Generating REST API models from an OpenAPI specification involves updating the openapi.yaml contract and regenerating the corresponding request and response data models. After generation, you manually implement the backend routes and wire validation, authentication, and timing mechanisms.

Updating existing API request and response models requires modifying the OpenAPI specification and regenerating the models. This ensures consistency with the API contract before you manually adjust the implementation of the backend routes.

Yes, adding validation and authentication to new REST routes is supported. After defining the API contract and generating models, you manually implement the routes and wire the validation, authentication, and timing mechanisms directly into the backend code.

Yes, this workflow requires manual route implementation after generating models. While the OpenAPI specification automates model generation, developers must manually implement the actual API routes and correctly wire validation and authentication mechanisms.

You need to regenerate API models from an OpenAPI specification when creating a new API, altering an existing one, or updating API request and response models. This ensures the backend models align with the updated openapi.yaml contract.
