Generating a Lightdash API client involves validating the endpoint against the live API schema first. This skill then produces typed Go client methods in internal/lightdash/api and corresponding models in internal/lightdash/models with unit-test scaffolding.

Verifying an API endpoint against a live schema before generating models ensures the typed Go client accurately reflects the current Lightdash API. This prevents runtime errors by validating inputs and correctly handling the envelope response during code generation.

Structuring Go models and unit tests for a Lightdash API operation involves placing models in internal/lightdash/models and client methods in internal/lightdash/api. The skill provides unit-test boilerplate to verify correct JSON unmarshalling and request handling.

Yes, the Lightdash API client generator handles envelope responses and path formatting. It validates inputs, constructs requests with proper path formatting, and manages the envelope response during the typed Go client generation process.

To implement a verified Lightdash API operation, you provide the HTTP method, API endpoint, function name, and an optional docs URL. These inputs trigger live schema research and typed Go code generation with testing scaffolding.
