Usage

Installation

Add koa-swagger-editor to your project using npm and --save option:

$ npm install koa-swagger-editor --save

{
  "name": "awesome-package",
  "dependencies": {
    "koa-swagger-editor": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

Download swagger-editor

Download swagger-editor.zip from here

or use the following script in your package.json

{
  "name": "awesome-package",
  "scripts": {
    "download": "if [ ! -d \"./swagger-editor\" ]; wget https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-editor/releases/download/v2.9.9/swagger-editor.zip; unzip swagger-editor.zip -d swagger-editor; rm swagger-editor.zip; fi"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "koa-swagger-editor": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

then run

$ npm run download

which will download and extract the dist directory to swagger-editor/ (only if swagger-editor/ does not already exists). In this case your options.statics is <projectRoot>/swagger-editor/dist

Quickstart

'use strict';

const koa = require('koa');
const swagger = require('koa-swagger-editor');

const server = koa()
	.use(swagger({
		statics: __dirname + '../swagger-editor/dist', // path to extracted swagger-editor.zip
		specFile: __dirname + '/simple.api.yml' // where we want to save our api specs
	}))
	.listen(3000);
	
console.log('Listening on 0.0.0.0:3000');

process
	.on('SIGINT', () => server.close())
	.on('SIGTERM', () => server.close());

Now simply head to http://localhost:3000, and start writing your API

API

require('koa-swagger-editor')(options)

will return a koa-mount middleware, which you can use like any other middleware with koa.use()

Options

some options are required, so you cannot miss the options object. Optional options are surrounded by []

options.statics The path to the swagger-editor directory, where index.html is located

options.specFile The file path which is used to read/write our api specs

[options.path='/'] The url mount path, default is '/'

[options.defaults={}] The options object for swagger-editor. Here you can override any settings from swagger-editor/config/defaults.json

[options.defaults.useYamlBackend=true] Right now its hardcoded true and you are not able to change this, because swagger-editor has some problems with loading json into the editor

[options.defaults.useBackendForStorage=true] This is true by default, otherwise i would say you are using this extension without reason

[options.specURL] The URL used by swagger-editor to read/write the specs. Default is the same as in swagger-editor/config/defaults.json:backendEndpoint
