  • rswag

    Seamlessly adds a Swagger to Rails-based API's

  • 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.

  • swagger-docs

    Generates swagger-ui json files for Rails APIs with a simple DSL.

  • brick

    Auto-generate models, views, controllers, and routes in a Rails app based on database structure (by lorint)

  • **[The Brick](https://github.com/lorint/brick)** will auto-create restful OpenAPI / Swagger documentation along with API endpoints when it sees that **rswag-ui** is present. Both standard Rails models and also views can be exposed using this gem, because it auto-creates models for any views in the database. https://github.com/lorint/brick/raw/master/docs/api1.png Support for this feature is expanding -- a more feature-complete update is due to be shipped when v1.0.104 drops on Monday the 13th.
