HELP NEEDED! Search for a Developer

Because of my limited time i need one or more devs that could build and maintain a "Send Sample Request Plugin".

The Plugin should be loose coupled to the template, so it should be a separate project. This Plugin should send example data to an API-Endpoint and process the response. Supported formats should be JSON, XML, whatever.

Many issues belong to the current (unmaintained) plugin, (Milestone: Send Sample Request Plugin)(https://github.com/apidoc/apidoc/milestone/4) If you want ot work on this, please send me a PM.

Installation

$ npm install apidoc -g

Alternative docker install

$ docker pull apidoc/apidoc

Then you will need to mount your file storage -v '<apidoc.json dir>:/apidoc' to docker container.

Example:

$ docker run --rm -v '$(PWD):/apidoc' -it apidoc/apidoc \
    --input ./example \
    --output ./docker-example \
    -v

Creates from input files in example/ a documentation in path docker-example/.
