What are the best API generators you know?


Supabase seems really close to what I'm enivisioning but it's not quite there.

Ideally I want something where: - I can drop in simple db schema outlining relationships - Generates models in a backend (flask, django or anything else) - Has UUID in postgres by default - Can create endpoints by specifying from open API schema

Anyone know of anything close to this?

I always write my own code generators. It’s fun, it doesn’t take that much work, and the results are exactly what I want and need. I have developed business applications where 80% of the code was auto generated. All I had to write was the core business logic and a bit of special case UI code. Code generation is a real super power.

Hasura for GraphQL, Postgrest for REST

Swagger Codegen is more barebones but supports a lot of languages.
