Swagger Builder

Merge and build Swagger 2.0 specifications.

The purpose of the Swagger Builder is to take several Swagger specifications as input and to merge them to a single specification. This will make it possible to implement extensions of Swagger specification or to adapt a Swagger specification to a specific tool (cf. Amazon Web Service gateway).

How to use

Usage of the tools is explained via the --help option :

npx @ama-sdk/swagger-build --help

# Usage: swagger-build [options] [(swagger-spec|api-configuration|npm-package|glob)...]

# Merge swagger spec in inputs. The inputs can be `swagger file`, `api configuration file` or `npm package`

# Options:
#   -V, --version                                      output the version number
#   --apis <path>                                      Path to the files containing a list of APIs to generate. Each APIs will be merged with the ones in argument.
#   -c, --configuration <path>                         Configuration file
#   -o, --output <path>                                Path of the artifact generated (default: "./result/spec")
#   -O, --output-format <yaml|split|json>              Type of artifact generated (default: "yaml")
#   -v, --set-version <version>                        Set the version of the final swagger spec
#   -a, --artifact <name>                              Generate package.json associated to the swagger specification with the given name as artifact name
#   -i, --ignore-conflict                              Ignore the conflict during merge of specifications (the merge will be done in the input order)
#   -u, --set-version-auto                             If enabled, the version from the current package.json will be applied to the final swagger specification
#   --aws-compat                                       Change output to be compatible with AWS
#   --tree-shaking                                     Apply tree shaking on swagger output (enable per default in case of black/white listing)
#   --tree-shaking-strategy <bottom-up|top-down>       Change tree shaking strategy
#                                                      -'bottom-up': recursively remove unused definitions
#                                                      -'top-down': only keep definitions reachable from paths
#                                                      (default: "bottom-up")
#   --no-validation                                    Deactivate bundle validation
#   --flag-definition                                  Flag all definition with a vendor extension x-api-ref: {Definition name}
#   --build-mdk-spec                                   Build the swagger spec to be MDK compliant
#   -h, --help                                         output usage information

Swagger specification in Input

The Swagger Builder supports three formats of Swagger specification as inputs:

• A yaml file of a valid Swagger 2.0 specification
• A json describing a Split Swagger Specification
• A NPM package as described in the referencing documentation

The Swagger Builder tool will merge all the Swagger specifications entered as arguments (in any of the 3 formats chosen above) from the first entry to the last one as described in the merging strategy.

Information: The input support Glob patterns to list several files

Configuration

The Swagger Builder supports two kinds of configuration:

• The configuration via CLI options (described in the usage output)
• The configuration via a json file.

The Swagger Builder supports a set of configuration to configure the merging strategy, the post processing and the output format.

The configurations can be specified in a JSON file following a provided Json Schema or via CLI options.

[!WARNING] The CLI Options will be overridden by the configuration provided in the JSON file.

List of available configurations

Configuration	CLI Option	Description	Default value
outputFormat	--output-format (alias: -O)	Type of artifact generated. The supported formats are split, yaml and json	yaml
output	--output (alias: -o)	Path of the artifact generated. In case of yaml (or json) output format, the .yaml (or .json) extension will be added to the path. In the case of split output format, the output path will be the name of the folder containing the generated split spec.	./result/spec
setVersion	--set-version (alias: -v)	Set the version of the final Swagger spec. If not specified, the most recent version of the specification (in input) will be used	null
setVersionAuto	--set-version-auto (alias: -u)	If enabled, the version from the current package.json will be applied to the final swagger specification. This option will be ignored if a manual version is specified in setVersion configuration.	null
artifact	--artifact (alias: -a)	Name of the NPM artifact associated to the Swagger specification generated. If specified, a package.json will be generated alongside the Swagger specification (in the same folder)	null
ignoreConflict	--ignore-conflict (alias: -i)	Ignore the conflict (in the paths) during the specification merging. If enabled, the previous conflicting path will be replaced by the new one (in the Merging strategy)	false
awsCompat	--aws-compat	Enable Amazon Web Service Gateway compatibility. The resulting Swagger specification will be transformed to be compatible with AWS	false
treeShaking	--tree-shaking	Enable the tree shaking of the Swagger output. The definitions and parameters not referred to by a path will be removed. This option is enabled per default in case of black/white listing	false
treeShakingStrategy	--tree-shaking-strategy	Change the tree shaking strategy. Options are bottom-up or top-down.	bottom-up
validation	--no-validation	Enable validation of the generated Swagger specification	true
flagDefinition	--flag-definition	Flag all definition with a vendor extension x-api-ref: {Definition name}	false
buildMdkSpec	--build-mdk-spec	Build the swagger spec to be MDK compliant	false
pathsWhiteList		List of whitelisted paths to keep to the final Swagger specification. If specified, the tree shaking post process will be run to the Swagger specification	null
pathsBlackList		List of blacklisted paths to remove from the final Swagger specification If specified, the tree shaking post process will be run to the Swagger specification	null
specs	CLI Arguments	List of Swagger specification to merge. If both configuration and CLI arguments are provided the specifications provided as CLI arguments will be merged after the one from the configuration file	[ ]

List of additional CLI Options

Feature	CLI Option	Description	Default value
Configuration	--configuration (alias: -c)	Configuration file to provide parameters to the Swagger Builder	null
APIs	--apis	Path to the files containing a list of APIs to generate. Each APIs will be merged with the ones in the CLI argument (if specified).	null

Additional Checking tools

To perform validity check of a set of Swagger Specifications, additional tools are provided by the package:

Name	Description
Dictionary check	Validate that the dictionaries linked via the X Vendors are valid
Operation ID check	Validate that Operation IDs are specified and unique for each paths
Multi Success Response check	Validate that there is no path returning two different success response definitions

Generate your own extension

A code generator is provided to generate an API specification extension.

npx -p @ama-sdk/sdk:api-extension -p @angular-devkit/schematics-cli schematics @ama-sdk/swagger-builder:api-extension <my-extension>
