:"id" example:"prod_123"`
Name string `json:"name" example:"Widget"`
Price float64 `json:"price" example:"29.99"`
}
type CreateProductRequest struct {
Name string `json:"name" example:"Widget"`
Price float64 `json:"price" example:"29.99"`
}
Step 3: Generate API Client
bash
make api
Step 4: Use in Frontend
tsx
import { useGetProducts, usePostProducts } from "@/api/endpoints/products/products"
function ProductsPage() {
const { data, isLoading } = useGetProducts()
const createProduct = usePostProducts()
const handleCreate = () => {
createProduct.mutate({ data: { name: "New", price: 10 } })
}
return (...)
}
Swagger Annotation Reference
| Annotation | Description |
|---|---|
@Summary | Short description |
@Description | Detailed description |
@Tags | Grouping (becomes folder in endpoints/) |
@Accept | Request Content-Type |

@Success | Success response |
@Failure | Error response |
@Security | Auth requirement |
@Router | HTTP path and method |
Generated Files
code
frontend/src/shared/api/ ├── endpoints/ │ ├── products/ # Grouped by @Tags │ │ └── products.ts # useGetProducts, usePostProducts, etc. │ └── users/ │ └── users.ts ├── models/ # TypeScript Types └── custom-fetch.ts # Fetch Wrapper with Auth
Important Rules
- •Never manually edit generated files
- •Always run
make apiafter handler changes - •Tags become folder names →
@Tags products→endpoints/products/ - •operationId is automatically generated from Router path
