OpenApiParser

Build Status

A gem for parsing Open API specifications.

Usage

First, resolve a specification given an absolute file path.

specification = OpenApiParser::Specification.resolve("/path/to/my/specification.yaml")

When you resolve your file, all references will be expanded and inlined. The fully resolved specification will be validated against the Open API V2 meta schema. If you'd like to prevent meta schema validation, you can provide an option to do so.

specification = OpenApiParser::Specification.resolve("/path/to/my/specification.yaml", validate_meta_schema: false)

If you'd rather instantiate a specification with a fully resolved ruby hash, you can do so by directly instantiating an OpenApiParser::Specification::Root.

OpenApiParser::Specification::Root.new({...})

Reference resolution

OpenApiParser::Specification.resolve will fully resolve the provided Open API specification by inlining all JSON References. Two types of references are allowed:

Pointers are resolved from the root of the document in which they appear. File references are resolved relative to the file in which they appear. Here's an example of each:

definitions:
  person:
    type: object
    properties:
      name:
        type: string
      age:
        type: integer

info:
  person:
    $ref: "/definitions/person"
  other:
    $ref: "file:another/file.yaml"

For more information, see the specs.

Endpoints

With a resolved schema, you can access the information for an endpoint given a path and an HTTP verb.

endpoint = specification.endpoint("/animals", "post")

With an endpoint, you can get access to JSON schema representations of the body, headers, path, query params and response body and headers defined in your Open API specification. You can use these to validate input using any existing JSON Schema library. We recommend JsonSchema.

endpoint.body_schema
# => {...}

endpoint.header_schema
# => {...}

endpoint.path_schema
# => {...}

endpoint.query_schema
# => {...}

endpoint.response_body_schema(201)
# => {...}

endpoint.response_header_schema(201)
# => {...}

You can also use the endpoint to transform user input into json that can be validated against the schemas generated in the previous examples.

endpoint.header_json(request_headers_as_hash)
# => {...}

endpoint.path_json("/animals/123?query=param")
# => {...}

endpoint.query_json(request_query_params_as_hash)
# => {...}

For more information, see the specs.

Installation
