Swagger CodeGen

[esco]

Are there any plans on making an SDK generator for iOS similar to loopback-sdk-angular?

[alessandrostone]

+10 for that

I'm thinking to work on this after updating the model hierarchy to 2.0: #40

I just read that the swagger codegen project has support for swift SDK generation. Is this something that you guys plan to incorporate? If not, is there some downside to using the swagger generator on iOS? As you guys probably have a lot of experience with swagger It would be great to get your input on this matter. Is it a good idea and if so how do we start?

@Vincentjonssonqi , thanks for the info! I didn't realize that the swagger codegen has support for swift. @raymondfeng @bajtos , would you give us any input on this?

[bajtos]

I think we need somebody to check what's the output of swagger codegen and see how much information was lost along the way, i.e. how much value can a custom LoopBack codegen add.

@Vincentjonssonqi, would you give me a pointer to the description on the swagger codegen project's swift SDK generation support? (I've searched but couldn't find)

@bajtos, I've added a new Issue strongloop-community/loopback-sdk-ios-codegen#3 for the discussion.

@hideya Did you find out anything on that, I'm also quite curious what the generated SDK might look like.

[hideya]

@kgoedecke no, I haven't found anything about the swagger codegen's support for swift yet. FYI, Obj-C codegen has started working, although it is fairly primitive at this moment. I thought you might want to take a look.

[kgoedecke]

@hideya interesting... I think swagger.io is the way to go on the long run, for now I guess we have to stick to the regular SDK.

[hideya]

@kgoedecke I was a bit blind -- https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen does have SwiftCodegen.java. Yeah, I agree it is the way to go. I will take a look into it.
