fastify-swagger

Swagger documentation generator for Fastify.
It uses the schemas you declare in your routes to generate a swagger compliant doc.

Install

Usage

Add it to your project with register and pass it some basic options, then call the swagger api and you are done!

const fastify = require('fastify')()

fastify.register(require('fastify-swagger'), {
  swagger: {
    info: {
      title: 'Test swagger',
      description: 'testing the fastify swagger api',
      version: '0.1.0'
    },
    host: 'localhost',
    schemes: ['http'],
    consumes: ['application/json'],
    produces: ['application/json'],
    securityDefinitions: {
      apiKey: {
        type: 'apiKey',
        name: 'apiKey',
        in: 'header'
      }
    }
  }
})

fastify.put('/some-route/:id', {
  schema: {
    description: 'post some data',
    tags: ['user', 'code'],
    summary: 'qwerty',
    params: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        id: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'user id'
        }
      }
    },
    body: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        hello: { type: 'string' },
        obj: {
          type: 'object',
          properties: {
            some: { type: 'string' }
          }
        }
      }
    },
    response: {
      201: {
        description: 'Successful response',
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          hello: { type: 'string' }
        }
      }
    },
    security: [
      {
        "api_key": []
      }
    ]
  }
}, (req, reply) => {})

fastify.ready(err => {
  if (err) throw err
  fastify.swagger()
})

API

register options

modes

fastify-swagger supports two registration modes dynamic and static:

dynamic

dynamic mode is the default one, if you use the plugin this way - swagger specification would be gathered from your routes definitions.

{
  swagger: {
    info: {
      title: String,
      description: String,
      version: String
    },
    host: String,
    schemes: [ String ],
    consumes: [ String ],
    produces: [ String ],
    securityDefinitions: Object
  }
}

All the above parameters are optional.
You can use all the properties of the swagger specification, if you find anything missing, please open an issue or a pr!

Example of the fastify-swagger usage in the dynamic mode is available here.

static

static mode should be configured explicitly. In this mode fastify-swagger serves given specification, you should craft it yourselfe.

{
  mode: 'static',
  specification: {
    path: './examples/example-static-specification.yaml'
  }
}

Example of the fastify-swagger usage in the static mode is available here.

additional

If you pass { exposeRoute: true } during the registration the plugin will expose the documentation with the following apis:

url	description
'/documentation/json'	the json object representing the api
'/documentation/yaml'	the yaml object representing the api
'/documentation/'	the swagger ui

swagger options

Calling fastify.swagger will return to you a JSON object representing your api, if you pass { yaml: true } to fastify.swagger, it will return you a yaml string.

Hide a route

Sometimes you may need to hide a certain route from the documentation, just pass { hide: true } to the schema object inside the route declaration.

Security

Global security definitions and route level security provide documentation only. It does not implement authentication nor route security for you. Once your authentication is implemented, along with your defined security, users will be able to successfully authenticate and interact with your API using the user interfaces of the documentation.
