Hey @mstade, we're going to deprecate fernapi/fern-typescript-browser-sdk
, our typescript sdk generator is universal so you should be able to use the node
one just fine.
Try fernapi/fern-typescript-node-sdk
Thanks @dsinghvi – that was another question I had actually!
I changed to fernapi/fern-typescript-node-sdk
but alas, it's still only outputting the source code.
To be honest only having the code is probably fine for our needs because we need to package our project slightly differently from how Fern does it anyway, but not having access to that metadata does make it more error prone of course.
If getting the generated files isn't possible, is it possible to otherwise export the project data Fern uses to generate these files?
Any updates on this? I can see the files being generated in the Docker container, and I've been retriveing details from them that way, but it'd be nice to not have to do this dance. Or if maybe the dependencies of the generated library can be documented somehwere.
Any updates on this?
Any updates? 🦗
@dsinghvi @dannysheridan I think this is where the issue lies: https://github.com/fern-api/fern/blob/27fb37831c91a466bb75e952b8c3a886f2efeb64/generators/typescript/utils/abstract-generator-cli/src/AbstractGeneratorCli.ts#L117-L129
As far as I can tell, the outputSourceFiles
option will literally do just that, output everything in src
. The only other option seems to be outputting what's in dist
– again, no project files like package.json etc. There is a copyProjectAsZipTo
function, which seems to package the whole project as output as opposed to just the src
or dist
directories, however this does not seem to be an option at all with local generation.
Can you confirm whether generating files locally will ever support also including package.json
? Without this the local generation option of the TS generator is basically a blind goose chase trying to figure out which dependencies the SDK requires, as this is not listed anywhere. Presumably this changes with the generator versions as well, which makes it a moving target, so even if you get it right for one version it won't necessarily apply for another?
Describe the Bug
Output from running the TypeScript generator with output
local-file-system
does not includepackage.json
and other project files. While this can be useful in so far as allowing greater project customization than thenpm
output target, it makes it much harder to keep up with things like managing the dependencies the SDK requires.Information to Reproduce
CLI Version
0.19.18
Generator Version
fernapi/fern-typescript-browser-sdk@0.12.7
Full
generators.yml
:API Definition
The minimal OpenAPI specification or Fern definition required to reproduce the bug.
Actual SDK
Only source files are included.
Expected SDK
Expected project files like
package.json
as well as the generated source code.Additional Context
If this behaviour is intentional, it should probably be documented here: https://docs.buildwithfern.com/generate-sd-ks/generators/type-script-node-js-sdk#local
