+## Overview
+
+This is the Adyen Node.js API Library, providing Node.js developers with an easy way to interact with the Adyen API. The library is a wrapper around the Adyen API, generated from OpenAPI specifications.
+
+## Code Generation
+
+A significant portion of this library, particularly the API services and data models, is automatically generated.
+
+- **Engine**: We use [OpenAPI Generator](https://openapi-generator.tech/) with custom [Mustache](https://mustache.github.io/) templates to convert Adyen's OpenAPI specifications into TypeScript code.
+- **Templates**: The custom templates are located in the `/templates-v7/typescript` directory. These templates are tailored to fit our custom HTTP client and model structure.
+- **Automation**:
+    - **Centralized**: The primary generation process is managed in a separate repository, [`adyen-sdk-automation`](https://github.com/Adyen/adyen-sdk-automation). Changes to the OpenAPI specs trigger a GitHub workflow in that repository, which generates the code and opens Pull Requests in this library.
+    - **Local**: For development and testing, you must use the [`adyen-sdk-automation`](https://github.com/Adyen/adyen-sdk-automation) repository.
+
+### Local Code Generation
+
+To test new features or changes to the templates, you must run the generation process from a local clone of the `adyen-sdk-automation` repository.
+
+1.  **Clone the automation repository**:
+    ```bash
+    git clone https://github.com/Adyen/adyen-sdk-automation.git
+    ```
+
+2.  **Link this library**: The automation project needs to target your local clone of `adyen-node-api-library`. From inside the `adyen-sdk-automation` directory, run the following commands. This will replace the `node/repo` directory with a symlink to your local project.
+    ```bash
+    rm -rf node/repo
+    ln -s /path/to/your/adyen-node-api-library node/repo
+    ```
+
+3.  **Run the generator**: You can now run the Gradle commands to generate code.
+    - **To generate all services for the Node.js library**:
+      ```bash
+      ./gradlew :node:services
+      ```
+    - **To generate a single service (e.g., Checkout)**:
+      ```bash
+      ./gradlew :node:checkout
+      ```
+    - **To clean the repository before generating**:
+      ```bash
+      ./gradlew :node:cleanRepo :node:checkout
+      ```
+
+## Core Components
+
+- **`src/client.ts`**: The central class for configuring the library (API key, environment, etc.) and accessing API services.
+- **`src/service.ts`**: The base class for all API services, containing the generic HTTP client logic.
+- **`src/services/`**: This package contains the generated service classes (e.g., `CheckoutAPI`, `Management`) that expose methods for specific API endpoints.
+- **`src/typings/`**: This package contains the generated TypeScript types (models) used for API requests and responses.
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+This is a standard Node.js/TypeScript project.
+
+### Building
+
+To compile the TypeScript source code into JavaScript, run:
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+### Running Tests
+
+To execute the unit tests using Jest:
+
+```bash
+npm test
+```
+
+### Code Style & Formatting
+
+We use ESLint for linting.
+
+- **Check for style violations**:
+  ```bash
+  npm run lint
+  ```
+- **Apply automatic fixes**:
+  ```bash
+  npm run lint:fix
+  ```
+
+The build will fail if there are any linting errors. Run `npm run lint:fix` and fix any remaining issues before committing.
+
+## Release Process
+
+The release process is automated via GitHub Actions. When a release is triggered:
+1.  A script determines the next version number (major, minor, or patch).
+2.  The `package.json` and other version files are updated.
+3.  A pull request is created with the version bump.
+4.  Once merged, a GitHub release is created, and the new version is published to npm.
