# openapi_first

openapi_first is a Ruby gem for request / response validation and contract-testing against an [OpenAPI](https://www.openapis.org/) 3.0 or 3.1 Openapi API description (OAD). It makes an APIFirst workflow easy and reliable.

## Usage

Configure
```ruby
OpenapiFirst.register('openapi/openapi.yaml')
```

Use an OAD to validate incoming requests:
```ruby
use OpenapiFirst::Middlewares::RequestValidation
```

Turn your request tests into [contract tests](#contract-testing) against an OAD:
```ruby
# spec_helper.rb
require 'openapi_first'
OpenapiFirst::Test.setup

require 'my_app'
RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include OpenapiFirst::Test::Methods[MyApp], type: :request
end
```

## Configuration

You should register OADs globally so you don't have to load the file multiple times or to refernce them by Symbol (like :v1 in this example).
```ruby
OpenapiFirst.configure do |config|
  config.register('openapi/openapi.yaml') # :default
  config.register('openapi/v1.openapi.yaml', as: :v1)
end
```

You can configure default options globally:

```ruby
OpenapiFirst.configure do |config|
  # Specify which plugin is used to render error responses returned by the request validation middleware (defaults to :default)
  config.request_validation_error_response = :jsonapi
end
```

or configure per instance:

```ruby
OpenapiFirst.load('openapi.yaml') do |config|
  config.request_validation_error_response = :jsonapi
end
```

## Rack Middlewares

### Request validation

The request validation middleware returns a 4xx if the request is invalid or not defined in the API description. It adds a request object to the current Rack environment at `env[OpenapiFirst::REQUEST]` with the request parameters parsed exactly as described in your API description plus access to meta information from your API description. See _[Manual use](#manual-use)_ for more details about that object.

```ruby
use OpenapiFirst::Middlewares::RequestValidation
```

#### Error responses

openapi_first produces a useful machine readable error response that can be customized.
The default response looks like this. See also [RFC 9457](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9457).

```json
http-status: 400
content-type: "application/problem+json"

{
  "title": "Bad Request Body",
  "status": 400,
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "value at `/data/name` is not a string",
      "pointer": "/data/name",
      "code": "string"
    },
    {
      "message": "number at `/data/numberOfLegs` is less than: 2",
      "pointer": "/data/numberOfLegs",
      "code": "minimum"
    },
    {
      "message": "object at `/data` is missing required properties: mandatory",
      "pointer": "/data",
      "code": "required"
    }
  ]
}
```

openapi_first offers a [JSON:API](https://jsonapi.org/) error response by passing `error_response: :jsonapi`:

```ruby
use OpenapiFirst::Middlewares::RequestValidation, 'openapi.yaml', error_response: :jsonapi
```

<details>
<summary>See details of JSON:API error response</summary>

```json
// http-status: 400
// content-type: "application/vnd.api+json"

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "status": "400",
      "source": {
        "pointer": "/data/name"
      },
      "title": "value at `/data/name` is not a string",
      "code": "string"
    },
    {
      "status": "400",
      "source": {
        "pointer": "/data/numberOfLegs"
      },
      "title": "number at `/data/numberOfLegs` is less than: 2",
      "code": "minimum"
    },
    {
      "status": "400",
      "source": {
        "pointer": "/data"
      },
      "title": "object at `/data` is missing required properties: mandatory",
      "code": "required"
    }
  ]
}
```

</details>

#### Custom error responses

You can build your own custom error response with `error_response: MyCustomClass` that implements `OpenapiFirst::ErrorResponse`.
You can define custom error responses globally by including / implementing `OpenapiFirst::ErrorResponse` and register it via `OpenapiFirst.register_error_response(my_name, MyCustomErrorResponse)` and set `error_response: my_name`.

#### Multipart file uploads

Uploaded files are not read during request validation. A `multipart/form-data` field that was sent as a file is passed through as Rack parsed it – the same shape that Sinatra and Hanami hand to your application:

```ruby
file = validated_request.parsed_body['file']
file[:filename] # => "cat.jpg"
file[:type]     # => "image/jpeg"
file[:tempfile] # => #<Tempfile …> Read or stream this in your application.
```

The tempfile is only usable while the request is being handled, because Rack removes it afterwards.

This means the _content_ of these fields is not validated, so `minLength`, `maxLength` or `pattern` on a field that was sent as a file are ignored. Fields that were not sent as a file are read and validated as usual, and a field with `contentType: application/json` in the `encoding` map is still parsed as JSON.

### Response validation

> [!WARNING]
> You should use [Contract Testing](#contract-testing) instead of this middleware.

This middleware raises an error by default if the response is not valid.

This can be useful in a test or staging environment, especially if you are adopting OpenAPI for an existing implementation.

```ruby
use OpenapiFirst::Middlewares::ResponseValidation if ENV['RACK_ENV'] == 'test'

# Pass `raise_error: false` to not raise an error:
use OpenapiFirst::Middlewares::ResponseValidation, raise_error: false
```

If you are adopting OpenAPI you can use these options together with [hooks](#hooks) to get notified about requests/responses that do match your API description.

