gist for typesafe client generation

[gsemyong]

here is a small gist to generate typed python client https://gist.github.com/gsemyong/8abb433aa3bb6094644b0f2185dece81

it has some limitations (i made it for my particular use case), but making it feature complete is a matter of couple of hours tops. from my exploration, the best approach will be to use something like ts-morph to read generated type definitions and maybe generate a nested file structure to improve naming (until inline typed dicts arrive). this gist uses simpler approach where it parses function spec json and generates everything in one file with nested dataclasses.

nice!

there's openapi spec generation here https://docs.convex.dev/client/open-api - which you can use to get a spec from the code. Might be a reasonable path to productionize something like this.

i think for the similar scope and pipeline speed function spec is better and the script already implements most of the stuff (including subscriptions). going with ts-morph or typescript compiler api will allow to push it up a notch by making type synchronization immediate and omitting the requirement for output validators.
