Why Use OpenAPI:
OpenAPI standardizes and documents RESTful APIs, streamlines development, improves team communication, and automates testing. Moreover, it can be used to generate client SDKs. It allows for a focus on business logic, making it a valuable tool in a microservices environment.
This project is a fork of moleculer-auto-openapi by grinat.
Big thanks to grinat for the original work, and also to everyone who has contributed to it!
🌟 Features
- Supports multiple Moleculer-Web servers, allowing API separation
Fastest-Validator
support for direct OpenAPI generation from parameters, complete with examples- OpenAPI 3.1 compatibility
- Cached OpenAPI with efficient regeneration when needed
- Granular and reusable configuration
- TypeScript exports of mixin settings and OpenAPI parameters
- Get your first openapi in less a minute
🚀 Getting Started
📦 Prerequisites
To use this library, you must have the Moleculer framework installed along with the Moleculer-Web module. Additionally, the listAliases
action must be available (which is the default setting).
🔧 Installation
Install the package using your preferred package manager:
npm install @spailybot/moleculer-auto-openapi
Optional
If you wish to use a local instance of Swagger UI, install it like this:
npm install swagger-ui-dist@^5
For the full TypeScript autocompletion experience, install the openapi-types
package in addition to the above:
npm install --save-dev openapi-types
📁 Setting Up Your Service
Note: The following examples use the ESM syntax.
Depending on your environment and requirements, you may need to adapt these examples, possibly to the CommonJS (CJS) syntax, or to your specific coding standard.
Create an OpenApi service
import { OpenApiMixin, type OpenApiMixinSettings, type MoleculerWebTypes } from '@spailybot/moleculer-auto-openapi';
import { Service, type ServiceBroker } from 'moleculer';
/**
* MoleculerWebTypes are typings created from moleculer-web to enhance included typings; their use is totally optional.
*/
export default class OpenApiService extends Service<OpenApiMixinSettings & MoleculerWebTypes.RestServiceSettings> {
public constructor(public broker: ServiceBroker) {
super(broker);
this.parseServiceSchema({
// Choose your preferred name
name: 'openapi',
mixins: [mixin],
settings: {
// Set the path as you prefer
rest: '/openapi',
// Path to the endpoint that returns the JSON
// With autoalias, it's exposed on /openapi.json
schemaPath: '/openapi/openapi.json',
// This will be the root of your document
// use it to define some default informations
openapi: {
info: {
title: "My API",
version: "0.0.1"
}
}
}
});
}
}
import { OpenApiMixin, type OpenApiMixinSettings, type MoleculerWebTypes } from '@spailybot/moleculer-auto-openapi';
import { Service, type ServiceBroker } from 'moleculer';
const OpenApiService: ServiceSchema<OpenApiMixinSettings & MoleculerWebTypes.RestServiceSettings> = {
// Choose your preferred name
name: 'openapi',
mixins: [mixin],
settings: {
// Set the path as you prefer
rest: '/openapi',
// Path to the endpoint that returns the JSON
// With autoalias, it's exposed on /openapi.json
schemaPath: '/openapi/openapi.json',
// This will be the root of your document
// use it to define some default informations
openapi: {
info: {
title: "My API",
version: "0.0.1"
}
}
}
};
export default OpenApiService;
import { OpenApiMixin } from '@spailybot/moleculer-auto-openapi';
import { Service } from 'moleculer';
export default class OpenApiService extends Service {
public constructor(broker) {
super(broker);
this.parseServiceSchema({
// Choose your preferred name
name: 'openapi',
mixins: [OpenApiMixin],
settings: {
// Set the path as you prefer
rest: '/openapi',
// Path to the endpoint that returns the JSON
// With autoalias, it's exposed on /openapi.json
schemaPath: '/openapi/openapi.json',
// This will be the root of your document
// use it to define some default informations
openapi: {
info: {
title: "My API",
version: "0.0.1"
}
}
}
});
}
}
import { OpenApiMixin } from '@spailybot/moleculer-auto-openapi';
import { Service } from 'moleculer';
const OpenApiService = {
// Choose your preferred name
name: 'openapi',
mixins: [mixin],
settings: {
// Set the path as you prefer
rest: '/openapi',
// Path to the endpoint that returns the JSON
// With autoalias, it's exposed on /openapi.json
schemaPath: '/openapi/openapi.json',
// This will be the root of your document
// use it to define some default informations
openapi: {
info: {
title: "My API",
version: "0.0.1"
}
}
}
};
export default OpenApiService;
const OpenApiMixin = require('@spailybot/moleculer-auto-openapi');
// or
// const { OpenApiMixin } = require('@spailybot/moleculer-auto-openapi');
import { Service } from 'moleculer';
module.exports = {
// Choose your preferred name
name: 'openapi',
mixins: [mixin],
settings: {
// Set the path as you prefer
rest: '/openapi',
// Path to the endpoint that returns the JSON
// With autoalias, it's exposed on /openapi.json
schemaPath: '/openapi/openapi.json',
// This will be the root of your document
// use it to define some default informations
openapi: {
info: {
title: "My API",
version: "0.0.1"
}
}
}
};
You can find detailed information about all the settings of the mixin in the technical documentation.
Update your moleculer-web service
import type { ApiSettingsSchemaOpenApi } from '@spailybot/moleculer-auto-openapi';
import ApiGateway from "moleculer-web";
import { Service, type ServiceBroker } from 'moleculer';
/**
* Note that ApiSettingsSchemaOpenApi is a re-export of ApiSettingsSchema because moleculer-web doesn't allow to extend it.
*/
export default class WebApiService extends Service<ApiSettingsSchemaOpenApi> {
public constructor(public broker: ServiceBroker) {
super(broker);
this.parseServiceSchema({
name: "api",
mixins: [mixin],
settings: {
// Place other settings here
openapi: {
// Define an OpenAPI specification that will be applied to all routes of this api
},
routes: [
// Place additional route configurations here
{
openapi: {
// Define an OpenAPI specification that will apply to all aliases within this route
},
path: '/openapi',
aliases: {
'GET /openapi.json': 'openapi.generateDocs',
'GET /ui': 'openapi.ui',
'GET /assets/:file': 'openapi.assets',
'GET /oauth2-redirect': 'openapi.oauth2Redirect',
},
},
// To use autoAliases, refer to the following configuration
// {
// path: '/openapi',
// whitelist: ['openapi.*'],
// autoAliases: true
// }
]
// Insert other settings here
}
});
}
}
import ApiGateway from "moleculer-web";
import { Service } from 'moleculer';
export default class WebApiService extends Service {
public constructor(broker) {
super(broker);
this.parseServiceSchema({
name: "api",
mixins: [mixin],
settings: {

📝 TODO
- $$oa
- allow to define a ref, and use the ref instead of creating a new one
- allow to define a "to ref", and create the ref with this name
- allow to define examples
- investigate the needs of requestBodyAndResponseBodyAreSameOnMethods / requestBodyAndResponseBodyAreSameDescription
- support multiple openapi version on generator ? (will need converters)