## Contract Testing

You can see your OpenAPI API description as a contract that your clients can rely on as how your API behaves. There are two aspects of contract testing: Validation and Coverage. By validating requests and responses, you can avoid that your API implementation processes requests or returns responses that don't match your API description. To make sure your _whole_ API description is implemented, openapi_first can check that all of your API description is covered when you test your API with [rack-test](https://github.com/rack/rack-test).

Here is how to set it up:

1. Setup the test mode
    ```ruby
    # spec_helper.rb
    require 'openapi_first'
    OpenapiFirst::Test.setup
    ```
2. Observe your application.
    If you are using plain rack-test (sinatra, roda, hanami, etc.), this will add an `app` method that wraps your application with silent request / response validation:

```ruby
    RSpec.configure do |config|
      config.include OpenapiFirst::Test::Methods[MyApp], type: :request
    end
    ```

There are other ways to monitor your app, see `OpenapiFirst::Test.observe` (rails) or `OpenapiFirst::Test.app`.
3. Run your tests. The Coverage feature will tell you about missing or invalid requests/responses:
      ```
      ✓ GET /stations
        ✓ 200(application/json)
        ❌ 200(application/xml) – No responses tracked!
        ❌ 400(application/problem+json) – No responses tracked!
      ```

Now add tests for all those "❌" to make them "✓" and you're green!

> [!NOTE]
> Check out [faraday-openapi](https://codeberg.org/ahx/faraday-openapi) to have your API _client_ validate request/responses against an OAD, which is useful to validate HTTP mocks during testing.

### Configure test coverage

You can ignore errors for certain requests/responses. This will stop `OpenapiFirst::Test` from raising an exception if the block returns true.

```ruby
OpenapiFirst::Test.setup do |test|
  test.ignore_request_error do |validated_request|
    # Ignore unknown requests on certain paths
    validated_request.path.start_with?('/api/v1') && validated_request.unknown?
  end
  
  test.ignore_response_error do |validated_response, rack_request|
    # Ignore invalid response bodies on certain paths
    validated_request.path.start_with?('/api/legacy/stuff') && validated_request.error.type ==  :invalid_body      
  end
end
```

OpenapiFirst::Test raises an error when a response status is not defined except for 404 and 500. You can change this:

```ruby
OpenapiFirst::Test.setup do |test|
  test.ignored_unknown_status << 403
end
```

Or you can ignore all unknown response status:

```ruby
OpenapiFirst::Test.setup do |test|
  test.ignore_unknown_response_status = true
end
```

Exclude certain _responses_ from coverage with `skip_coverage`:

```ruby
OpenapiFirst::Test.setup do |test|
  test.skip_response_coverage do |response_definition|
    response_definition.status == '5XX'
  end
end
```

Skip coverage for a request and all responses alltogether of a route with `skip_coverage`:

```ruby
OpenapiFirst::Test.setup do |test|
  test.skip_coverage do |path, request_method|
    path == '/bookings/{bookingId}' && requests_method == 'DELETE'
  end
end
```

OpenapiFirst::Test raises an error when a request is not defined. You can deactivate this with:

```ruby
OpenapiFirst::Test.setup do |test|
  test.ignore_unknown_requests = true
end
```

### Test assertions

> [!WARNING]
> You probably don't need this. Just setup [Contract testing and API coverage](#contract-testing) and use your normal assertions.

openapi_first ships with a simple but powerful Test method `assert_api_conform` to run request and response validation in your tests without using the middlewares. This is designed to be used with rack-test.

Here is how to use it with RSpec, but MiniTest works just as good:

```ruby
# spec_helper.rb
OpenapiFirst::Test.setup do |test|
  test.register(File.join(__dir__, '../examples/openapi.yaml'), as: :example_app)
end
```

Inside your test :
```ruby
RSpec.describe 'Example App' do
  include Rack::Test::Methods
  include OpenapiFirst::Test::Methods[App]

it 'is API conform' do
    get '/'
    assert_api_conform(status: 200)
  end
end
```

## Manual use

Load the API description:

```ruby
require 'openapi_first'

definition = OpenapiFirst.load('openapi.yaml')
```

### Validate request

```ruby
validated_request = definition.validate_request(rack_request)

# Inspect the request and access parsed parameters
validated_request.valid?
validated_request.invalid?
validated_request.error # => Failure object or nil
validated_request.parsed_body # => The parsed request body (Hash)
validated_request.parsed_query # A Hash of query parameters that are defined in the API description, parsed exactly as described.
validated_request.parsed_path_parameters
validated_request.parsed_headers
validated_request.parsed_cookies
validated_request.parsed_params # Merged parsed path, query parameters and request body
# Access the Openapi 3 Operation Object Hash
validated_request.operation['x-foo']
validated_request.operation['operationId'] => "getStuff"
# or the whole request definition
validated_request.request_definition.path # => "/pets/{petId}"
validated_request.request_definition.operation_id # => "showPetById"

