  -v ${PWD}:/local \
  openapitools/openapi-generator-cli generate \
  -i /local/fdc_api.yaml \
  -g typescript-axios \
  -o /local/

Example usage:

import { Configuration } from './configuration';
import {FDCApi} from './index';


const api: FDCApi = new FDCApi(new Configuration({
    apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
    basePath: 'https://api.nal.usda.gov/fdc'
}));

api.getFood('170989', 'abridged', [203,204])
.then((res) => console.log(res.data))
.catch((e) => console.log(e));
