For Visual Studio

API Client Generation Tools for Visual Studio is a Visual Studio extension to generate C# and TypeScript HttpClient code for OpenAPI (formerly Swagger API) web service with NSwag toolchain.

Simply put, it does the same as Add Service Reference for WCF or Add Web Reference - for WSDL, but now it is for JSON API, you can put it anywhere in your project and it can generate C# amd TypeScript.

Getting Started

Install from Tools -> Extensions and Updates menu inside Visual Studio or download as VSIX package from Visual Studio Marketplace

Tips & Tricks:

• To get started - from Solution Explorer -> Add -> New Item... -> PetStore.nswag to your C# project.
• Use NSwagStudio - a Windows desktop app for configuring .nswag settings visually.
• Configure Visual Studio to automatically open .nswag files in NSwagStudio: in right click on .nswag file in Solution Explorer -> Open With... -> Add -> extension to NSwagStudio app.
• To regenerate code quickly just select .nswag file and press CTRL+S.
• If code is not generated check .nswag file Custom Tool in Property Window. There is should be NswagCodeGenerator. You can just add it manually or select Generate API Client in context menu.
