Migrating between v0

These are all the breaking changes in v0 and how to migrate between them

Breaking Changes 0.39.0​

Functions Parameters​

All TypeScript functions now use object parameters instead of regular parameters. This change affects channels and client generators across all protocols.

Before:

// Publishing
await jetStreamPublishToSendUserSignedup(message, parameters, js);
await publishToSendUserSignedup(message, parameters, connection);

// Subscribing
const subscriber = await jetStreamPullSubscribeToReceiveUserSignedup(
  onDataCallback,
  parameters,
  js,
  config
);

After:

// Publishing
await jetStreamPublishToSendUserSignedup({
  message,
  parameters,
  js
});
await publishToSendUserSignedup({
  message,
  parameters,
  nc
});

// Subscribing
const subscriber = await jetStreamPullSubscribeToReceiveUserSignedup({
  onDataCallback,
  parameters,
  js,
  config
});

Breaking Changes 0.55.1​

We upgraded the AsyncAPI Modelina dependency to the next version so for the next few versions it will contain breaking changes as we continue to improve the tool.

Breaking Changes 0.61.0​

Channels Multi-File Output​

The channels generator now outputs one file per protocol instead of a single file with a Protocols object. This change improves tree-shaking, reduces bundle size, and provides better code organization.

Before (v0.60.x and earlier):

// Single file with Protocols object containing all protocols
import { Protocols } from './channels/index';
const { nats } = Protocols;
const { publishToSendUserSignedup, subscribeToReceiveUserSignedup } = nats;

// Or destructure directly
const { nats: { publishToSendUserSignedup } } = Protocols;

After (v0.61.0+):

// Option 1: Import specific functions directly from protocol file
import {
  publishToSendUserSignedup,
  subscribeToReceiveUserSignedup
} from './channels/nats';

// Option 2: Import the entire protocol as a namespace
import * as nats from './channels/nats';
nats.publishToSendUserSignedup({ ... });

// Option 3: Import from index (protocols are re-exported as namespaces)
import { nats, kafka, mqtt } from './channels/index';
nats.publishToSendUserSignedup({ ... });

New file structure:

outputPath/
├── index.ts       # Re-exports all protocol namespaces
├── nats.ts        # NATS-specific functions
├── kafka.ts       # Kafka-specific functions
├── mqtt.ts        # MQTT-specific functions
├── amqp.ts        # AMQP-specific functions
├── event_source.ts # EventSource-specific functions
├── http_client.ts  # HTTP client-specific functions
└── websocket.ts   # WebSocket-specific functions

Migration steps:

  1. Replace import { Protocols } from './channels' with direct imports from protocol files
  2. Remove destructuring of the Protocols object
  3. Update function calls - functions are now standalone exports, not object properties
  4. Optionally use namespace imports (import * as nats from './channels/nats') to keep similar syntax

Breaking Changes 0.64.2​

Upgraded node to minimum v22.

Breaking Changes 0.71.0​

Library API Type Changes​

The GenerationResult and GeneratorResult types have changed to support browser-based generation (playground). This only affects users consuming the library programmatically - CLI users are not affected.

Before (v0.70.x and earlier):

import { runGenerators } from '@the-codegen-project/cli';

const result = await runGenerators(context);

// Accessing results
console.log(result.totalFiles);                    // number
console.log(result.allFiles);                      // string[] (absolute paths)
console.log(result.generators[0].filesWritten);    // string[] (absolute paths)

After (v0.71.0+):

import { runGenerators } from '@the-codegen-project/cli';

const result = await runGenerators(context);

// Accessing results - now includes file content
console.log(result.files.length);                  // number (replaces totalFiles)
console.log(result.files);                         // GeneratedFile[]
console.log(result.generators[0].files);           // GeneratedFile[]

// GeneratedFile shape:
interface GeneratedFile {
  path: string;    // Relative path (e.g., 'src/payloads/User.ts')
  content: string; // Full file content
}

Migration steps:

  1. Replace result.totalFiles with result.files.length
  2. Replace result.allFiles with result.files.map(f => f.path)
  3. Replace generator.filesWritten with generator.files.map(f => f.path)
  4. Optionally leverage the new content property for in-memory processing

Breaking Changes 0.72.3​

OpenAPI Operation Names​

The OpenAPI channels and client (http_client) generators previously prepended the HTTP method to the operation name, even when the spec already provided an operationId. This produced a duplicated verb (e.g. an addPet operation with method POST generated postAddPet). The operationId is now used verbatim as the function name, and the method is only used to synthesize a name when no operationId is present.

This renames the generated functions (and their *Context interfaces) for any OpenAPI operation that declares an operationId.

Before (v0.72.2 and earlier):

import { postAddPet, putUpdatePet, getFindPetsByStatusAndCategory } from './channels/http_client';

await postAddPet({ /* ... */ });

After (v0.72.3+):

import { addPet, updatePet, findPetsByStatusAndCategory } from './channels/http_client';

await addPet({ /* ... */ });

Migration steps:

  1. Regenerate your code.
  2. Update call sites to drop the leading HTTP verb from function names that came from an operationId (e.g. postAddPet → addPet).
  3. Update any references to the renamed *Context interfaces (e.g. PostAddPetContext → AddPetContext).

Breaking Changes 0.72.6​

Generated HTTP Client Uses Native fetch​

The generated HTTP client (OpenAPI http_client channels and the http client) no longer imports node-fetch. It now uses the global fetch/Headers built into the runtime. The node-fetch (and @types/node-fetch) dependency is no longer needed. This project already requires Node.js 22, which ships a global fetch.

Before (v0.72.5 and earlier):

// Generated client imported node-fetch
import * as NodeFetch from 'node-fetch';
// package.json needed:
//   "node-fetch": "^2.6.7", "@types/node-fetch": "^2.6.11"

After (v0.72.6+):

// Generated client uses the runtime's global fetch — no import, no dependency.
// To use a different HTTP implementation (node-fetch, axios, ...), provide it
// via the makeRequest hook on the client context.

Migration steps:

  1. Regenerate your code.
  2. Remove node-fetch and @types/node-fetch from your project's dependencies if they were only used by the generated client.
  3. Ensure your runtime provides a global fetch (Node.js 18+). If you need a custom HTTP implementation, supply it through the makeRequest hook instead of relying on the default.
