'Override OpenAPI Generator BasePath on Generation

I am creating a TypeScript Axios REST API client with OpenAPI Generator. I'm doing this in my terminal using npx @openapitools/openapi-generator-cli generate -i ../swagger.json -g typescript-axios -o ./rest/.

Since my host is depending on my .env variables, I want to read my API_URL from my env variables and pass it to the generating process of the generator.

I found in the docs that changing the BasePath is in some way possible, but I can't figure out the way to do it. Adding --basePath=1.2.3.4:8080 does not work, and I don't understand what "Defined by ToolingExtension" means.

typescript openapi-generator

In the latest openapi-generator-cli 5.4.0 the typescript-axios generator respects the servers setting and uses the first server object in the list as the basePath - i.e. if you specify

{
   "openapi": "3.0.2",
   "info": { ... },
   "paths": { ... },
   "components": { ... },
   "servers": [ { "url" : "https://testurl.com" } ]
}

then the generated base.ts file should contain

export const BASE_PATH = "https://testurl.com".replace(/\/+$/, "");

Unfortunately the "localhost" is hardcoded and as far as I can tell (after digging into the source code for the OpenAPI Generator) there is no way to change it. The documentation that mentions it is, I believe, referring to to the fact that the client that gets outputted allows that value to be overridden.
