# express-jsdoc-swagger

With this library, you can document your express endpoints using swagger [OpenAPI 3 Specification](https://swagger.io/specification/) without writing YAML or JSON. You can write comments similar to `jsdoc` on each endpoint, and the dependecy is going to create the swagger UI.

## Prerequisites

This library assumes you are using:

1. [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org)
2. [Express.js](http://www.expressjs.com)

## Installation

```
npm i express-jsdoc-swagger
```

## Basic Usage

```javascript
// index.js file
const express = require('express');
const expressJSDocSwagger = require('express-jsdoc-swagger');

const options = {
  info: {
    version: '1.0.0',
    title: 'Albums store',
    license: {
      name: 'MIT',
    },
  },
  security: {
    BasicAuth: {
      type: 'http',
      scheme: 'basic',
    },
  },
  // Base directory which we use to locate your JSDOC files
  baseDir: __dirname,
  // Glob pattern to find your jsdoc files (multiple patterns can be added in an array)
  filesPattern: './**/*.js',
  // URL where SwaggerUI will be rendered
  swaggerUIPath: '/api-docs',
  // Expose OpenAPI UI
  exposeSwaggerUI: true,
  // Expose Open API JSON Docs documentation in `apiDocsPath` path.
  exposeApiDocs: false,
  // Open API JSON Docs endpoint.
  apiDocsPath: '/v3/api-docs',
  // Set non-required fields as nullable by default
  notRequiredAsNullable: false,
  // You can customize your UI options.
  // you can extend swagger-ui-express config. You can checkout an example of this
  // in the `example/configuration/swaggerOptions.js`
  swaggerUiOptions: {},
  // multiple option in case you want more that one instance
  multiple: true,
};

const app = express();
const PORT = 3000;

expressJSDocSwagger(app)(options);

/**
 * GET /api/v1
 * @summary This is the summary of the endpoint
 * @return {object} 200 - success response
 */
app.get('/api/v1', (req, res) => res.json({
  success: true,
}));

app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Example app listening at http://localhost:${PORT}`));
```

## Basic Examples

1. Basic configuration options.

```javascript
const options = {
  info: {
    version: '1.0.0',
    title: 'Albums store',
    license: {
      name: 'MIT',
    },
  },
  security: {
    BasicAuth: {
      type: 'http',
      scheme: 'basic',
    },
  },
  baseDir: __dirname,
  // Glob pattern to find your jsdoc files (multiple patterns can be added in an array)
  filesPattern: './**/*.js',
};
```

2. Components definition

```javascript
/**
 * A song type
 * @typedef {object} Song
 * @property {string} title.required - The title
 * @property {string} artist - The artist
 * @property {number} year - The year - double
 */
```

3. Endpoint which returns a `Songs` model array in the response.

```javascript
/**
 * GET /api/v1/albums
 * @summary This is the summary of the endpoint
 * @tags album
 * @return {array<Song>} 200 - success response - application/json
 */
app.get('/api/v1/albums', (req, res) => (
 res.json([{
 title: 'abum 1',
 }])
));
```

3. Endpoint PUT with body and path params which returns a `Songs` model array in the response.

```javascript
/**
 * PUT /api/v1/albums/{id}
 * @summary Update album
 * @tags album
 * @param {string} name.path - name param description
 * @param {Song} request.body.required - songs info
 * @return {array<Song>} 200 - success response - application/json
 */
app.put('/api/v1/albums/:id', (req, res) => (
 res.json([{
 title: 'abum 1',
 }])
));
```

4. Basic endpoint definition with tags, params and basic authentication

```javascript
/**
 * GET /api/v1/album
 * @summary This is the summary of the endpoint
 * @security BasicAuth
 * @tags album
 * @param {string} name.query.required - name param description
 * @return {object} 200 - success response - application/json
 * @return {object} 400 - Bad request response
 */
app.get('/api/v1/album', (req, res) => (
  res.json({
    title: 'abum 1',
  })
));
```

5. Basic endpoint definition with code example for response body

```javascript
/**
 * GET /api/v1/albums
 * @summary This is the summary of the endpoint
 * @tags album
 * @return {array<Song>} 200 - success response - application/json
 * @example response - 200 - success response example
 * [
 * {
 * "title": "Bury the light",
 * "artist": "Casey Edwards ft. Victor Borba",
 * "year": 2020
 * }
 * ]
 */
app.get('/api/v1/albums', (req, res) => (
 res.json([{
 title: 'track 1',
 }])
));
```

## Validator

We developed a new package works as a validator of your API endpoints and the documentation you create with this package. This package is [express-oas-validator](https://github.com/BRIKEV/express-oas-validator).

**Example**

Install using the node package registry:

```
npm install --save express-oas-validator
```

We have to wait until we have the full swagger schema to initiate the validator.

```js
// validator.js
const { init } = require('express-oas-validator');

instance.on('error', (error) => {
    reject(error);
  });
});

module.exports = validators;

```

You can check out this also in our [example folder](https://github.com/BRIKEV/express-jsdoc-swagger/tree/master/examples/validator).

```js
// index.js
const express = require('express');
const expressJSDocSwagger = require('express-jsdoc-swagger');
const validator = require('./validator');

const options = {
  info: {
    version: '1.0.0',
    title: 'Albums store',
    license: {
      name: 'MIT',
    },
  },
  filesPattern: './**.js',
  baseDir: __dirname,
};

const app = express();
const instance = expressJSDocSwagger(app)(options);

/**
   * POST /api/v1/songs
   * @param {Song} request.body.required - song info
   * @return {object} 200 - song response
   */
  app.post('/api/v1/songs', validateRequest(), (req, res) => res.send('You save a song!'));

/**
   * POST /api/v1/name
   * @param {string} request.body.required - name body description
   * @return {object} 200 - song response
   */
  app.post('/api/v1/name', (req, res, next) => {
    try {
      // Validate response
      validateResponse('Error string', req);
      return res.send('Hello World!');
    } catch (error) {
      return next(error);
    }
  });

/**
 * GET /api/v1/authors
 * @summary This is the summary or description of the endpoint
 * @param {string} name.query.required - name param description - enum:type1,type2
 * @param {array<string>} license.query - name param description
 * @return {object} 200 - success response - application/json
 */
 app.get('/api/v1/authors', validateRequest({ headers: false }), (req, res) => (
 res.json([{
 title: 'album 1',
 }])
 ));

// eslint-disable-next-line no-unused-vars
  app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
    res.status(err.status).json(err);
  });

return app;
};

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 4000;

serverApp()
  .then(app => 
    app.listen(PORT, () =>
      console.log(`Listening PORT: ${PORT}`)
    ))
  .catch((err) => {
    console.error(err);
    process.exit(1);
  });
```
