Description

When an OpenAPI spec contains models with pattern validation (regex constraints on string properties), the generated models.rs emits lazy_static::lazy_static! blocks and regex::Regex usages unconditionally — they are not gated behind any feature flag.

However, in the generated Cargo.toml, the client feature does not include "lazy_static" or "regex" in its dependency list (unless hasCallbacks is true). The server feature correctly includes them.

This means a consumer that enables only features = ["client"] (without "server") gets compile errors when any model in the spec uses pattern:

error[E0433]: failed to resolve: use of undeclared crate or module lazy_static
error[E0433]: failed to resolve: use of undeclared crate or module regex

Root Cause

In Cargo.mustache (line ~47):

client = [
...
{{#hasCallbacks}}
"serde_ignored", "percent-encoding", {{^apiUsesByteArray}}"lazy_static", "regex",{{/apiUsesByteArray}}
{{/hasCallbacks}}
"hyper", "percent-encoding", "hyper-util/http1", "hyper-util/http2", "url"
]

The lazy_static and regex features are only added to client when hasCallbacks is true (for server-path routing in callback handling).

But in models.mustache (line ~471):

{{#vars}}
{{#hasValidation}}
{{#pattern}}
{{^isByteArray}}
lazy_static::lazy_static! {
static ref RE_...: regex::Regex = regex::Regex::new(r"{{ pattern }}").unwrap();
}
{{/isByteArray}}
{{/pattern}}
{{/hasValidation}}
{{/vars}}

These model-level regex statics are emitted for any feature combination — they're part of the shared models.rs that both client and server use

Generation Details

Generate with rust-server:
java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate
-i test-spec.yaml
-g rust-server
-o output/

Then in the consuming crate, depend on the generated crate with client-only:
my-api = { path = "../output", default-features = false, features = ["client"] }

Build fails:

• run: cargo build
• output: error[E0433]: failed to resolve: use of undeclared crate or module lazy_static
• output: error[E0433]: failed to resolve: use of undeclared crate or module regex

No special additional properties or config needed — any spec with a pattern constraint on a model triggers it when using only the client feature (without server).

Steps to reproduce

1. Create an OpenAPI spec with a model that has a pattern constraint:
   components:
   schemas:
   PhoneNumber:
   type: string
   pattern: '^+[1-9]\d{1,14}$'
2. Generate a Rust crate using rust-server generator
3. In a consuming crate, depend on the generated crate with only features = ["client"]
4. Build → compile errors on lazy_static and regex

Suggest a fix

Either:

A) Add "lazy_static", "regex" to the client feature unconditionally (matching server):

client = [
...
"hyper", "percent-encoding", "hyper-util/http1", "hyper-util/http2", "url",
{{^apiUsesByteArray}}"lazy_static", "regex"{{/apiUsesByteArray}}
]

B) Gate the model lazy_static! blocks behind #[cfg(any(feature = "server", feature = "client", feature = "validate"))] — though this is more complex and may break validation.

Option A is simpler and matches the existing server feature pattern.
