What are you using instead of Swagger for Vue API projects?

When building Vue applications that consume REST APIs, keeping API documentation and frontend integration aligned can become challenging as projects grow.

We've been reviewing different approaches for managing API workflows and wondering what the Vue community is using today.

Some things we're looking for:

OpenAPI support
Easy API documentation maintenance
API mocking for frontend development
API testing before integration
Keeping frontend teams aligned with backend changes
CI/CD integration

Swagger/OpenAPI tools have been useful for documenting APIs, but we're interested in workflows that go beyond documentation and help with the complete API lifecycle.

For Vue projects, I'm curious:

Are you still using Swagger-based tools?
What alternatives have you tried?
How do you handle API documentation and testing during development?
Do you generate API clients from OpenAPI specifications?

Would love to hear what workflows and tools have worked well for your Vue projects.

At work and for my hobby projects, I use Scalar to see the API documentation. It has Vue, asp.net.core, docker, .. integrations
our open api scheme with requests and responses is automatically generated with the build-in asp net core open api generator.

To generate the typescript client for usage in vue, we use Orval.
