Overwrite api platform generated client

Question

I'm toying with api platform and just saw that it comes with a client generator command.

When I run it a second time it has no effect because files have already been generated.

But, in the case of a custom template, if I want to re-run the client generation but want to achieve an update is there anything I can do?

At the moment the only way that I have found is to delete the directories created and run the command, but it is not e nice solution..

The client generator is designed for scaffolding only. It is intended to bootstrap your project, then it will never try to update the existing code.

At the moment the only way that I have found is to delete the directories created and run the command, but it is not e nice solution..

It's the only solution for now. We may introduce a new --overwrite flag (Pull Request welcome), but internally it will do exactly the same thing.
