Next OpenAPI JSON Generator

Overview

Next OpenAPI JSON Generator is an open-source Next.js plugin that extracts and generates OpenAPI JSON specifications from your route handlers defined using @omer-x/next-openapi-route-handler. It simplifies the process of generating and maintaining OpenAPI documentation by leveraging TypeScript and Zod schemas.

Key Features:

• Automated OpenAPI Generation: Automatically generates OpenAPI JSON specs from your route handlers.
• TypeScript Integration: Seamlessly integrates with TypeScript for strong type-checking.
• Zod Schema Support: Uses Zod schemas for validation and generates JSON schemas for OpenAPI.
• Next.js Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Next.js and integrates with other server-side libraries.

Note: This package works in conjunction with Next OpenAPI Route Handler to extract the generated OpenAPI JSON.

Requirements

To use @omer-x/next-openapi-json-generator, you'll need the following dependencies in your Next.js project:

• TypeScript >= v5
• Next.js >= v13
• Zod >= v3
• Next OpenAPI Route Handler

Installation

To install this package, along with its peer dependency, run:

npm install @omer-x/next-openapi-json-generator @omer-x/next-openapi-route-handler

Usage

The generateOpenApiSpec function is used to extract and generate the OpenAPI JSON specification from your defined models. Here's a description of how to use it:

Example

import generateOpenApiSpec from "@omer-x/next-openapi-json-generator";
import { NewUserDTO, UserDTO, UserPatchDTO } from "../models/user";

const Page = async () => {
  const spec = await generateOpenApiSpec({
    UserDTO,
    NewUserDTO,
    UserPatchDTO,
  }, {
    // options
  });
  return <ReactSwagger spec={spec} />;
};

export default Page;

Parameters

The generateOpenApiSpec function takes an object with the following properties:

| Property | Type | Description | | -------- | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | models | Record<string, ZodType> | An object where keys are model names and values are Zod schemas | | options | Object | (Optional) An object to customize the functionality of the generator (see below) |

Options

| Property | Type | Description | | ---------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | include | string[] | (Optional) An array of strings which specifies the routes will be included to the JSON output | | exclude | string[] | (Optional) An array of strings which specifies the routes will be excluded from the JSON output | | routeDefinerName | string | (Optional) Name of the function that was exported from the Next OpenAPI Route Handler (Default: defineRoute) |

Result

The function returns a promise that resolves to an OpenAPI JSON specification.
