SDK Sandboxes
Speakeasy can generate dev container configurations for SDK repositories to provide an intuitive, predefined sandbox environment for exploring SDK capabilities. Beyond setting up this environment, Speakeasy has CLI commands that allow SDK users to effortlessly generate example usage snippets for any API operation within this container setting.
TIP
Configuring SDK Sandboxes
To set up the automatically generated dev container configurations, minor adjustments to the gen.yaml
file are required. The schemaPath
shown below should reference the SDK’s OpenAPI document, which can be a local path or a remote URL.
Dev container gen.yaml
:
configVersion: 1.0.0generation:devContainers:enabled: trueschemaPath: ./openapi.yaml
Generation will create a .devcontainer
directory containing a configuration file similar to below.
Generated devcontainer.json
:

Using SDK Sandboxes in the browser
SDK users can instantly initialize a sandbox in GitHub Codespaces (opens in a new tab) with a single click. By default, GitHub Codespaces shifts the cost to the user. However, organizations can be configured (opens in a new tab) to offer complimentary codespaces to users if preferred.
