Laravel Swagger plugin
Introduction
This plugin is designed to generate documentation for your REST API during the passing PHPUnit tests.
Installation
-
Install the package using the following command:
composer require ronasit/laravel-swagger
Note
For Laravel 5.5 or later the package will be auto-discovered. For older versions add the
AutoDocServiceProvider
to the providers array inconfig/app.php
as follow:'providers' => [ // ... RonasIT\Support\AutoDoc\AutoDocServiceProvider::class, ],
-
Run
php artisan vendor:publish
-
Add
\RonasIT\Support\AutoDoc\Http\Middleware\AutoDocMiddleware::class
middleware to the global HTTP middleware stack inHttp/Kernel.php
. -
Add
\RonasIT\Support\AutoDoc\Tests\AutoDocTestCaseTrait
trait totests/TestCase.php
-
Configure documentation saving using one of the next ways:
- Add
SwaggerExtension
to the<extensions>
block of yourphpunit.xml
. Please note that this way will be removed after updating PHPUnit up to 10 version (sebastianbergmann/phpunit#4676)<extensions> <extension class="RonasIT\Support\AutoDoc\Tests\PhpUnitExtensions\SwaggerExtension"/> </extensions> <testsuites> <testsuite name="Feature"> <directory suffix="Test.php">./tests/Feature</directory> </testsuite> </testsuites>
- Call
php artisan swagger:push-documentation
console command after thetests
stage in your CI/CD configuration
Usage
Basic usage
-
Create request class:
<?php namespace App\Http\Requests; use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest; /** * @summary Update user * * @description * This request should be used for updating the user data * * @_204 Successful * * @is_active will indicate whether the user is active or not */ class UpdateUserDataRequest extends FormRequest { /** * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request. * * @return bool */ public function authorize() { return true; } /** * Validation Rules * * @return array */ public function rules() { return [ 'name' => 'string', 'is_active' => 'boolean', 'age' => 'integer|nullable' ]; } }
Note
For correct working of plugin you'll have to dispose all the validation rules in the
rules()
method of your request class. Also, your request class must be connected to the controller via dependency injection. Plugin will take validation rules from the request class and generate fields description of input parameter. -
Create a controller and a method for your route:
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use App\Http\Requests\Users\UpdateUserDataRequest; class UserController extends Controller { public function update(UpdateUserDataRequest $request, UserService $service, $id) { // do something here... return response('', Response::HTTP_NO_CONTENT); } }
Note
Dependency injection of request class is optional but if it not presents, the "Parameters" block in the API documentation will be empty.
-
Create test for API endpoint:
public function testUpdate() { $response = $this->json('put', '/users/1', [ 'name': 'Updated User', 'is_active': true, 'age': 22 ]); $response->assertStatus(Response::HTTP_NO_CONTENT); }
-
Run tests
-
Go to route defined in the
auto-doc.route
config -
Profit!
Annotations
You can use the following annotations in your request classes to customize documentation of your API endpoints:
- @summary - short description of request
- @description - implementation notes
- @_204 - custom description of response code. You can specify any code as you want.
- @some_field - description of the field from the rules method
Note
If you do not use request class, the summary and description and parameters will be empty.
Configs
auto-doc.route
- route for generated documentationauto-doc.basePath
- root of your API
Custom driver
You can specify the way to collect documentation by creating your own custom driver.
You can find example of drivers here.
