Description

Increasing Access

With the help of this feature, developers don't have to navigate through the entire codebase of the backend; they simply need to refer to this file to understand the routes and their functionalities. This can be immensely helpful in scenarios where a particular route or HTTP method is modified in the backend. Without this file, frontend developers or those unfamiliar with backend systems might inadvertently send requests to the wrong route or with incorrect methods, or they would have to delve into the extensive backend codebase.

However, with the aid of this file, any changes made to routes are instantly reflected in the OpenAPI file. Frontend developers or those without backend expertise can easily observe these changes in the OpenAPI file without needing to examine the backend codebase extensively. Consequently, they can adapt their approaches accordingly.

The OpenAPI file serves as a comprehensive repository of information about the routes, facilitating easy access and understanding of backend functionalities. Furthermore, this file can also be seamlessly integrated as a plugin in ChatGPT, further enhancing its utility and convenience.

This openapi file will be a single file having all the info about the routes, and this file can also be used as a plugin in chatgpt which is very useful.

Feature request details
