  • Pragmatic development

    First, swagger-php generates openapi.yaml based on code attributes, and then the spectator checks API responses to match openapi specification. The popular L5-Swagger is redundant in this case, as it is based on the same swagger-php with the addition of Swagger UI.
  • What's your go-to API documentation generator

    Any particular package? I'm looking for something that will ideally inspect the api.php or controllers, and generator from there. I've found this: https://github.com/DarkaOnLine/L5-Swagger -- will give it a go.
  • Swagger/Open api integration in laravel
    3 projects | /r/laravel | 25 May 2022
    I have been using laravel since one and a half years, mainly for apis building. I also use dotnet where the integration of swagger/open api is very easy. With some attributes, we can customize our documentation (http codes, possible return types,..). I am looking for a way to use it in laravel but I don't find one that satisfies me. I have tried [L5-Swagger](https://github.com/DarkaOnLine/L5-Swagger/) but I don't find it practical for several reasons : - Too much comments to write
  • Validate your PHP API tests against OpenAPI definitions – a Laravel example
    10 projects | dev.to | 22 Mar 2022
    The second one is L5 Swagger, a popular package bringing Swagger PHP and Swagger UI to Laravel. We actually don't need Swagger PHP here, as it uses Doctrine annotations to generate OpenAPI definitions and we're going to manually write our own instead. We do need Swagger UI, however, and the package conveniently adapts it to work with Laravel (the -W option is simply here to also update related dependencies, to avoid conflicts).
