Configuring Kubb

Kubb is configured with a configuation file (preferably with kubb.config.ts).

Usage

When you use the CLI of Kubb, Kubb will automatically read the configuration file in the root directory of the current project and resolve it in the following order:

• kubb.config.ts
• kubb.config.js
• kubb.config.mjs
• kubb.config.cjs

We recommend using the .ts format for the configuration file and importing the defineConfig utility function from @kubb/core. It provides friendly TypeScript type hints and autocompletion, which can help you avoid errors in the configuration.

In the background Kubb uses Cosmiconfig which means you can als use the following:

• A "kubb" key in your package.json file.
• A .kubbrc file written in JSON or YAML.
• A .kubbrc.json file.
• A .kubbrc.yaml or .kubbrc.yml file.

TIP

You can also use configs/kubb.config.ts or .config/kubb.config.ts instead of kubb.config.ts in the root of your project.

DefineConfig

When using TypeScript/JavaScript you need to use defineConfig to create your config.

export const defineConfig = (
  options:
    | MaybePromise<KubbUserConfig>
    | ((
      /** The options derived from the CLI flags */
      cliOptions: CLIOptions,
    ) => MaybePromise<KubbUserConfig>),
) => options

Basic

TIP

When using an import statement you need to set "type": "module" in your package.json.

You can also rename your file to kubb.config.mjs to use ESM or kubb.config.cjs for CJS.

kubb.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from '@kubb/core'

export default defineConfig({
  root: '.',
  input: {
    path: './petStore.yaml',
  },
  output: {
    path: './src/gen',
    clean: true,
  },
})

Conditional

If the config needs to be conditionally determined based on CLI options flags, it can be exported as a function instead.
Here you can choose between returning the config options synchronously or asynchronously.

kubb.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from '@kubb/core'

export default defineConfig(({ config, watch, logLevel }) => {
  return {
    root: '.',
    input: {
      path: './petStore.yaml',
    },
    output: {
      path: './src/gen',
      clean: true,
    },
  }
})

Multiple plugins

TIP

With version 2.x.x we also support using multiple versions of the same plugin.

kubb.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from '@kubb/core'
import { definePlugin as createSwagger } from '@kubb/swagger'

export default defineConfig(() => {
  return {
    root: '.',
    input: {
      path: './petStore.yaml',
    },
    output: {
      path: './src/gen',
    },
    plugins: [
      createSwagger(
        {
          output: {
            path: 'schemas',
          },
        },
      ),
      createSwagger(
        {
          output: {
            path: 'schemas2',
          },
        },
      ),
    ],
  }
})

Multiple configs

TIP

Since version 2.x.x we also support using multiple configs.

kubb.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from '@kubb/core'
import { definePlugin as createSwagger } from '@kubb/swagger'

export default defineConfig([
  {
    name: 'petStore',
    root: '.',
    input: {
      path: './petStore.yaml',
    },
    output: {
      path: './src/gen',
    },
    plugins: [
      createSwagger(
        {
           output: {
            path: 'schemas',
          },
        },
      ),
    ],
  },
  {
    name: 'petStoreV2',
    root: '.',
    input: {
      path: './petStoreV2.yaml',
    },
    output: {
      path: './src/gen-v2',
    },
    plugins: [
      createSwagger(
        {
          output: {
            path: 'schemas',
          },
        },
      ),
    ],
  },
])
