Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Thanks for this awesome project. About a year ago started using openapi-generator to create typescript clients and selected the generator "typescript (experimental)" - primarily as it seemed to work well for browser & node. It has worked so far, no complaints.

Performing a review and there remain multiple typescript generators; wondering how to gauge which one/ones are most actively maintained and used.

Describe the solution you'd like

Looking for recommendations regarding the most popular, well maintained, typescript client generator that can emit a single typescript client suited for use in both browser and modern nodejs (which include fetch) applications. Thanks!

Describe alternatives you've considered

Have scoured the web and the issues register looking for recommendations.
