How to Disable springfox Import on OpenAPI Generation: A Step-by-Step Guide

When working with OpenAPI, especially if you're using Spring Framework for your API development, you may encounter a situation where the OpenAPI generator imports unwanted classes or packages automatically. A common issue developers face is the automatic addition of import springfox.documentation.annotations.ApiIgnore; to all generated API interfaces when using specific versions of the OpenAPI generator plugin.

In this guide, we will address this problem and present a straightforward solution to disable the springfox import.

Understanding the Issue

When you switch the OpenAPI generator plugin version (for instance, from 5.0.0 to 5.1.0 in this scenario), the code generation might get affected by the presence of certain dependencies, such as springfox. This often leads to the inclusion of additional imports that you may not want in your generated code.

Here's what happens:

You update your plugin to a newer version.

Your project builds, but it includes the unwanted springfox import in all generated interfaces.

This situation can clutter your code and potentially cause confusion.

The Solution: Disabling springfox Import

To effectively handle this situation and avoid the springfox import in your generated API interfaces, you can take the following steps:

Step 1: Modify Your Dependencies

The simplest solution is to specifically address the springfox imports by adjusting your project's dependency configuration.

Open your build.gradle file (or the equivalent configuration for your project).

Add the following dependency to your project:

Step 2: Validate Your Build

Once you've added the dependency, make sure you rebuild your project. This can typically be done by running:

Step 3: Check Your Generated Code

After successfully building your project, review the generated API interfaces. You should find that the import springfox.documentation.annotations.ApiIgnore; has been effectively removed from the generated code.

Summary

By simply adding the appropriate dependency to your build.gradle, you can avoid unnecessary imports in your OpenAPI generated interfaces. This small but effective adjustment will help maintain cleaner, more manageable codebases, especially as your project grows.

Final Thoughts

Managing dependencies and configurations in API development can sometimes be tricky. Understanding how different components interact is crucial for creating a smooth development experience. If you run into similar issues, remember to review your dependencies and their effects on your generated code.

Now you can enjoy a clutter-free coding environment and focus on building great APIs without the distractions of unwanted imports!
