How does this work?

[justoke]

I have installed this extension and managed to create a config file, but after that it is a mystery as to how this is actually supposed to work. How exactly do you generate the API from the JSON file? Is there a CLI of some sort?

The only thing that I see is a flickering blue cursor next to the GENERATOR FROM SWAGGER:

Thank you.

These are my notes how i used it today. Wanted to create the server app, in case i don't have internet connection.
I am a newbie on this, so just consider this as my 2 cents.

Creating server app:

Install .net core hosting 3.1
Install the Generator From Swagger tool.
Create and select a workfolder
Click on the extension in the sidebar.
At the top of the extension: Create config
Edit config.
Swagger path is the file of the swagger json. If it is a yaml file, you can convert it online to a json.
the path is relative to the work folder. So normally just the filename.
change the language if needed to

• "c#", for the client.
• "aspnetcore" for the server

refresh the generator
you have now an

• exampleClient
• exampleServer

right mouse button on the exampleServer -> Generate will create the application

Now run the start.bat from the terminal in vscode
after it has build the project, you can start the server with
'dotnet run --project src\Org.OpenAPITools\Org.OpenAPITools.csproj' (use --project and don't use the launchprofile)
the server is now running with the kestral webserver under http://localhost:8080/openapi/index.html
