API Designer
API Designer is a standalone/embeddable editor for RAML (RESTful API Modeling Language) written in JavaScript using Angular.JS. By default, the editor uses an in-browser filesystem stored in HTML5 Localstorage.
Examples of designing RAML with API Designer in the Wild
API Designer online
There is an online preview version of the API Designer, check it out a different branch.
Running Locally
npm install -g api-designer
api-designer
This will start a local designer instance using the in-browser filesystem.
Embedding
The following example details how to embed the API Designer:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>My App</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/api-designer-vendor.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/api-designer.css">
</head>
<body ng-app="ramlEditorApp">
<raml-editor></raml-editor>
<script src="scripts/api-designer-parser.js"></script>
<script>
if (window.Worker) {
// enable optional web worker for raml parsing
window.RAML.worker = new Worker('scripts/api-designer-worker.js#parser=./api-designer-parser.js&proxy=/proxy/');
}
</script>
<script src="scripts/api-designer-vendor.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/api-designer.js"></script>
<script>
// This part is needed only if you want to provide your own Persistance Implementation
// Angular Module must match "ramlEditorApp"
function myFileSystem($q, config, $rootScope) {
var service = {};
service.directory = function (path) {
var deferred = $q.defer();
// Your magic goes here:
// Do deferred.resolve(data); to fulfull the promise or
// deferred.reject(error); to reject it.
// In case you want to send notifications to the user
// (for instance, that he must login to save).
// The expires flags means whether
// it should be hidden after a period of time or the
// user should dismiss it manually.
$rootScope.$broadcast('event:notification', {message: 'Loading directory' + path, expires: true});
return deferred.promise;
};
service.load = function (path, name) {
var deferred = $q.defer();
// Your magic goes here:
// Do deferred.resolve(data); to fulfull the promise or
// deferred.reject(error); to reject it.
return deferred.promise;
};
service.remove = function (path, name) {
var deferred = $q.defer();
// Your magic goes here:
// Do deferred.resolve(data); to fulfull the promise or
// deferred.reject(error); to reject it.
return deferred.promise;
};
service.save = function (path, name, contents) {
var deferred = $q.defer();
// Your magic goes here:
// Do deferred.resolve(data); to fulfull the promise or
// deferred.reject(error); to reject it.
return deferred.promise;
};
return service;
}
angular.module('ramlEditorApp')
.config(function (fileSystemProvider) {
// Set myFileSystem as the filesystem to use
fileSystemProvider.setFileSystemFactory(myFileSystem);
});
