v2.5.0: : No more optional pointers (optionally), omitzero, better control over initialisms, and so much more!

v2.5.0: No more optional pointers (optionally)!

🎉 Notable changes

Begone optional pointers! (optionally)

One of the key things oapi-codegen does is to use an "optional pointer", following idiomatic Go practices, to indicate that a field/type is optional.

This can be tuned on a per-field basis, using the x-go-type-skip-optional-pointer extension, but it can be a bit repetitive, or can be more complex when using an OpenAPI Overlay.

As of oapi-codegen v2.5.0, this can be tuned in two specific ways, via the following Output Options:

• prefer-skip-optional-pointer: a global default that you do not want the "optional pointer" generated. Optional fields will not have an "optional pointer", and will have an omitempty JSON tag
• prefer-skip-optional-pointer-with-omitzero: when used in conjunction with prefer-skip-optional-pointer, any optional fields are generated with an omitzero JSON tag. Requires Go 1.24+

In both cases, there is control on a per-field level to set x-go-type-skip-optional-pointer: false or x-omitzero: false to undo these to field(s).

[!NOTE]
The default is not changing.

We take care to avoid breaking changes so this is, as many changes, an opt-in.

See Globally skipping the "optional pointer" for more details.

Generating omitzero JSON tags, with x-omitzero

Related to the above functionality, it is possible to define the OpenAPI extension x-omitzero on fields to generate the omitzero JSON tag, based on the (now not-so-new) Go 1.24 release.

Thanks to @​lzap for the contribution 🚀

[!NOTE]
oapi-codegen does not currently validate the Go version that the module it's generating code for.

This could lead to the omitzero JSON tag being generated, but not being actually usable.

Ensure that you're using a Go 1.24+ version, and that your go directive (for source compatibility) is go 1.24 or i.e. go 1.24.1

Using OpenAPI 3.1 with oapi-codegen

There's some promising behind-the-scenes discussions with may lead to OpenAPI 3.1 support (#​373) coming in the not-too-distant future 👀

In the meantime, Jamie (one of the Core Maintainers) has written a blog post about how to use oapi-codegen with OpenAPI 3.1 specs (by downgrading them to OpenAPI 3.0).

Defining your own initialisms

As a means to define your own custom initialisms, it's possible to use the additional-initialisms Output Option.

Thanks @​micaelmalta for the contribution 🚀

If your organisation uses a lot of TLAs (Two Letter Acronyms or Three Letter Acronyms) or any other sorts of initialisms, it's handy to be able to configure these yourself.

For instance, if you regularly use the term CSP to refer to Cloud Service Provider, you may want CSP to be used in variable names.

This makes it possible to define i.e.

### ...
output-options:
  name-normalizer: ToCamelCaseWithInitialisms
  additional-initialisms:
    - CSP

[!NOTE]
This only works when the name-normaliser Output Option is set to ToCamelCaseWithInitialisms. An error will occur if you've not configured this correctly.

Minimum version of Go needed for oapi-codegen is now 1.22.5

As part of a couple of updates in #​1888 and #​1986, we're now requiring Go >= 1.22.5.

Similar to the bump to Go 1.21 in v2.4.0

Notable background work

Since the last oapi-codegen release (all the way in September 2024 🥲) the following big changes towards the project and its ecosystem have been:

• net/http middleware v1.1.0: Better error handling, allow not validating Servers (by configuration) and return an HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed where appropriate
• Jamie posted a look back at the last year
  • Notably also writing up explicitly how the project is currently governed
• runtime: fixes for maps and x-go-type-skip-optional-pointer
