Create documentation easily in Adonis 4.x using Swagger 😍
adonis install adonis-swagger
-
Register
SwaggerProvider
instart/app.js
:const providers = [ ... 'adonis-swagger/providers/SwaggerProvider' ]
-
Note: For projects that uses API-only blueprint (using
--api-only
flag), please enableAdonis/Middleware/Static
underserverMiddleware
instart/kernel.js
:const serverMiddleware = [ 'Adonis/Middleware/Static', ... ]
-
For other configuration, please update the
config/swagger.js
.
-
Add new route:
Route.get('/api/hello', 'TestController.hello')
-
Create
TestController
usingadonis make:controller Test
command:'use strict' class TestController { /** * @swagger * /api/hello: * get: * tags: * - Test * summary: Sample API * parameters: * - name: name * description: Name of the user * in: query * required: false * type: string * responses: * 200: * description: Send hello message * example: * message: Hello Guess */ async hello({ request, response }) { const name = request.input('name', 'Guess') response.send({ message: 'Hello ' + name }) } } module.exports = TestController
-
You can also define the schema in the Models:
'use strict' const Model = use('Model') /** * @swagger * definitions: * User: * type: object * properties: * id: * type: uint * username: * type: string * email: * type: string * password: * type: string * required: * - username * - email * - password */ class User extends Model { } module.exports = User
-
Or create a separate file containing documentation from the APIs in either JS or YAML formats, sample structure:
project ├── app ├── config ├── docs │ ├── controllers │ │ ├── **/*.js │ │ ├── **/*.yml │ └── models │ ├── **/*.js │ ├── **/*.yml
-
For other sample in YAML and JS format, please refer to this link.
Open http://localhost:3333/docs in your browser, ayeey 🎉
