This would be pretty useful, actually came up to suggest the same thing, would love to see it merged

@princejohnsantillan hey! Thanks for the contribution.

Quick question, what happens with the file later? Or you export it to public/api.json and then simply access it with HTTP call?

Not the author, but I personally would just like to have the file anywhere in the app so I can then use my client generator without having to start up the server in of itself, it's nice and easy for automation, as I've seen that sometimes Scramble doesn't detect the types correctly, filling them as string and I need to generate my client 2 times.

@WildEgo Trying to figure out the best default file location here. Can you please elaborate on how exactly you're going to use the file?

I personally have no need for it to be in the public folder, I just install something like openapi-typescript-codegen and run it to generate my client, I do all of this in a monorepo, the plan would be to generate the API.json every update and then generate a TS client

@romalytvynenko thank you for looking into my PR 😁

1. The file can be used for many other reasons because it is an OpenAPI specification. Like for example importing it in Postman. And I agree with @WildEgo where it can be "nice and easy for automation", for example if you want to upload a copy of your OpenAPI specs to S3.
2. I was also thinking of using in on the route file, to act as a cache for the specification. There are use cases like what I have with my Vapor setup where the specification does not need to be generated on every single request. And having it cached like this makes the response time of the docs page faster.

Route::get('docs/api.json', function (Dedoc\Scramble\Generator $generator) {
        $apiFile = config('scramble.export_file');

        if(File::exists($apiFile)){
            return File::json($apiFile);
        }
        
        return $generator();
    })->name('scramble.docs.index');

@princejohnsantillan tests are failing. Will merge after those are green! Thank you!
