openapi-types

What is openapi-types?

The openapi-types npm package provides TypeScript definitions for OpenAPI Specification (OAS). It allows developers to use strong typing when working with OpenAPI documents in TypeScript projects, ensuring that the structure of the API documentation adheres to the OpenAPI Specification standards.

What are openapi-types's main functionalities?

OpenAPI Document Types

Provides TypeScript interfaces for OpenAPI 3.0 documents, allowing developers to define API structure in a type-safe manner.

{"import { OpenAPIV3 } from 'openapi-types';

const document: OpenAPIV3.Document = {
  openapi: '3.0.0',
  info: {
    title: 'Sample API',
    version: '1.0.0'
  },
  paths: {}
};"}

OpenAPI Path Item Types

Allows for the definition of individual path items and their operations, ensuring that they conform to the OpenAPI Specification.

{"import { OpenAPIV3 } from 'openapi-types';

const pathItem: OpenAPIV3.PathItemObject = {
  get: {
    responses: {
      '200': {
        description: 'Success',
        content: {
          'application/json': {
            schema: {
              type: 'array',
              items: {
                type: 'string'
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
};"}

OpenAPI Components Types

Enables the definition of reusable components such as schemas, responses, parameters, and more, with type safety.

{"import { OpenAPIV3 } from 'openapi-types';

const components: OpenAPIV3.ComponentsObject = {
  schemas: {
    'Product': {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        id: {
          type: 'integer',
          format: 'int64'
        },
        name: {
          type: 'string'
        }
      }
    }
  }
};"}

Other packages similar to openapi-types

swagger-jsdoc

This package allows you to integrate Swagger using JSDoc comments directly in your code. Unlike openapi-types, which provides TypeScript definitions, swagger-jsdoc is more about generating OpenAPI documentation from code comments.

swagger-ui-express

Used to serve auto-generated swagger-ui generated API docs from express, based on a swagger.json file. It is different from openapi-types as it focuses on the visualization and interaction with the API documentation rather than providing type definitions.

swagger-parser

A package that validates and dereferences Swagger and OpenAPI files. While openapi-types provides type definitions, swagger-parser is more about ensuring the validity and resolving references in OpenAPI documents.
