output ​

Where the generated .ts files are written and how they are exported.

output.path ​

Folder where the plugin writes its files, resolved against the global output.path on defineConfig.

output.mode ​

How the plugin consolidates its generated code into files.

  • 'file' writes everything into a single file. The output.path must include the file extension (for example 'cypress.ts').
  • 'directory' writes one file per operation or schema under output.path.

Leave it unset and Kubb reads output.path: a name with an extension means one file, anything else a directory.

Important

group works with the inferred directory mode, no mode needed. Set mode: 'directory' yourself only to override the inference, such as a directory name that carries a dot (path: 'clients.v2'). An explicit mode: 'file' still forbids group and stops the build with KUBB_INVALID_PLUGIN_OPTIONS, since a single file has nothing to group.

output.barrel ​

Toggle the export style and depth to see the generated barrels.

  • src/gen/
  • models/
  • Pet.ts
  • User.ts
  • clients/
  • pet/
  • getPetById.ts
  • store/
  • getInventory.ts
src/gen/index.ts

Controls how the generated index.ts (barrel) re-exports the output. Accepts { type: 'named' } or { type: 'all' }, optionally with nested: true (for example { type: 'named', nested: true }) to write an index.ts in every subdirectory, or false to skip the barrel entirely. Kubb reads the plugin's own output.barrel first, falls back to config.output.barrel on defineConfig, and finally to false. Every generator plugin ships a default output that sets barrel: { type: 'named' }, but passing your own output replaces that object wholesale, so repeat barrel whenever you set output yourself.

output.banner ​

Text added to the top of every generated file, such as a license header or @ts-nocheck directive. Pass a string, or a function (meta: BannerMeta) => string that receives the document info (title, description, version, baseURL) and per-file context (filePath, baseName, isBarrel, isAggregation), so a directive can skip barrel files.

Text added to the bottom of every generated file (string or (meta: BannerMeta) => string), like banner but for closing comments. Pair banner: '/* eslint-disable */' with footer: '/* eslint-enable */' to scope a lint disable to the generated file.

group ​

Switch the mode to see where these operations land on disk.

clients/pet/
  • getPetById
  • addPet
clients/store/
  • getInventory
clients/order/
  • placeOrder
  • getOrderById
clients/user/
  • loginUser
group: { type: "tag" } splits the output by the operation tag, so placeOrder follows its order tag.

Splits generated files into subfolders by the operation's tag or URL path, each under {output.path}/{groupName}/. Without group, every file lands directly in output.path. It applies only to output.mode: 'directory'.

Important

Combining group with output.mode: 'file' stops the build with a KUBB_INVALID_PLUGIN_OPTIONS error.

group.type ​

Property used to assign each operation to a group ('tag' | 'path'), required whenever group is set. An operation with no tag goes in the default group.

  • 'tag' uses the operation's first tag.
  • 'path' uses the first URL segment, such as pet for /pet/{petId}.

group.name ​

Function that turns a group key into a folder name, used as the subdirectory under output.path. By default the key is the camelCased tag, or the first path segment for 'path' groups.

baseURL ​

Base URL prepended to every request in the generated helpers. When omitted, no host is prepended and each helper uses the operation's relative path from the spec. Set it to point the helpers at a different environment, such as staging or production.

baseURL: 'https://staging.petstore.dev'
export function showPetById( { path }: ShowPetByIdOptions, options: Partial<Cypress.RequestOptions> = {},): Cypress.Chainable<ShowPetByIdResponse> { return cy .request<ShowPetByIdResponse>({ method: 'GET', url: `https://staging.petstore.dev/pets/${path.petId}`, ...options, }) .then((res) => res.body)}

include ​

Generates only the operations and schemas that match at least one entry, and skips the rest. Each entry filters by tag, operationId, path, method, contentType, or schemaName, with a pattern that can be a string or a RegExp, both matched as a regular expression against the value. A string pattern is compiled with new RegExp(pattern), so it is not an exact match: pattern: 'pet' also matches 'petType' or 'superpet'.

Type definition
export type Include = { type: 'tag' | 'operationId' | 'path' | 'method' | 'contentType' | 'schemaName' pattern: string | RegExp}

exclude ​

Skips any operation or schema that matches at least one entry, the opposite of include. Entries use the same type and pattern fields as include, and when both options match an item, exclude wins.

When operations are excluded on a client plugin (@kubb/plugin-fetch or @kubb/plugin-axios), dependent plugins (@kubb/plugin-react-query, @kubb/plugin-vue-query, @kubb/plugin-swr, @kubb/plugin-mcp) skip generating hooks or handlers for those operations automatically, without requiring duplicate exclude configurations.

override ​

Applies different plugin options to operations that match a pattern. Each entry takes the same type and pattern as include, plus an options object that accepts any plugin option except override, so rules cannot nest. The first matching entry merges onto the plugin defaults, and later entries do not stack.

Type definition
export type Override = { type: 'tag' | 'operationId' | 'path' | 'method' | 'contentType' | 'schemaName' pattern: string | RegExp options: Omit<Partial<Options>, 'override'>}

When options such as returnType, output, or group are overridden on a client plugin (@kubb/plugin-fetch or @kubb/plugin-axios), dependent plugins (@kubb/plugin-react-query, @kubb/plugin-vue-query, @kubb/plugin-swr, @kubb/plugin-mcp) resolve and follow those per-operation options automatically.

resolver ​

Changes how the plugin names generated files and symbols. Pass a partial patch. Override only the members you want, and anything you omit keeps resolverCypress. See Override a resolver for the this context and how a patch layers over the default.

Tip

Inside a method this is the full resolver, so this.default.name(name) reuses the built-in casing.

Partial override
type ResolverCypressPatch = { name?(name: string): string file?: { baseName?(params: { name: string; extname: string }): string path?(params: { baseName: string; output: Output }): string } // no extra namespaces}

macros ​

Rewrites AST nodes before they are printed, without forking the generator. Each macro callback (such as schema or operation) receives the node and a context object, and returns a replacement or undefined to leave it as is. Omitted callbacks keep their defaults, and macros run in order, so a later one sees the output of an earlier one.
