ARGUMENTS:
[URL or input file] URL or file path to OpenAPI Specification file
OPTIONS:
DEFAULT
-h, --help Prints help information
-v, --version Prints version information
-s, --settings-file Path to .refitter settings file. Specifying this will ignore all other settings (except for --output)
-n, --namespace GeneratedCode Default namespace to use for generated types
-o, --output Output.cs Path to Output file
--no-auto-generated-header Don't add <auto-generated> header to output file
--no-accept-headers Don't add <Accept> header to output file
--interface-only Don't generate contract types
--use-api-response Return Task<IApiResponse<T>> instead of Task<T>
--use-observable-response Return IObservable instead of Task
--internal Set the accessibility of the generated types to 'internal'
--cancellation-tokens Use cancellation tokens
--no-operation-headers Don't generate operation headers
--no-logging Don't log errors or collect telemetry
--additional-namespace Add additional namespace to generated types
--use-iso-date-format Explicitly format date query string parameters in ISO 8601 standard date format using delimiters (2023-06-15)
--multiple-interfaces Generate a Refit interface for each endpoint. May be one of ByEndpoint, ByTag
--match-path Only include Paths that match the provided regular expression. May be set multiple times
--tag Only include Endpoints that contain this tag. May be set multiple times and result in OR'ed evaluation
--skip-validation Skip validation of the OpenAPI specification
--no-deprecated-operations Don't generate deprecated operations
--operation-name-template Generate operation names using pattern. When using --multiple-interfaces ByEndpoint, this is name of the Execute() method in the interface
--optional-nullable-parameters Generate nullable parameters as optional parameters
--trim-unused-schema Removes unreferenced components schema to keep the generated output to a minimum
--keep-schema Force to keep matching schema, uses regular expressions. Use together with "--trim-unused-schema". Can be set multiple times
--no-banner Don't show donation banner
--skip-default-additional-properties Set to true to skip default additional properties
--operation-name-generator Default The NSwag IOperationNameGenerator implementation to use.
May be one of:
- Default
- MultipleClientsFromOperationId
- MultipleClientsFromPathSegments
- MultipleClientsFromFirstTagAndOperationId
- MultipleClientsFromFirstTagAndOperationName
- MultipleClientsFromFirstTagAndPathSegments
- SingleClientFromOperationId
- SingleClientFromPathSegments
See https://refitter.github.io/api/Refitter.Core.OperationNameGeneratorTypes.html for more information
To generate code from an OpenAPI specifications file, run the following:
refitter [path to OpenAPI spec file] --namespace "[Your.Namespace.Of.Choice.GeneratedCode]"
This will generate a file called Output.cs
which contains the Refit interface and contract classes generated using NSwag
The settings file uses the .refitter file format
Refitter supports .NET versions with current long-term support (6.0 and 8.0)
