A starter template for OpenAPI Specification projects.
This project breaks the Swagger Petstore example from the official documentation into smaller files. It also adds some handy commands to build, lint, and preview the OpenAPI specification from the command-line.
- 📝 Write OpenAPI definitions in different files.
- 🔀 Combine all files with APIDevTools/swagger-cli.
- ✅ Validate and lint the OAS document with stoplight/spectral
- ✨ Publish reference docs with redocly/redoc & GitHub pages
I have defined several OpenAPI specifications recently. But, I always ended with large OpenAPI documents, which were a nightmare to maintain.
So I made this opinionated starter template to define, test, and publish modular OpenAPI specifications. Either if you want to create a new OpenAPI document from scratch or you already have it defined, you can use this template to guide the organization of your project.
- Node.js 14 LTS
- Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/dgarcia360/openapi-boilerplate.git
- Install the project dependencies.
npm install
- Edit
openapi.yamlto fit your API definition. If you are not familiar with the OpenAPI Specification, it's worth taking a look first to the documentation.
The command bundles the spec as one .yaml file.
npm run build
The minified document is stored in _build/openapi.yaml.
The command checks if the document follows the OpenAPI 3.0 Specification.
npm run test
The command builds a docs site so that you can view the rendering on your local browser.
npm run preview
The server starts on http://127.0.0.1:8080
The project uses GitHub Actions for Continous Integration.
On every new pull request, the OpenAPI document is linted with spectral. If there are changes that introduce errors, the bot will highlight them replying to the pull request.
When the default branch (master) receives an update, a workflow automatically publishes the API reference documentation site to GitHub Pages. The site is generated with ReDoc.
See .github/workflows to customize the available workflows. If you don't plan to use GitHub to host your spec or prefer to keep docs private, delete the .github folder.
Contributions are welcome and appreciated! If you want to enhance the boilerplate, please read CONTRIBUTING.md file first.
