Advanced tools
Filter internal paths, operations, parameters, schemas etc from OpenAPI/Swagger definitions
Filter internal paths, operations, parameters, schemas etc from OpenAPI/Swagger/AsyncAPI definitions.
Simply flag any object within the definition with an x-internal specification extension, and it will be removed from the output.
For example:
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
title: API
version: 1.0.0
paths:
/:
get:
x-internal: true
...
Works with OpenAPI/Swagger 2.0 and 3.0.x and AsyncAPI definitions.

use -- to separate flags or other array options from following options, i.e.:
openapi-filter --flags x-private x-hidden -- source.yaml target.yaml
or
let openapiFilter = require('openapi-filter');
let options = {}; // defaults are shown
//options.inverse = false;
//options.valid = false;
//options.flags = ['x-internal'];
let res = openapiFilter.filter(obj,options);
