openapi-typescript version

Unreleased v7.14.0 (commit: b04ec75)

Node.js version

OS + version

Windows 11

Description

The root types generated with read-write-markers and root-types can't really be used when interacting with openapi-fetch.

The schema won't be assignable to data when obtaining results from a GET.

Additionally, the schema won't be assignable to body when POSTing the data.

import createClient from "openapi-fetch";
import type { paths, SchemaPet } from "./openapi/openapi.js"; // generated by openapi-typescript

const client = createClient<paths>({ baseUrl: "http://localhost:3030/" });

const {data, error} = await client.GET("/pets/{petId}", {
    params: {
        path: {
            petId: "234"
        }
    }
})

if (data) {
    /*
    Types of property 'id' are incompatible.
    Type 'number' is not assignable to type '$Read<number>'.ts
   */
    const myCurrentPet: SchemaPet = data;
}

const myNewPet : SchemaPet = {
    // Forced to set the readOnly prop even though my intent is to POST it.
    id: {
        $read: 235
    },
    name: "Mittens",
    tag: "cat"
}

await client.POST("/pets/{petId}", {
    params: {
        path: {
            petId: "234"
        }
    },
    body: {
    /*
   Type '{ id: $Read<number>; name: string; tag?: string; }' is not assignable to type '{ id?: undefined; }'.
   */
        ...myNewPet
    }
})

}

await client.POST("/pets/{petId}", {
    params: {
        path: {
            petId: "234"
        }
    },
    body: {
        ...myNewPet
    }
})

Expected result

I expected to be able to directly use the typing when interacting with openapi-fetch.

Perhaps there should be one generated schema type for readOnly and a second generated schema type for writeOnly?

Required

• My OpenAPI schema is valid and passes the Redocly validator (npx @redocly/cli@latest lint)

Extra

• I’m willing to open a PR (see CONTRIBUTING.md)
