Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

fastify-swagger

NPM version CI workflow Known Vulnerabilities Coverage Status js-standard-style

Serve Swagger / OpenAPI for Fastify. It can either use the schemas you declare in your routes to dynamically generate an OpenAPI/Swagger-compliant doc, or serve a static OpenAPI specification document.

Supports Fastify versions >=3.0.0. For fastify@2, please refer to [email protected] and for [email protected], please refer to [email protected].

Install

npm i fastify-swagger --save

Usage

Add it to your project with register and pass it some basic options, then call the swagger api and you are done!

const fastify = require('fastify')()

fastify.register(require('fastify-swagger'), {
  routePrefix: '/documentation',
  swagger: {
    info: {
      title: 'Test swagger',
      description: 'testing the fastify swagger api',
      version: '0.1.0'
    },
    externalDocs: {
      url: 'https://swagger.io',
      description: 'Find more info here'
    },
    host: 'localhost',
    schemes: ['http'],
    consumes: ['application/json'],
    produces: ['application/json'],
    tags: [
      { name: 'user', description: 'User related end-points' },
      { name: 'code', description: 'Code related end-points' }
    ],
    definitions: {
      User: {
        type: 'object',
        required: ['id', 'email'],
        properties: {
          id: { type: 'string', format: 'uuid' },
          firstName: { type: 'string' },
          lastName: { type: 'string' },
          email: {type: 'string', format: 'email' }
        }
      }
    },
    securityDefinitions: {
      apiKey: {
        type: 'apiKey',
        name: 'apiKey',
        in: 'header'
      }
    }
  },
  uiConfig: {
    docExpansion: 'full',
    deepLinking: false
  },
  staticCSP: true,
  transformStaticCSP: (header) => header
  exposeRoute: true
})

fastify.put('/some-route/:id', {
  schema: {
    description: 'post some data',
    tags: ['user', 'code'],
    summary: 'qwerty',
    params: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        id: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'user id'
        }
      }
    },
    body: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        hello: { type: 'string' },
        obj: {
          type: 'object',
          properties: {
            some: { type: 'string' }
          }
        }
      }
    },
    response: {
      201: {
        description: 'Successful response',
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          hello: { type: 'string' }
        }
      }
    },
    security: [
      {
        "apiKey": []
      }
    ]
  }
}, (req, reply) => {})

fastify.ready(err => {
  if (err) throw err
  fastify.swagger()
})

API

register options

modes

fastify-swagger supports two registration modes dynamic and static:

dynamic

dynamic mode is the default one, if you use the plugin this way - swagger specification would be gathered from your routes definitions.

{
  // swagger 2.0 options
  swagger: {
    info: {
      title: String,
      description: String,
      version: String
    },
    externalDocs: Object,
    host: String,
    schemes: [ String ],
    consumes: [ String ],
    produces: [ String ],
    tags: [ Object ],
    securityDefinitions: Object
  },
  // openapi 3.0.3 options
  // openapi: {
  //   info: {
  //     title: String,
  //     description: String,
  //     version: String,
  //   },
  //   externalDocs: Object,
  //   servers: [ Object ],
  //   components: Object,
  //   security: [ Object ],
  //   tags: [ Object ]
  // }
}

All the above parameters are optional. You can use all the properties of the swagger specification and openapi specification, if you find anything missing, please open an issue or a pr!

fastify-swagger will generate Swagger v2 by default. If you pass the openapi option it will generate OpenAPI instead.

Example of the fastify-swagger usage in the dynamic mode, swagger option is available here and openapi option is available here.

options

| option | default | description | | ------------------ | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | exposeRoute | false | Exposes documentation route. | | hiddenTag | X-HIDDEN | Tag to control hiding of routes. | | hideUntagged | false | If true remove routes without tags in schema from resulting swagger file | | stripBasePath | true | Strips base path from routes in docs. | | swagger | {} | Swagger configuration. | | openapi | {} | OpenAPI configuration. | | transform | null | Transform method for schema. | | uiConfig* | {} | Configuration options for Swagger UI | | initOAuth | {} | Configuration options for Swagger UI initOAuth | | staticCSP | false | Enable CSP header for static resources. | | transformStaticCSP | undefined | Synchronous function to transform CSP header for static resources if the header has been previously set. |

uiConfig accepts only literal (number/string/object) configuration values since they are serialized in order to pass them to the generated UI. For more details see: #5710.

response description and response body description

If you do not supply a description for your response, a default description will be provided for you, because this is a required field per the Swagger schema.

So this:

fastify.get('/defaultDescription', {
    schema: {
      response: {
        200: {
          type: 'string'
        }
      }
    }
  }, () => {})

Generates this in the Swagger (OAS2) schema's paths:

{
  "/defaultDescription": {
    "get": {
      "responses": {
        "200": {
          "description": "Default Response",
          "schema": {
            "type": "string"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

And this in the OAS 3 schema's paths:

{
  "/defaultDescription": {
    "get": {
      "responses": {
        "200": {
          "description": "Default Response",
          "schema": {
            "type": "string"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

If you do supply just a description, it will be used both for the response as a whole and for the response body schema.

