history

Project history and usage

Create API is a Swift command-line code generator that turns OpenAPI 3.0 specifications into Swift client code and Swift Package outputs.

Project history

The CreateAPI/CreateAPI repository was created in late 2021 and shipped its initial pre-release in January 2022. The README describes the project as OpenAPI code generation for Swift, written in Swift, powered by OpenAPIKit.

The 0.1.0 release in August 2022 was a major maturation point: the changelog lists Homebrew publication, Swift Package Plugin support, expanded documentation and contribution guides, command-line config overrides, configurable generated package dependencies, custom data-type mappings, and parallel path generation.

Adoption history

The official README documents installation through Mint, Homebrew, Swift Package Plugins, and make. It also lists open-source projects using Create API, including App Store Connect API, Swift SDK for Jellyfin, and Google Generative AI SDK.

How it is used

Users run create-api generate against a JSON or YAML OpenAPI schema, optionally passing output and configuration options. The default configuration path is .create-api.yaml, and the tool can generate complete Swift packages or individual components for integration into an existing Swift project.

Why package nerds care

Create API sits at the intersection of API schema packaging and Swift package generation. For package maintainers, its significance is that it can convert upstream OpenAPI descriptions into reproducible Swift source bundles suitable for normal SwiftPM workflows.
