Springfennec

Swagger (OpenAPI 2.0) spec.json generator for the API client generation by swagger-codegen.

Features

mainly compared with Springfox.

• Predictable OperationId. build will fail if it isn't unique.
• No duplicate of model name
• Output spec.json as a file at build, server start isn't required.
• Spring annotation than Swagger annotation, focus on the actual behaviour.

You cannot do the following only with springfennec. Use swagger-ui.

• Hosting swagger-ui in App

Although Springfennec supports basic (as I think) Spring functionality, but it still cannot cover all of it. Please make a request by Pull request or Issue.

How to work

OperationId

If nickname in @ApiOperation annotation is defined, it will be OperationId. If not, function name will be used.

In order to generate a predictable OperationId, programmer have the responsibility to maintain its uniqueness. Therefore, suffix are not added by springfennec. If it isn't unique in the API group, the build will just fail.

Model name

Model name is Java FQCN, so it's always unique.

How to use

Get started

Please refer to springfennec-demo Project.

Use apt or kapt to work Springfennec at build. Add the following line to build.Gradle's dependencies. If you are working with Java only project, add Kotlin dependency also.

dependencies {
	...
	// Springfennec
	def springfennecVersion = 'x.x.x'
	compile('io.swagger:swagger-core:1.5.16')
	compile("com.juntaki:springfennec:${springfennecVersion}")
	kapt("com.juntaki:springfennec:${springfennecVersion}")
	...
}

Springfennec annotation

You can define multiple API groups in an App, by @ApiGroup/@ApiGroups annotations. (like Docket) OperationId must be unique for each API group.

For @SwaggerDefinition annotation, refer to Swagger-Core Annotations documentation

@ApiGroup(value="^/pet/.*",        // regex for path (not include basePath)
          name = "pet_api",        // output will be spec_${name}.json, e.g. spec_pet_api.json
          apiInfo = @SwaggerDefinition(...))

e.g. ApiGroups example

@ApiGroups(
        arrayOf(
                ApiGroup(arrayOf("^/demo/user.*"),
                        name = "user",
                        apiInfo = SwaggerDefinition(
                                info = Info(
                                        version = "1.0",
                                        title = "User API"
                                )
                        )
                ),
                ApiGroup(arrayOf("^/demo/admin.*"),
                        name = "admin",
                        apiInfo = SwaggerDefinition(
                                info = Info(
                                        version = "1.0",
                                        title = "Admin API"
                                )
                        )
                )
        )
)

Swagger annotation

The following swagger annotation is used for spec.json generation. Parameters determined by Spring may be ignored, even if the annotation defines it.

@ApiOperation
@ApiParam