So this:

fastify.get('/description', {
  schema: {
    response: {
      200: {
        description: 'response and schema description',
        type: 'string'
      }
    }
  }
}, () => {})

Generates this in the Swagger (OAS2) schema's paths:

{
  "/description": {
    "get": {
      "responses": {
        "200": {
          "description": "response and schema description",
          "schema": {
            "description": "response and schema description",
            "type": "string"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

And this in the OAS 3 schema's paths:

{
  "/description": {
    "get": {
      "responses": {
        "200": {
          "description": "response and schema description",
          "content": {
            "application/json": {
              "schema": {
                "description": "response and schema description",
                "type": "string"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

If you want to provide a different description for the response as a whole, instead use the x-response-description field alongside description:

fastify.get('/responseDescription', {
  schema: {
    response: {
      200: {
        'x-response-description': 'response description',
        description: 'schema description',
        type: 'string'
      }
    }
  }
}, () => {})

Which generates this in the Swagger (OAS2) schema's paths:

{
  "/responseDescription": {
    "get": {
      "responses": {
        "200": {
          "description": "response description",
          "schema": {
            "description": "schema description",
            "type": "string"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

And this in the OAS 3 schema's paths:

{
  "/responseDescription": {
    "get": {
      "responses": {
        "200": {
          "description": "response description",
          "content": {
            "application/json": {
              "schema": {
                "description": "schema description",
                "type": "string"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
2XX status code

fastify itself support the 2xx, 3xx status, however swagger itself do not support this feature. We will help you to transform the 2xx status code into 200 and we will omit 2xx status code when you already declared 200 status code. Note: openapi will not be affected as it support the 2xx syntax.

Example:

{
  response: {
    '2xx': {
      description: '2xx'
      type: 'object'
    }
  }
}

// it will becomes below
{
  response: {
    200: {
      schema: {
        description: '2xx'
        type: 'object'
      }
    }
  }
}
response headers

You can decorate your own response headers by follow the below example.

{
  response: {
    200: {
      type: 'object',
      headers: {
        'X-Foo': {
          type: 'string'
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: You need to specify type property when you decorate the response headers, otherwise the schema will be modified by fastify.

status code 204

We support status code 204 and return empty body. Please specify type: 'null' for the response otherwise fastify itself will fail to compile the schema.

{
  response: {
    204: {
      type: 'null',
      description: 'No Content'
    }
  }
}

static

static mode should be configured explicitly. In this mode fastify-swagger serves given specification, you should craft it yourself.

{
  mode: 'static',
  specification: {
    path: './examples/example-static-specification.yaml',
    postProcessor: function(swaggerObject) {
      return swaggerObject
    },
    baseDir: '/path/to/external/spec/files/location',
  },
}

Example of the fastify-swagger usage in the static mode is available here.

specification.postProcessor parameter is optional. It allows you to change your swagger object on the fly (for example - based on the environment). It accepts swaggerObject - a JavaScript object which was parsed from your yaml or json file and should return a swagger object.

specification.baseDir allows specifying the directory where all spec files that are included in the main one using $ref will be located. By default, this is the directory where the main spec file is located. Provided value should be an absolute path without trailing slash.

additional

If you pass { exposeRoute: true } during the registration the plugin will expose the documentation with the following apis:

| url | description | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | '/documentation/json' | the JSON object representing the API | | '/documentation/yaml' | the YAML object representing the API | | '/documentation/' | the swagger UI | | '/documentation/*' | external files which you may use in $ref |

Overwrite swagger url end-point

If you would like to overwrite the /documentation url you can use the routePrefix option.

fastify.register(require('fastify-swagger'), {
  swagger: {
    info: {
      title: 'Test swagger',
      description: 'testing the fastify swagger api',
      version: '0.1.0'
    },
    ...
  },
  hiddenTag: 'X-HIDDEN',
  exposeRoute: true,
  routePrefix: '/documentations'
}
Convert routes schema

If you would like to use different schemas like, let's say Joi, you can pass a synchronous transform method in the options to convert them back to standard JSON schemas expected by this plugin to generate the documentation (dynamic mode only).

const convert = require('joi-to-json')

fastify.register(require('fastify-swagger'), {
  swagger: { ... },
  ...
  transform: schema => {
    const {
      params = undefined,
      body = undefined,
      querystring = undefined,
      ...others
    } = schema
    const transformed = { ...others }
    if (params) transformed.params = convert(params)
    if (body) transformed.body = convert(body)
    if (querystring) transformed.querystring = convert(querystring)
    return transformed
  }
}

swagger options

Calling fastify.swagger will return to you a JSON object representing your api, if you pass { yaml: true } to fastify.swagger, it will return you a yaml string.

