Generating an Axios client using openapi-typescript-codegen

Small PoC to try out how does the openapi-typescript-codegen package would work in conjunction with Parcel.

https://github.com/ferdikoomen/openapi-typescript-codegen/blob/master/docs/axios-support.md

Things I learned

• Parcel still needs to be configured to work with this library.
  • It was necessary to install @types/node
  • It was necessary to move form-data as a dependency instead of a devDependency. This is the contrary of what the official documentation of openapi-typescript-codegen suggests here
  • it was necessary to create a tsconfig.json file to fix more Types issues when building the library
• Parcel is a really cool option, it almost "just works" out of the box
  • Maybe the combination of Parcel + openapi-typescript-codegen doesn't work that well
  • it caches the build, so if I don't change anything the build is almost instant.
• We can the generate step using a npm script.

What needs further investigation?

• How do I consume this library?
• Would this work if I list form-data and axios as peerDependencies?
