Generate Models Using OpenAPI With Lombok Annotations

Date: 2023-11-17

This article demonstrates how to generate Java models from OpenAPI specifications using Lombok annotations. OpenAPI defines APIs, while Lombok reduces boilerplate code by automatically generating getters, setters, and constructors. The process involves setting up a Spring Boot project with specific Maven dependencies and an OpenAPI specification (e.g., petstore.yaml). A command then generates Java model files (Pet.java, Error.java) incorporating Lombok annotations. This simplifies model creation and enhances code readability. Currently, this approach is limited to model generation; controller and service generation is not covered.
