swag is a lightweight library to generate swagger json for Go projects.
No code generation, no framework constraints, just a simple swagger definition.
swag is heavily geared towards generating REST/JSON apis.
go get github.com/savaki/swagThis package should be considered a release candidate. No further package changes are expected at this point.
swag uses functional options to generate both the swagger endpoints and the swagger definition. Where possible
swag attempts to use reasonable defaults that may be overridden by the user.
swag provides a separate package, endpoint, to generate swagger endpoints. These endpoints can be passed
to the swagger definition generate via swag.Endpoints(...)
In this simple example, we generate an endpoint to retrieve all pets. The only required fields for an endpoint are the method, path, and the summary.
allPets := endpoint.New("get", "/pet", "Return all the pets") However, it'll probably be useful if you include definitions of what GET /pet returns:
allPets := endpoint.New("get", "/pet", "Return all the pets",
endpoint.Response(http.StatusOk, Pet{}, "Successful operation"),
endpoint.Response(http.StatusInternalServerError, Error{}, "Oops ... something went wrong"),
) Refer to the godoc for a list of all the endpoint options
As a convenience to users, *swagger.Api implements a Walk method to simplify traversal of all the endpoints.
See the complete example below for how Walk can be used to bind endpoints to the router.
api := swag.New(
swag.Title("Swagger Petstore"),
swag.Endpoints(post, get),
)
// iterate over each endpoint, if we've defined a handler, we can use it to bind to the router. We're using ```gin``
// in this example, but any web framework will do.
//
api.Walk(func(path string, endpoint *swagger.Endpoint) {
h := endpoint.Handler.(func(c *gin.Context))
path = swag.ColonPath(path)
router.Handle(endpoint.Method, path, h)
})For types implementing json.Marshaler whose JSON output does not match their Go types (such as time.Time),
it is possible to override the default scanning of types and define a property manually.
For example:
type Person struct {
Name string `json:"name"`
Birthday time.Time `json:"birthday"`
}
func main() {
RegisterCustomType(time.Time{}, Property{
Type: "string",
Format: "date-time",
})
}time.Time is automatically registered as a custom type.
func handlePet(w http.ResponseWriter, _ *http.Request) {
// your code here
}
type Pet struct {
Id int64 `json:"id"`
Name string `json:"name"`
PhotoUrls []string `json:"photoUrls"`
Tags []string `json:"tags"`
}
func main() {
// define our endpoints
//
post := endpoint.New("post", "/pet", "Add a new pet to the store",
endpoint.Handler(handle),
endpoint.Description("Additional information on adding a pet to the store"),
endpoint.Body(Pet{}, "Pet object that needs to be added to the store", true),
endpoint.Response(http.StatusOK, Pet{}, "Successfully added pet"),
)
get := endpoint.New("get", "/pet/{petId}", "Find pet by ID",
endpoint.Handler(handle),
endpoint.Path("petId", "integer", "ID of pet to return", true),
endpoint.Response(http.StatusOK, Pet{}, "successful operation"),
)
// define the swagger api that will contain our endpoints
//
api := swag.New(
swag.Title("Swagger Petstore"),
swag.Endpoints(post, get),
)
// iterate over each endpoint and add them to the default server mux
//
for path, endpoints := range api.Paths {
http.Handle(path, endpoints)
}
// use the api to server the swagger.json file
//
enableCors := true
http.Handle("/swagger", api.Handler(enableCors))
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
