JSDoc Comments for the OpenApi Specification

A fork of swagger-jsdoc that brings a cleaner way to document your code for generating OpenAPI (Swagger) specs.

Installation

$ yarn add jsdoc-openapi

Usage

const jsdocParser = require("jsdoc-openapi");

// normal OpenAPI definition
const openAPIDefinition = {
  openapi: "3.0.0",
  info: {
    title: "Title of your service",
    version: "1.0.0",
  }
}

const spec = jsdocParser({
  swaggerDefinition: openAPIDefinition,
  apis: ["src/**/*.js"] // paths to files with comments to be parsed
});

Swagger UI Express example

const jsdocParser = require("jsdoc-openapi");
const swaggerUi = require("swagger-ui-express");

const spec = jsdocParser({
  swaggerDefinition: openAPIDefinition,
  apis: ["src/routes/my-route.js"]
});

app.use("/api-docs", swaggerUi.serve, swaggerUi.setup(spec));

Comment syntax

/**
 * <METHOD> /<path>
 * @<property> {<type>} <name> - <description>
 */

Available properties (so far):

• @description
• @operationId
• @summary
• @deprecated
• @pathParam
• @queryParam
• @requestBody
• @requestBodyForm
• @response

types:

• integer
• number
• string
• boolean
• object
• optional: [<type>]
• array: <type>[]

Basic comment example

/**
 * GET /hello
 * @description Get a "hello world" message.
 * @response {string} 200 - hello world.
 */

OpenAPI equivalent:

/hello:
  get:
    description: Get a "hello world" message.
    responses:
      200:
        description: hello world.
        schema:
          type: string

Advanced comment example

/**
 * GET /api/v1/cars/{country}/{city}
 * @description Get a list of cars at a location.
 * @pathParam {string} country - Country of the rental company.
 * @pathParam {string} city - City of the rental company.
 * @queryParam {[string]} company - Rental Company name.
 * @queryParam {[string]} car - Car Name.
 * @queryParam {[string]} type - Car Type.
 * @queryParam {[string]} style - Car Style.
 * @queryParam {[number]} mincost - Min Cost.
 * @queryParam {[number]} maxcost - Max Cost.
 * @response {Car[]} 200 - A list of cars.
 * @response 400 - Example Error.
