Using swagger code generator with maven

Following up the previous post about swagger, in this post I’m using the maven plugin version of swagger code generator.

I like to keep it in a separate profile in the pom so it’s only activated consciously when needed:

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>swagger</id>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>io.swagger</groupId>
                    <artifactId>swagger-codegen-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.3.1</version>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <id>default-cli</id>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>generate</goal>
                            </goals>
                            <configuration>
                                <inputSpec>src/main/swagger/swagger.yml</inputSpec>
                                <language>spring</language>
                                <output>${project.basedir}</output>
                                <modelPackage>com.acme.blog.models</modelPackage>
                                <apiPackage>com.acme.blog.api</apiPackage>
                                <configOptions>
                                    <dateLibrary>java8</dateLibrary>
                                    <artifactId>blog</artifactId>
                                    <groupId>com.acme</groupId>
                                    <basePackage>com.acme.blog</basePackage>
                                    <configPackage>com.acme.blog.configuration</configPackage>
                                    <hideGenerationTimestamp>true</hideGenerationTimestamp>
                                </configOptions>
                            </configuration>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>
    </profile>
</profiles>

and run it with mvn -P swagger swagger-codegen:generate
