Plugin options example

The plugin level options are added as you register the hapi-swagger plugin.

const options = {
    'info': {
        'title': 'Test API Documentation',
        'version': '5.14.3',
        'contact': {
            'name': 'Glenn Jones',
            'email': '[email protected]'
    },
    'schemes': ['https'],
    'host': 'example.com'
};

await server.register([
    Inert,
    Vision,
    {
        plugin: HapiSwagger,
        options: options
    }
]);

try {
    await server.start( (err) => {
    console.log('Server running at:', server.info.uri);
} catch(err) {
    console.log(err);
}
server.route(Routes);

Route options example

The route level options are always placed within the plugins.hapi-swagger object under config. These options are only assigned to the route they are apply to.

{
    method: 'PUT',
    path: '/store/{id}',
    config: {
        handler: handlers.storeUpdate,
        plugins: {
            'hapi-swagger': {
                responses: {
                    '400': {
                        'description': 'BadRequest'
                    }
                },
                payloadType: 'form'
            }
        },
        tags: ['api'],
        validate: {
            payload: {
                a: Joi.number().required().description('the first number')