# Inspect the parameters that are defined for this request, in the order path, query, header, cookie.
# Parameters that openapi_first ignores (Content-Type, Accept, Authorization) are not included.
parameter = validated_request.request_definition.parameters.first
parameter.name # => "petId"
parameter.location # => "path" ("path", "query", "header" or "cookie")
parameter.schema # => { "type" => "integer" } (the JSON Schema, with $refs resolved)
parameter.required? # => true
parameter.deprecated? # => false
parameter.style # => "simple"
parameter.explode? # => false
parameter.media_type # => "application/json" if the parameter uses `content`, otherwise nil

# Or you can raise an exception if validation fails:
definition.validate_request(rack_request, raise_error: true) # Raises OpenapiFirst::RequestInvalidError or OpenapiFirst::NotFoundError if request is invalid
```

### Validate response

```ruby
validated_response = definition.validate_response(rack_request, rack_response)

# Inspect the response and access parsed parameters and
validated_response.valid?
validated_response.invalid?
validated_response.error # => Failure object or nil
validated_response.status # => 200
validated_response.parsed_body
validated_response.parsed_headers

# Or you can raise an exception if validation fails:
definition.validate_response(rack_request,rack_response, raise_error: true) # Raises OpenapiFirst::ResponseInvalidError or OpenapiFirst::ResponseNotFoundError
```

## Hooks

You can integrate your code at certain points during request/response validation via hooks.

Available hooks:

- `before_request_validation`
- `after_request_validation`
- `after_response_validation`
- `after_request_parameter_property_validation`
- `after_request_body_property_validation`
- `after_response_body_property_validation`

Setup per per instance:

```ruby
OpenapiFirst.load('openapi.yaml') do |config|
  config.after_request_validation do |validated_request|
    validated_request.valid? # => true / false
  end
  config.after_response_validation do |validated_response, request|
    if validated_response.invalid?
      warn "#{request.request_method} #{request.path}: #{validated_response.error.message}"
    end
  end
end
```

Setup globally:

```ruby
OpenapiFirst.configure do |config|
  config.after_request_parameter_property_validation do |data, property, property_schema|
    data[property] = Date.iso8601(data[property]) if property_schema['format'] == 'date'
  end
end
```

## Framework integration

Using rack middlewares is supported in probably all Ruby web frameworks.

The contract testing feature is designed to be used via rack-test, which should be compatible all Ruby web frameworks as well.

That aside, closer integration with specific frameworks like Hanami, Roda or others would be great. If you have ideas, pain points or PRs, please don't hesitate to [share](https://github.com/ahx/openapi_first/discussions).

### Sinatra

`OpenapiFirst::Sinatra` is a Sinatra extension to define routes by referencing operations in your OpenAPI description. The URL and HTTP method for each route are read from the OAD by `operationId`, so they are never repeated in your code – the API description stays the single source of truth for your routes.

```ruby
require 'sinatra/base'
require 'openapi_first/sinatra'

class PetsApi < Sinatra::Base
  register OpenapiFirst::Sinatra
  openapi 'openapi.yaml'

operation :index_pets do |params|
    json index_pets(params[:filter])
  end

operation :create_pet do
    json create_pet(parsed_body[:data])
  end
end
```

In a **classic** (top-level) app the extension registers itself, so requiring the file is enough:

```ruby
require 'sinatra'
require 'openapi_first/sinatra'

openapi 'openapi.yaml'

operation :create_pet do
  json create_pet(parsed_body)
end
```

Each `operation` route validates its request against the description before the block runs, so contract violations return `400`/`415` and the block is not reached. Validation reuses Sinatra's own routing (the operation's path and method are known when the route is defined), so openapi_first does not run its own router – there is no request-validation middleware.

Because routing is left to Sinatra, requests to paths without an `operation` block fall through to Sinatra's normal handling (a `404` by default), and you can add plain Sinatra routes (health checks, assets, …) alongside `operation` blocks. Likewise, an undocumented method on a documented path returns Sinatra's `404`.

Use a String for operationIds that are not valid Ruby symbols, e.g. `operation 'pets.list'`.

See [`sinatra.rb`](lib/openapi_first/sinatra.rb) for a more details.

## Alternatives

This gem was inspired by [committee](https://github.com/interagent/committee) (Ruby) and [Connexion](https://github.com/spec-first/connexion) (Python).
Here is a [feature comparison between openapi_first and committee](https://gist.github.com/ahx/1538c31f0652f459861713b5259e366a).

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How can I adapt request paths that don't match my schema?

Let's say you have `openapi.yaml` like this:

```yaml
servers:
  - url: https://yourhost/api
paths:
  # The actual endpoint URL is https://yourhost/api/resource
  /resource:
```

Here your OpenAPI schema defines endpoints starting with `/resource` but your actual application is mounted at `/api/resource`. You can bridge the gap by transforming the path via the `path:` configuration:

```ruby
oad = OpenapiFirst.load('openapi.yaml') do |config|
  config.path = ->(req) { request.path.delete_prefix('/api') }
end
use OpenapiFirst::Middlewares::RequestValidation, oad
```

## Development

Run `git submodule update --init` to initialize the git submodules.

Run `bin/setup` to install dependencies.

See `bundle exec rake` to run the linter and the tests.

Run `bundle exec rspec` to run the tests only.
