How to generate code from OpenAPI definition with Visual Studio 2019 - Code4IT

Wouldn't it be nice if Visual Studio could autogenerate clients for external API? It is actually possible, if they expose an OpenAPI file. Let's see how!

Hi Davide,

Thank you for this article! We've been using swaggerhub to generate C# code from a third-party yaml file, but the swaggerhub code targets Newtonsoft.Json 105 - not the more recent version. So it was great to discover that VS itself can read yaml and generate C# but using the more up-to-date Newtonsoft.Json. We don't have to rely on swaggerhub for our C# code any more.

We were able to generate the code, but the nine method names are all {controllername}1Async through {controllername}9Async. Our JSON looks like yours as far as I can tell. Did you do anything special, like decorate the methods, to get it to generate sensible method names?
