open-rest-rest

Minimal examples to use swagger/openapi spec standalone for accessing the swagger petstore.

• swagger-ui via swagger-ui-dest
• swagger-ui via swagger-ui-express
• Test client using swagger-client
• Spec validation via sway
• Also include dredd (but found that mysterious)

Usage

This is a node project consisting of

• the Swagger UI
• a general-purpose proxy to circumvent CORS problems

The proxy is suited for http and https rest services.

By default, the following paths/endpoints are used

• http://localhost:3000/ui to access the swagger ui
• http://localhost:3000/ui/static to access the project directory and its subdirectories
• all other paths are forwarded to the proxied URL

Help

Try

 ./node_modules/.bin/ts-node swagger-ui-dist.ts -h

to get basic help.

Example

Say you want to proxy a jhipster microservice but you have to edit its openapi spec before using.

Let's assume Springdoc Openapi will serve the spec at http://localhost:8083/v3/api-docs You could download this URL as api-docs.json and adapt it to your needs.

After that, point your browser to http://localhost:3000/ui/ to access the Swagger UI. You can see a input text field to type the URL of the API to use in at the very top the UI.

In this field you can now fill in http://localhost:3000/ui/static/api-docs.json and click the 'Explore' button.

Of course, if there is no need to edit the spec, you could directly use http://localhost:3000/v3/api-docs here. (But http://localhost:8083/v3/api-docs would not work because of CORS.)
