To migrate an Express router to OpenAPI in a Backstage backend plugin, use this Skill to convert hand-written routes into typed OpenAPI definitions and generate server stubs. The process requires a working Express router and passing tests to succeed.

Yes, you can generate typed clients for API consumption in Backstage. This Skill optionally creates typed clients and migrates router tests to OpenAPI test wrappers after converting your existing Express router endpoints.

Converting Express routers to OpenAPI server stubs requires a Backstage backend plugin with a working Express router and passing tests. Additionally, the backstage-repo-tools dependency must be present in your environment to facilitate the migration.

You should migrate your hand-written Express router to OpenAPI to enhance maintainability and scalability. This transition enables typed client generation and provides better API documentation for your Backstage backend plugin.

Yes, this Express router migration tool optionally updates your existing plugin tests. It migrates current router tests to OpenAPI test wrappers, ensuring your test suite remains functional and aligns with the newly generated server stubs.

A key limitation of automating Express router to OpenAPI migration is the strict requirement for a working Express router and passing tests beforehand. Without a functional test suite, the automated migration process cannot be successfully executed.
