Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; begin by locating the package's existing CLI entry point and reviewing how it invokes openapi-generator. Before implementation, establish the public TypeScript function or class, its parameters, and expected behavior, then document tests that demonstrate the API works without spawning the CLI process.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

What do you about the idea to have an API interface in addition to CLI?

A bit of context, we're currently using openapi-generator-cli for our internal tools and call it as a child process, it would be more practical to have it as a function or class with params listed in TypeScript
