oas-wizard

This tool, oas-wizard, is a simple OpenAPI Spec generator using a .yaml resource sample as starting point.

Usage

Install oas-wizard globally:

npm install -g oas-wizard

The command sintax is the following:

oas-wizard <OpenAPISpecFile.yaml> <ResourceSampleFile.yaml> <ResourceName> <IdPropertyName>

You can also run it without installing with npx:

npx oas-wizard <OpenAPISpecFile.yaml> <ResourceSampleFile.yaml> <ResourceName> <IdPropertyName>

Thirty seconds tutorial - From zero to REST server!

In this tutorial, you will be able to generate a RESTful API server in just three commands (Node.js required). Let's start:

1. Clone our tutorial folder to obtain an example input file for the tool:

   npx degit https://github.com/isa-group/oas-wizard/tutorial

2. Use this tool to generate the openAPI specification with one of the tutorial resource sample files downloaded:

   npx oas-wizard pet-oas.yaml petSample.yaml pet name

3. Use oas-generator, to generate the server from the OAS file generated:

   npx oas-generator pet-oas.yaml -n petServer

Now to run the server just access the petServer folder and run npm start. Once the dependencies are installed access localhost:8080/docs to see the SwaggerUI API documentation.

Five minutes tutorial - Create your own RESTful API

This tool is expected to be used in combination with others; as an example we propose the following lifecycle:

1. Think about an example of resource and write it in yaml (e.g. contactSample.yaml)

   nick: Peter
   phone: 123456
   email: "peter@peter.org"

2. Use oas-wizard to generate the OAS spec (e.g. contact-oas.yaml) based on the sample file you created using with a resource name and the id property:

   oas-wizard contact-oas.yaml contactSample.yaml contact nick

3. Generate a server scaffolding with oas-generator (using node v8 or up)

   npm install -g oas-generator
   oas-generator contact-oas.yaml -n contactServer
   cd contactServer
   npm start

You should have a fully working API server mockup up and running in port 8080. Check the SwaggerUI API documentation at localhost:8080/docs.

Now it's your turn to implement the controllers for each operation (files controllers/*Service.js).

Enjoy your API!
