OpenApiAnnotator

OpenApiAnnotator realizes to generate OpenAPI spec by annotating to controllers and serializers. If you use ActiveModelSerializer, this is the best way to generate OpenAPI spec.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'open_api_annotator'

Usage

Annotating controllers and serializers, you can generate OpenAPI spec file from these. Things you have to do are three below:

1. Configure API meta information
2. Annotate controllers
3. Annotate serializers

1. Configure API meta information

You have to set API meta information like:

# config/initializers/open_api_annotator.rb
OpenApiAnnotator.configure do |config|
  config.info = OpenApi::Info.new(title: "Book API", version: "1")
  config.destination_path = Rails.root.join("api_spec.yml")
  config.path_regexp = /\Aapi\/v1\// # If you want to restrict a path to create
end

2. Annotate controller

To define an entity of an endpoint, call the method endpoint in the previous line of an action method. It takes entity expression as the first arg. Entity expression is a model class or an array that contains only one model class.

class Api::V1::BooksController
  endpoint [Book] # 👈It means an array of Book
  def index
    books = Book.limit(10)
    render json: books
  end

  endpoint Book # 👈Just a Book
  def show
    book = Book.find(params[:id])
    render json: book
  end

  endpoint Book # 👈Just a Book
  def update
     book = Book.find(params[:id])
     book.update!(book_params)
     render json: book
  end
end

3. Annotate serializer

To define an schema in components, set type, format, nullable as each field option.

class BookSerializer < ApplicationSerializer
  attribute :title, type: :string, nullable: false
  attribute :published_at, type: :string, format: :"date-time", nullable: true

  has_many :authors, type: [Author], nullable: false
  has_one :cover_image, type: CoverImage, nullable: true
  belongs_to :publisher, type: Publisher, nullable: false
end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number using bundle exec bump patch(or minor, major), and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
