What is @apidevtools/openapi-schemas?
The @apidevtools/openapi-schemas package provides JSON Schema definitions for OpenAPI Specification (OAS) documents. This allows developers to validate their OpenAPI documents against the official OpenAPI schemas, ensuring they adhere to the correct format and standards set by the OpenAPI Initiative.
What are @apidevtools/openapi-schemas's main functionalities?
Validation of OpenAPI documents
This code sample demonstrates how to use the @apidevtools/openapi-schemas package to validate an OpenAPI 3.0 document using the AJV library, which is a popular JSON schema validator.
const Ajv = require('ajv');
const openApiSchema = require('@apidevtools/openapi-schemas');
const ajv = new Ajv();
const validate = ajv.compile(openApiSchema.v3_0);
const openApiDoc = {
openapi: '3.0.0',
info: {
title: 'Sample API',
version: '1.0'
},
paths: {}
};
const valid = validate(openApiDoc);
if (!valid) console.log(validate.errors);
Other packages similar to @apidevtools/openapi-schemas
swagger-parser
Swagger Parser is a package that can parse, validate, and dereference Swagger and OpenAPI documents. Unlike @apidevtools/openapi-schemas, which provides JSON schemas for validation, Swagger Parser offers a more comprehensive solution for handling OpenAPI documents including resolving references and can handle both Swagger 2.0 and OpenAPI 3.0 specifications.
openapi-validator
OpenAPI Validator is another package that validates OpenAPI documents against the OpenAPI Specification. It provides more detailed validation errors and can also validate request and response data in real time, which is not a direct feature of @apidevtools/openapi-schemas. This package is more focused on API runtime validation whereas @apidevtools/openapi-schemas is primarily used for static schema validation.
OpenAPI Specification Schemas
This package contains the official JSON Schemas for every version of Swagger/OpenAPI Specification:
All schemas are kept up-to-date with the latest official definitions via an automated CI/CD job. 🤖📦
Installation
You can install OpenAPI Schemas via npm.
npm install @apidevtools/openapi-schemas
Usage
The default export contains all OpenAPI Specification versions:
const openapi = require("@apidevtools/openapi-schemas");
console.log(openapi.v1);
console.log(openapi.v2);
console.log(openapi.v3);
console.log(openapi.v31);
Or you can import the specific version(s) that you need:
const { openapiV1, openapiV2, openapiV3, openapiV31 } = require("@apidevtools/openapi-schemas");
console.log(openapiV1);
console.log(openapiV2);
console.log(openapiV3);
console.log(openapiV31);
You can use a JSON Schema validator such as Z-Schema or AJV to validate OpenAPI definitions against the specification.
const { openapiV31 } = require("@apidevtools/openapi-schemas");
const ZSchema = require("z-schema");
let validator = new ZSchema();
validator.validate(openapiDefinition, openapiV31);