Open API (OA) Parameter Options

Note: OA's terminology differs from Fastify's. OA uses the term "parameter" to refer to those parts of a request that in Fastify's validation documentation are called "querystring", "params", "headers".

OA provides some options beyond those provided by the JSON schema specification for specifying the shape of parameters. A prime example of this the option for specifying how to encode those parameters that should be handled as arrays of values. There is no single universally accepted method for encoding such parameters appearing as part of query strings. OA2 provides a collectionFormat option that allows specifying how an array parameter should be encoded. (We're giving an example in the OA2 specification, as this is the default specification version used by this plugin. The same principles apply to OA3.) Specifying this option is easy. You just need to add it to the other options for the field you are defining. Like in this example:

fastify.route({
  method: 'GET',
  url: '/',
  schema: {
    querystring: {
      type: 'object',
      required: ['fields'],
      additionalProperties: false,
      properties: {
        fields: {
          type: 'array',
          items: {
            type: 'string'
          },
          minItems: 1,
          //
          // Note that this is an Open API version 2 configuration option.  The
          // options changed in version 3.
          //
          // Put `collectionFormat` on the same property which you are defining
          // as an array of values. (i.e. `collectionFormat` should be a sibling
          // of the `type: "array"` specification.)
          collectionFormat: 'multi'
        }
      }
    }
  },
  handler (request, reply) {
    reply.send(request.query.fields)
  }
})

There is a complete runnable example here.

IMPORTANT CAVEAT These encoding options you can set in your schema have no bearing on how, for instance, a query string parser parses the query string. They change how Swagger UI presents its documentation, and how it generates curl commands when you click the Try it out button. Depending on which options you set in your schema, you may also need to change the default query string parser used by Fastify so that it produces a JavaScript object that will conform to the schema. As far as arrays are concerned, the default query string parser conforms to the collectionFormat: "multi" specification. If you were to select collectionFormat: "csv", you would have to replace the default query string parser with one that parses CSV parameter values into arrays. The same caveat applies to the other parts of a request that OA calls "parameters" (e.g. headers, path parameters) and which are not encoded as JSON in a request.

Complex serialization in query and cookie, eg. JSON

Note: not supported for OA2 and lower version of specification. Read more in OA3 documentation.

http://localhost/?filter={"foo":"baz","bar":"qux"}

IMPORTANT CAVEAT You also need to change the default query string parser used by Fastify so that it produces a JavaScript object that will conform to the schema. See example.

fastify.route({
  method: 'GET',
  url: '/',
  schema: {
    querystring: {
      type: 'object',
      required: ['filter'],
      additionalProperties: false,
      properties: {
        filter: {
          type: 'object',
          required: ['foo'],
          properties: {
            foo: { type: 'string' },
            bar: { type: 'string' }
          },
          'x-consume': 'application/json'
        }
      }
    }
  },
  handler (request, reply) {
    reply.send(request.query.filter)
  }
})

And this in the OAS 3 schema's paths:

{
  "/": {
    "get": {
      "parameters": [
        {
          "in": "query",
          "name": "filter",
          "required": true,
          "content": {
            "application/json": {
              "schema": {
                "type": "object",
                "required": [
                  "foo"
                ],
                "properties": {
                  "foo": {
                    "type": "string"
                  },
                  "bar": {
                    "type": "string"
                  }
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Hide a route

Sometimes you may need to hide a certain route from the documentation, there is 2 alternatives:

  • Pass { hide: true } to the schema object inside the route declaration.
  • Use the tag declared in hiddenTag options property inside the route declaration. Default is X-HIDDEN.

Integration

You can integration this plugin with fastify-helmet with some little work.

fastify-helmet options example:

.register(helmet, instance => {
  return {
    contentSecurityPolicy: {
      directives: {
        ...helmet.contentSecurityPolicy.getDefaultDirectives(),
        "form-action": ["'self'"],
        "img-src": ["'self'", "data:", "validator.swagger.io"],
        "script-src": ["'self'"].concat(instance.swaggerCSP.script),
        "style-src": ["'self'", "https:"].concat(
          instance.swaggerCSP.style
        ),
      }
    }
  }
})

Security

Global security definitions and route level security provide documentation only. It does not implement authentication nor route security for you. Once your authentication is implemented, along with your defined security, users will be able to successfully authenticate and interact with your API using the user interfaces of the documentation.

Development

In order to start development run:

npm i
npm run prepare

So that swagger-ui static folder will be generated for you.

How work under the hood

fastify-static serve the swagger-ui static files, then it calls /docs/json to get the swagger file and render it.

Sometimes you already have a Swagger definition and you need to build Fastify routes from that. In that case checkout fastify-swaggergen which helps you in doing just that.
