Swagger Annotations Generator for Laravel 5.0 and up.
This package uses the Swagger PHP library and Laravel to generate an OpenAPI 3.0-compliant JSON Specification.
This package supports Laravel 5.0 and above.
$ composer require kevupton/laravel-swagger
\Kevupton\LaravelSwagger\scan($path, $models);
Define your Eloquent Models as shown below, in order for laravel-swagger
to include in your specification:
/** @var Swagger\Annotations\Swagger $swagger */
$swagger = \Kevupton\LaravelSwagger\scan(app_path('location'), [
'models' => [
/** All models go in here */
\App\Models\User::class,
]
]);
Example model:
class User {
protected $table = 'users';
protected $fillable = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'image_id'];
protected $hidden = ['created_at', 'updated_at', 'image_id'];
protected $with = ['image'];
public $timestamps = true;
public function image() {
return $this->belongsTo(Image::class);
}
}
"App\\Models\\User": {
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "string"
},
"first_name": {
"type": "string"
},
"last_name": {
"type": "string"
},
"image": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/App\\Models\\Image"
}
}
}
Laravel-Swagger allows you to define a generic, customized output for each Controller. It requires a parent controller to define the base of each output response.
For example, you have controllers TestController
, FooController
and BarController
which serves API requests.
Each of the index
methods share similar functionality, which is to display a list of results with pagination. The router definition is as follows:
Route::get('/v1/test', ['uses' => 'TestController@index', 'as' => 'v1.test.index']);
Route::get('/v1/foo', ['uses' => 'FooController@index', 'as' => 'v1.foo.index']);
Route::get('/v1/bar', ['uses' => 'BarController@index', 'as' => 'v1.bar.index']);
Route::get('/v1/bar/{bar}', ['uses' => 'BarController@show', 'as' => 'v1.bar.show']);
I have a custom package to help with Controller functionality which can be found at Ethereal's Resource Trait
Since these Controllers share the same basic output, you can utilize a BaseController
that the above Controllers may inherit from. An example BaseController
is shown below:
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Routing\Controller;
use Kevupton\LaravelSwagger\DynamicMethod;
use Swagger\Annotations\Parameter;
use Swagger\Annotations\Response;
class BaseController extends Controller {
//Define the function that returns the dynamic methods
public static function getSwaggerRoutes() {
return [
'index' => DynamicMethod::GET([
'tags' => ['{{tag}}'],
'summary' => '{{summary}}',
'parameters' => [
new Parameter([
'in' => 'query',
'name' => 'page',
'description' => 'the page number',
'required' => false,
'type' => 'string'
])
],
'value' => new Response([
'response' => 200,
'description' => 'test',
'ref' => '{{response}}'
])
])
];
}
}
getSwaggerRoutes
is a method that defines the template structure of the specification for the above mentioned Controllers.
You would have noticed, that there are placeholder values, such as {{response}}
, included in the above definition. These values will be replaced with the values found on each of the child Controllers. Refer to the section on keys.
Referring to the routing definition as shown here, the key index
refers to the route key index
of the above Router definitions.
For example, referring to the above, the router key index
defined in getSwaggerRoutes
will apply to the route v1.bar.index
, and not v1.bar.show
.
Likewise, v1.test.index
will match the above definition, but not v1.index.test
.
{{keyname}} keyname refers to the name of the static variable in your Controller, whose value it will be replaced with.
public static $keyname = 'Value that will be replaced';
Referring to the example, you can see the example keys:
'tags' => ['{{tag}}'],
'summary' => '{{summary}}',
'value' => '{{response}}',
The default handler will search the Child Controller for each variable of the same name, and replace the key with the values the variable contains.
class TestController {
public static $tag = "my custom tag";
public static $summary = "how awesome is this";
public static $response = "#/definitions/Response"
This is one of the paths located in the swagger json output.
{
"/v1/test": {
"get": {
"tags": [
"my custom tag"
],
"summary": "how awesome is this",
"parameters": [
{
"name": "page",
"in": "query",
"description": "the page number",
"required": false,
"type": "string"
},
],
"responses": {
"200": {
"description": "test",
"schema": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/dynamic-definition-1"
}
}
}
},
}
NOTE The default handler will replace the key with the static variable of the same name found in your Controller. You may modify this behavior in the section Editing the Default Behaviour.
Should you require to change the default behavior of the default handler, you may extend the handler class, and implement the handle
method, as shown below.
<?php namespace App\Handlers;
use Kevupton\LaravelSwagger\DynamicHandler;
use Kevupton\LaravelSwagger\LaravelSwagger;
use Kevupton\LaravelSwagger\ValueContainer;
class CustomHandler extends DynamicHandler {
/**
* The handler which sets all the values in the dynamic definition.
*
* @param String $class the Controller class name
* @param LaravelSwagger $LS the LaravelSwagger instance.
* @throws DynamicHandlerException
*/
public function handle($class, LaravelSwagger $LS) {
//all the registered keys
$keys = $this->method->keys();
$key = 'response';
//get the value of from the class
$value = ValueContainer::getValue($class, $key);
/**
* Do some handling here of the value?
*/
//to set a registered key
$this->method->set($key, $value);
}
}
To use your new custom handler, you may define getSwaggerHandler
, returning the ::class
of the new Custom Handler, as shown below.
use App\Handlers\CustomHandler;
class BaseController extends Controller {
//The method for defining the custom handler
public static function getSwaggerHandler() {
return CustomHandler::class;
}
}
Should your Child Controller contains the definition of a static variable, overriding the parent Controller's values, the Child Controller's values will take effect.
Instead of defining the getSwaggerMethods
, getSwaggerRoutes
and getSwaggerHandler
directly in your parent and child Controllers, you may define them in a separate class.
You may then include it in your BaseController, or any other Controllers, using the static variable $swagger_container
. Please refer to the example below.
<?php namespace App\Swagger;
use Kevupton\LaravelSwagger\DynamicMethod;
use Kevupton\LaravelSwagger\MethodContainer;
class CustomContainer extends MethodContainer {
/**
* Gets
* @return DynamicMethod[]
*/
public function getSwaggerMethods()
{
// TODO: Implement getSwaggerMethods() method.
}
/**
* Gets the Routes for the container
*
* @return DynamicMethod[]
*/
public function getSwaggerRoutes()
{
// TODO: Implement getSwaggerRoutes() method.
}
/**
* Gets the default Handler class
*
* @return string the Class Name of the DynamicHandler instance
*/
public function getSwaggerHandler()
{
// TODO: Implement getSwaggerHandler() method.
}
}
use App\Swagger\CustomContainer;
class BaseController extends Controller {
public static $swagger_container = CustomContainer::class;
}
