Building Web Apps only with an OpenAPI Spec
Hola!
I've been working on a way to auto-generate React based pages from templates and Open API Specs. This way you can auto-build most of your app pages without having to do a single line of front-end code that. This is specially cool for internal tools and single pages (login, registration, profile, settings, and similar)
What do you think? What are the possible drawbacks of that solution?

Sounds like a great idea. But doesn't it require a ton of additional meta information about the pages? 🤔 maybe I'm missing some part?
OpenAPI Spec already provides most of the required fields to make an intuitive approach. Other parts can be managed by conventions and tags. You are correct that some extra conventions may be required, but not for most of the general cases.
Cool. Details might be a good follow up post!
