title: Generating Code
weight: 20
---
Some code (Go, Python, JavaScript) is generated from the OpenAPI specs in
`pkg/api/flamenco-openapi.yaml`. There are also Go files generated to create
mock implementations of interfaces for unit testing purposes.
## Installing the Code Generators
There are three code generators used by Flamenco:
- [`oapi-codegen`][oapi-codegen] for the OpenAPI server & client in Go.
- [`mockgen`][mockgen] for generating mocks for tests in Go.
- [`openapi-codegen`][openapi-codegen] for the OpenAPI clients in Python and JavaScript.
[oapi-codegen]: https://github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen/cmd/oapi-codegen
[mockgen]: https://github.com/golang/mock/mockgen
[openapi-codegen]: https://openapi-generator.tech/
The first two generators can be installed with either of these commands:
```bash
# Simplest way to install the Go generators:
$ go run mage.go installGenerators
# Faster to re-run than the above, but does require Make:
$ make install-generators
```
`openapi-codegen` is bundled with the Flamenco sources, but does need a Java
runtime environment to be installed. On Ubuntu Linux, `sudo apt install
default-jre-headless` should be enough.
## Committing Generated Code
**Generated code is committed to Git**, so that after a checkout you shouldn't
need to re-run the generator to build Flamenco.
The following files & directories are generated. Generated directories are
completely erased before regeneration, so do not add any files there manually.
- `addon/flamenco/manager/`: Python API for the Blender add-on.
- `pkg/api/*.gen.go`: Go API shared by Manager and Worker.
- `internal/**/mocks/*.gen.go`: Generated mocks for Go unit tests.
- `web/app/src/manager-api/`: JavaScript API for the web front-end.
