Could you recommend any codegen tools that generate bindings in Typescript or Go? I suppose there's some tools around swagger and various GraphQL libraries, but I'm not seeing any great options though a quick google search.

I have made negative experience with using a custom swagger-codegen [0] template - the library is quite diffuse with no clear direction in which PRs are merged and which aren't, making it a mess to read and extend. I have however, managed to generate the exact Typescript bindings I wanted using it. In contrast, I have been using NSwag [1] to generate C# client code with far greater comfort, and it seems to support multiple Typescript clients already.

  Switched to NSwag here, too. I'm in a Python environment and we use it to generate the TypeScript code for our services.

  Sorry to hear your negative experience with Swagger Codegen regarding the PRs. Having been "managing" the project for a few years, I agree with you that I've not done a very good job in reviewing and merging all the PRs (239 open PRs as of today) contributed by the awesome community. Myself and 40+ top contributors have decided to fork Swagger Codegen so as to maintain a community-driven version called OpenAPI Generator [1] with a better governance structure to move the project forward. Now there are 10+ core team members and contributors with proper rights to merge PRs so I think we've better PR management in OpenAPI Generator. Please refer to the Q&A [2] for the reasons behind the fork. For TypeScript generators, we've recently added the TypeScript Axios client generator [3] and there's an ongoing project to consolidate the TypeScript generators into one [4]. Please check these out and let us know if you've any feedback. We hope you will find OpenAPI Generator useful in your projects.
