How does APIkit determine the number of flows to generate from a RAML specification?

APIkit generates a separate flow for each resource defined in the RAML specification. This approach allows each flow to handle the specific HTTP methods (GET, POST, etc.) associated with that resource, enabling more modular and organized implementation of the API. Each resource flow can effectively manage operations specific to that endpoint, which contributes to cleaner code and easier maintenance.

This design facilitates better separation of concerns, as each flow can cater to the logic and requirements relevant to its corresponding resource. Combining multiple methods for a single resource within one flow reduces complexity and potential confusion, making it more efficient for developers to navigate and enhance the API as needed.

The other choices do not reflect how APIkit structures flows according to the RAML design. For instance, creating a flow for each HTTP method could lead to unnecessary complexity if multiple methods are related to the same resource. Similarly, generating a single flow for the entire API specification could significantly hinder the manageability and scalability of the API.
