  • Documenting Forem's v1 API
    4 projects | dev.to | 19 Jan 2023
    Forem, which is a Ruby on Rails app, integrates Swagger via a gem - the rswag gem. The rswag Ruby gem allows us to create a Swagger-based DSL for describing and testing our API operations. It also extends rspec-rails "request specs”, hence, allowing our documentation to be a part of our test suite which allows us to make requests with test parameters and seed data that invoke different response codes. As a result, we are able to test what the requests and responses look like, however we do not test the business logic that drives the endpoint - that is tested elsewhere in the code.
  • How do you document your code?
    3 projects | /r/rails | 17 Jan 2023
    Using something like rswag will give you some ability, in the specs, to also describe the endpoints and auto-generate some documentation.
  • Is there a way to easily autogenerate API documentation for a Ruby on Rails API?
    4 projects | /r/rails | 10 Jan 2023
    Hello! I would like to autogenerate API documentation for my Ruby on Rails Application. However, all of the solutions I've found such as https://github.com/rswag/rswag and https://github.com/richhollis/swagger-docs involve writing tests or manually describing the endpoint responses. I am hoping to find something similar to Swashbuckle for ASP.Net Core but for Ruby on Rails. Below is an example of using Swashbuckle's ASP.NET Core to autogenerate Swagger API documentation. The response type is inferred form the return type of the action.

  • Help with Rswag + openapi-generator-cli
    1 project | /r/rubyonrails | 7 Mar 2022
    I'm using the Rswag gem to document my API. Right now I have a WIP here: https://cabal-fintech.herokuapp.com/api-docs/v1/swagger.json but whenever I try to validate it on the swagger validator I get an error not even understandable to me, as that route doesn't need [params].item
