Hono OpenAPI Validator
Provides Hono middlewares for OpenApi validation
Installation
npm install @brightcove/openapi-validator-hono
Pre-parsing YAML files
If you pass in a path to a YAML file, the library will parse it on initialization into JSON. For particularly large YAML files, this can lead to slow startup times, so the library offers the ability to pre-parse YAML files.
npx @brightcove/openapi-validator-hono parse
Command List
help help
parse parses all YAML files in the specified folder into JSON
Options
-i, --import Folder path to read YAML files from (default: "api")
-e, --export Folder path to export JSON files to (default: "api")
Initialization
The library needs to be initialized with the path to a valid YAML and/or JSON file.
import { Hono } from 'hono';
import path from 'path';
import { OpenApiValidator } from '@brightcove/openapi-validator-hono';
const app = new Hono();
app.use(OpenApiValidator.init([
{
name: 'api',
yamlPath: path.resolve('./api/index.yaml')
},
options
]));
Note: If there is only a single API added, the api name can be omitted from all the middleware
Options
Validator Options
| Field | Type | Description | Required |
| ------ | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
| logger | Logger
| The logger that will be used for debug messages. Uses console
by default if not specified | false |
API Options
| Field | Type | Description | Required |
| ------------------------------------ | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| name | string | Name used to retrieve the API | yes |
| yamlPath | string
| Path to the OpenAPI YAML file | yes, to view docs, or jsonPath
must be included |
| jsonPath | string
| Path to the OpenAPI JSON file | yes, or yamlPath
must be included |
| emptyRequestValid | boolean
| Determines whether empty request bodies, for requests with required: true
and no required properties, are considered valid. By default this is true
. | no |
| errorCodes | object
| Allows overriding of the default error code values | no |
| errorCodes.InputValidationException | string
| Overrides the InputValidationException
code. Is "400.00"
by default. | no |
| errorCodes.OutputValidationException | string
| Overrides the OutputValidationException
code. Is "500.00"
by default. | no |
Validating Routes
The library provides the middleware validateRequest
, validateResponse
, and validate
depending on whether you only want request or response validation, or both.
Note: If the middleware isn't added to the specific route, it will not function properly. This is because the routePath
isn't resolved before the matching handler is determined
Any errors will be forwarded to the configured error handler as an InputValidationException
or OutputValidationException
import { OpenApiValidator } from '@brightcove/openapi-validator-hono';
app.post(
'/my/test/route',
OpenApiValidator.validate('api'), // alternatively `OpenApiValidator.validate()`
async (c, next) => {
...
}
);
app.onError((err, c) => {
// err will be an `InputValidationException` or `OutputValidationException`
if (err instance of HttpException) {
return err.getResponse();
}
});
Caveats
anyOf
andoneOf
aren't properly validated, so it's suggested to avoid these and have the logic for validation elsewhere- Nested schema refs will allow additional properties unless explicitely given
additionalProperties: false
Information
Information on the API and the current route (if found) is added to the context when any of the validation middleware are attached.
If information is needed without any validation being performed, an info
middleware is also available.
import { OpenApiValidator } from '@brightcove/openapi-validator-hono';
app.post(
'/my/test/route',
OpenApiValidator.info('api'),
async (c, next) => {
const openapi = c.get('openapi');
const routeSchema = openapi.routeSchema;
const apiSchema = openapi.schema;
const operations = openapi.operations;
...
}
);
Helper Functions
Some of the packages helper functions are exposed in the helpers
export
import { helpers } from '@brightcove/openapi-validator-hono';
// Merges additional properties (ie. `allOf`) and `properties`
const merged = helpers.mergeSchema(jsonSchema);
// Checks whether an OpenApi schema json is valid, and returns any errors found if it isn't
const { valid, errors } = helpers.validateSchema(jsonSchema);
// Simple check for whether a JSON object is a valid OpenApi schema definition
const isValid = helpers.isValidSchema(json);
Errors
Error classes and helper functions are exposed with the errors
export if a custom validation error needs to be thrown.
import { errors } from '@brightcove/openapi-validator-hono';
app.get('/some/route/1', async (c, next) => {
...something happens
throw errors.InputValidationException('failed input validation');
});
app.get('/some/route/2', async (c, next) => {
...something happens
throw errors.OutputValidationException('failed output validation');
});
JSON Schema Route
To view the JSON schema representation of the YAML file, you can use the following middleware
import { OpenApiValidator } from '@brightcove/openapi-validator-hono';
app.get('/schema', OpenApiValidator.schema('api'));
Documentation Route
To view a Swagger UI render of the OpenAPI spec, you can either specify the path to the YAML file (ie. if you're serving static files) or a full url
import { serveStatic } from '@hono/node-server/serve-static'; import { OpenApiValidator } from '@brightcove/openapi-validator-hono';
app.use('/static/*', serveStatic({ root: './api' }));
app.get('/docs', OpenApiValidator.docs('/static/'));
