Sinatra::Swagger

Extensions & helper methods for accesing your swagger documentation from within your sinatra routes.

This library is in the very early stages of development, there will be 'obvious' features that are missing and wild inefficiencies, but please feel free to file issues/enhancements if there's anything you think would be useful.

This extension encorporates all the extensions in a way that makes sense for most web applications, it's included by default for "classic" style applications.

require "sinatra"
require "sinatra/swagger"

swagger "my-swagger.yaml"

# …etc

require "sinatra/base"
require "sinatra/swagger"

class Search < Sinatra::Base
  register Sinatra::Swagger::RecommendedSetup
  swagger "my-swagger.yaml"

  # …etc
end

This extension will use the parameters component of the route being accessed from your Swagger document to type cast your incoming parameters and raise 400 errors if any are incorrect:

Your swagger 2.0 documentation, in the root of your project at swagger/search.yaml, might have some of these components:

swagger: 2.0
paths:
  /search/{type}:
    get:
      parameters:
        - name: type
          in: path
          description: Type of object to search for
          required: true
        - name: q
          in: query
          type: string
          required: true
        - name: limit
          in: query
          type: integer
          minimum: 1
          required: false
          default: 20

You would load that in your sinatra application like this:

require "sinatra/base"
require "sinatra/swagger"

class Search < Sinatra::Base
  register Sinatra::Swagger::ParamValidator
  swagger "swagger/search.yaml"

  get "/search/*" do
    # Sinatra::Swagger has pulled out the 'type' from the path
    search_type = params['type']
    # Sinatra::Swagger has ensured limit is integer-like, is one or bigger, and will be set to 20 if not given by the user
    limit = params['limit']

    swagger_spec # => is the hash from the spec at `paths/search/{type}.get`
  end
end

For now, if you were to request /search/books?limit=p then a before hook would catch the error and return a 400 with a JSON description of the issue.

{
  "error": "invalid_params",
  "developerMessage": "Some of the given parameters were invalid according to the Swagger spec.",
  "details": {
    "invalidities": {
        "limit": "incorrect_type",
        "q": "missing"
    }
  }
}

You can override what happens when an invalidity is encountered by overriding the helper method invalid_params which takes a hash of invalidities in the form param_name => issue_description_as_symbol.

While you're developing it can be really helpful to know that the output of your endpoints matches your spec. The spec enforcer will raise an exception if the data you're sending to the user doesn't conform to your swagger declared schema (if there is one).

Your Swagger 2.0 doc at swagger/shows.yaml might have some bits that look like this:

swagger: 2.0
paths:
  /shows/{showId}:
    responses:
      200:
        schema:
          title: Details describing a post
          type: object
          required:
            - name
          additionalProperties: false
          properties:
            name:
              type: string

You could reference it like this:

require "sinatra/base"
require "sinatra/swagger"

class Search < Sinatra::Base
  register Sinatra::Swagger::SpecEnforcer unless production?
  swagger "swagger/shows.yaml"

  get "/shows/*" do
    {
      title: "This isn't a schema-valid response"
    }.to_json
  end
end

The after hook will check the response body and will run the schema validation and raise a JSON::Schema::ValidationError exception as the output doesn't match the schema.

In order to not be restrictive, if the output doesn't look like JSON or if there's no schema defined, then no action will be taken and the body will be sent to the client.

This module configures your application to respond to requests to the root (/) using the SPEC verb. The response is text/vnd.swagger.v2+yaml with the full swagger document that your server is using.

require "sinatra/base"
require "sinatra/swagger"

class Search < Sinatra::Base
  register Sinatra::Swagger::SpecVerb
  swagger "swagger/shows.yaml"
end

Inspecting a curl request:

$ curl -v -X SPEC http://127.0.0.1:9292
> SPEC / HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.37.1
> Host: 127.0.0.1:9292
> Accept: */*
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Content-Type: text/vnd.swagger.v2+yaml; charset=utf-8
---
swagger: 2.0
paths:
  /shows/{showId}:
  # …etc

Adds an X-Application-Version header to every response which is set to the application title and version as set in the Swagger document, eg. X-Application-Version: Application Title (0.1.0)

require "sinatra/base"
require "sinatra/swagger"

class Search < Sinatra::Base
  register Sinatra::Swagger::VersionHeader
  swagger "swagger/shows.yaml"
end
