Serverless Swagger

Maps swagger configuration to serverless handlers.

Installation

If you don't have a serverless project, create one now:

sls create -t aws-nodejs --path MyService
cd MyService

then

yarn init

npm init

Inside your serverless project directory:

yarn add serverless_swagger

npm install serverless_swagger

Add the following to serverless.yml:

plugins:
  - serverless_swagger

The plugin looks for a swagger.yml in your serverless project. You can provide a different name by specifying a custom variable:

custom:
  swagger_file: swagger.yml

A complete set of JS handlers and the appropriate serverless.yml configuration can be generated

sls swagger

Existing files should not be overwritten, meaning that the swagger can be updated and new functions generated without losing customisations.

Generated files can be output to a specified directory using the --output flag and a destination directory (which must exist).

sls swagger --output output

At deploy, each function will be mapped to API Gateway events based on the swagger specification.

Functions are mapped by parsing the path and method in the swagger spec to a function name in serverless.yml.

For example, given the following serverless.yml and swagger.yml definitions

functions:
  getClientById:
    handler: getClientById/handler.main
  getClientByName:
    handler: getClientByName/handler.main

  paths:
    /client/{id}:
      get:
        summary: "Get client  id"      
    /blah
      get:
        summary: "Get blah"

The getClientById function will be mapped to an API gateway event in the form:

events:
  - http:
      method: get
      path: /client/{id}

The getClientByName does not match any summary information and will not have an event
