How to use

For use correctly this package you must pass at least two argument: an input (inputhPath or inputUrl) & an output at create-models command.

Example:

 $ create-models -u https://generator.swagger.io/api/swagger.json -o ./models

Script generate a new folder named as the last string of the output parameter. Into this folder, generate two type of files: baseModel and Model.

• models 🗂
  • baseModels 🗂
    • BaseJack 📃
    • BaseSusy 📃
    • BaseLarry 📃
    • BaseBob 📃
  • Jack 📃

  • Larry 📃
  • Bob 📃

In baseModels are put every model from swagger with property and imports of dependencies. This folder is deleted and rewritten every time that script is used. When you need to edit, extend or create a parameter of the object, use the models that extend baseModel. The changes will not be deleted or overwritten
