Sashay
Sashay allows you to generate OpenAPI 3.0 (Swagger) files using executable Go code,
including the same types you already use for parameter declaration and serialization.
You don't have to worry about creating extensive Swagger-specific comments
or editing a Swagger file by hand.
You can get a good enough Swagger document with very little work,
using the code you already have!
- Use your existing serializable Go structs to document what an endpoint returns.
Really, Sashay will figure out the OpenAPI contents using reflection.
- Declare your parameters using Go structs. If you are binding and validating using structs in your endpoint handlers,
you can use the same structs for Sashay.
- You can extend Sashay to handle your own types and struct tags,
such as if you use custom time/date types,
or want to parse validation struct tags into something you can place in your OpenAPI doc.
Creating a nicer OpenAPI 3.0 document from your existing code is generally a matter of adding
a bit of annotation to struct tags or using some Sashay types around your API's types.
For example, given the following code:
type Pet struct {
ID int `json:"id"`
Name string `json:"name"`
Tag string `json:"tag"`
}
type Error struct {
Code int32 `json:"code"`
Message string `json:"message"`
}
sw := sashay.New("PetStore API", "Manage your pet store with our API", "1.0.0")
sw.Add(sashay.NewOperation(
"GET",
"/pets",
"Return all pets.",
struct {
Status string `query:"status"`
}{},
[]Pet{},
Error{},
))
sw.Add(sashay.NewOperation(
"POST",
"/pets",
"Create a pet.",
struct {
Pretty bool `query:"pretty" default:"true" description:"If true, return pretty-printed JSON."`
Name string `json:"name"`
}{},
Pet{},
Error{},
))
sw.Add(sashay.NewOperation(
"GET",
"/pets/:id",
"Fetch info about a pet.",
struct {
ID int `path:"id"`
Name string `json:"name"`
}{},
Pet{},
Error{},
))
You can generate the following YAML:
