Summary

We have just launched Code Generation Extensions for API Blueprint, allowing users to customize the behavior of APIMatic's Code Generation Engine by specifying additional metadata in their API Blueprint description, which enables control over naming conventions, configuration stores and custom code branding. The new feature extends the API Blueprint metadata attribute to include properties such as generating asynchronous C# and Java code, using HTTP verbs as prefix for generated controller methods, and appending postfixes to classes and controllers generated from schemas and path groups. This extension provides users with more flexibility in configuring their code generation settings, including options for iOS and Android SDKs, and allows them to brand the generated files and use a custom user agent. The feature is designed to simplify the process of generating code from API descriptions, while also providing more control over the output.
