swagger-codegen: Generate documentation and code from an OpenAPI/swagger file.
$ swagger-codegen generate -i ${swagger_file} -l ${language}
try on your machine

This command is used to generate code from a Swagger specification file using the Swagger Codegen tool.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • swagger-codegen: This is the command to execute the Swagger Codegen tool.
  • generate: This is the sub-command of the Swagger Codegen tool for code generation.
  • -i ${swagger_file}: This option specifies the input Swagger file for code generation. ${swagger_file} is a placeholder for the actual file path of the Swagger specification file.
  • -l ${language}: This option specifies the target programming language for code generation. ${language} is a placeholder for the desired language, such as Java, Python, Ruby, etc.

By running this command with the appropriate values for ${swagger_file} and ${language}, the Swagger Codegen tool will process the Swagger specification file and generate the necessary code files based on the chosen language.
