Introduction

A simple plugin for Fastify that generates OpenAPI spec automatically.

http://sw.cowtech.it/fastify-openapi-docs

Installation

Just run:

npm install fastify-openapi-docs --save

Usage

Register as a plugin as early as possible (in order to track all routes), optional providing any of the following options:

openapi: The OpenAPI document header.
prefix: Where to serve the OpenAPI files. The default value is /docs/.
skipUI: If set true, the the OpenAPI / Swagger UI will not be served.

Routes should contain a openapi object inside the config with all desired OpenAPI annotations.

Non JSON responses can be generated by setting the $raw key in the response schema to the appropriate MIME type.

Empty responses can be generated by setting the $empty key in the response schema to true.

When using $raw or $empty, always remember to provide the type by setting it to string or object:

/* ... */ 
response: { 
  200: { 
    type: 'string', 
    $raw: 'text/html' 
  } 
} 
/* ... */

Routes can be omitted from spec by the list by setting hide option to true inside their config.

HEAD routes automatically created by fastify when declaring GET routes can be omitted from spec by the list by setting hideHead option to true inside their config.

Routes can accept MIME types other than application/json by providing it in the bodyMime option inside their config.

Once the server is started, it will serve the OpenAPI specification on both /{prefix}/openapi.json and /{prefix}/openapi.yaml.

If the UI is enabled, it will be reachable at /${prefix}.

Example

import fastify from 'fastify' 
import fastifyOpenapiDocs from 'fastify-openapi-docs' 
 
const server = fastify() 
 
/* 
Since fastify-openapi-docs uses an onRoute hook, you have to either: 
 
* use `await register...` 
* wrap you routes definitions in a plugin 
 
See: https://www.fastify.io/docs/latest/Guides/Migration-Guide-V4/#synchronous-route-definitions 
*/ 
await server.register(fastifyOpenapiDocs, { 
  openapi: { 
    // All these fields are optional, but they should be provided to satisfy OpenAPI specification. 
    openapi: '3.0.3', 
    info: {

    servers: [

      { url: 'https://dev.example.com', description: 'Development Server' } 
    ], 
    tags: [{ name: 'service', description: 'Service' }], 
    components: {

        } 
      } 
    } 
  } 
}) 
 
server.addSchema({ 
  type: 'object', 
  $id: 'request', 
  description: 'The request payload', 
  properties: { 
    id: { 
      type: 'string', 
      description: 'The operation id', 
      pattern: '^.+$' 
    } 
  }, 
  required: ['id'], 
  additionalProperties: false

server.addSchema({

    } 
  }, 
  required: ['ok'], 
  additionalProperties: false 
}) 
 
server.route({ 
  method: 'POST', 
  url: '/path', 
  schema: { 
    body: { $ref: 'request#' }, 
    response: { 
      200: { $ref: 'response#' } 
    } 
  }, 
  config: { 
    openapi: { 
      description: 'Makes a request', 
      summary: 'Main route', 
      tags: ['service'], 
      security: [{ jwtBearer: [] }] 
    } 
  }, 
  handler(_, reply) { 
    reply.send({ ok: true }) 
  } 
}) 
 
server.listen({ port: 3000 })

Once started, the following routes will be available:

http://localhost:3000/docs/openapi.yaml
http://localhost:3000/docs/openapi.json
http://localhost:3000/docs (OpenAPI UI)

Note that $ref in the schemas will be resolved and replaced accordingly to OpenAPI spec.
