swagger-php

Posts with mentions or reviews of swagger-php. We have used some of these posts to build our list of alternatives and similar projects. The last one was on 2022-10-31.
  • Workplaces for digital nomads: the API
    9 projects | dev.to | 31 Oct 2022
    Native PHP attributes allowed OpenAPI markup to be much more compact than in DocBlocks. The resulting openapi.yaml is created with swagger-php and used to test the API.
  • Pragmatic development
    6 projects | dev.to | 13 Oct 2022
    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.
  • Swagger/Open api integration in laravel
    3 projects | /r/laravel | 25 May 2022
    I do this except use https://github.com/zircote/swagger-php for writing the open api spec. I can enter the Spatie Data Object classes into the parameters, responses, and properties. Like op said though, it's a lot of comments and stuff to keep updated. Entirely using reflection (or reflection plus ability to manually specify certain extra things) like you're talking about sounds great.
  • OpenAPI Specification: The Complete Guide
    19 projects | dev.to | 18 May 2022
    wagger-php is a php swagger annotation and parsing library which generates interactive OpenAPI documentation for your RESTful API using doctrine annotations. - GitHub - zircote/swagger-php
  • 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).
  • Need to create OpenAPI documentation with Zend Framework 2
    1 project | /r/OpenAPI | 25 Nov 2021
    I need to create REST API documentation for a legacy Zend Framework 2 project. I tried to use zircote/swagger-php . It works with the new zf2 skeleton project but it fails when I use it in the legacy zf2 project. It adds Symfony/polyfill-php80 and it generates to issue. Anybody could help me on this issue. If you can suggest another package for API documentation also be a great help. Thanks.
  • Dynamic class property with phpdoc included
    3 projects | /r/PHPhelp | 31 Jul 2021
    It is possible that there is a library doing this already. I am not PHP coder so would like to avoid complex frameworks and stick with barebone solution doing only this Swagger/JSON stuff. For swagger, I decided to go with zircote/swagger-php. I would like my schema and model classes to have nice Swagger doc and at the same time I can use them to prepare objects to interact with the DB by loading/dumping from JSON.
  • Creating API documentation from php files?
    4 projects | /r/PHP | 3 Feb 2021
    I'm using this library to generate an open api 3 (swagger) yaml file. You add @OA markup to your doc blocks and then can have this generate a file or produce it on the fly. It's a bit sparse on documentation but is working really well with my MVC set up for a REST API I'm developing. https://github.com/zircote/swagger-php
  • Json schema out of an entity or DTO
    1 project | /r/symfony | 12 Jan 2021
    I like the swagger way of generating schema's by annotating classes.. Swagger/OpenApi 3.0 uses a slightly modified subset of json schema, would that be of use to you?

  • Generating an OpenAPI/Swagger spec from a Ruby on Rails API

  • Build JSON schemas fluently!

    Made a library a while back that helped me write JSON schemas for rswag. Hope others find it useful!
  • 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.

  • OpenAPI Specification: The Complete Guide

    Hello guys, I'm working on a rails (4.x) project, trying to implement a way to create docs for OpenApi 3 and Swagger (I started to learn rails in october last year), this project has like 6 years old, a lot of endpoints and very poor documentation, my first option is Rswag, does anyone knows a good example project for these gem?
  • 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
