This is the Swagger javascript client for use with swagger enabled APIs. It's written in javascript and tested with mocha, and is the fastest way to enable a javascript client to communicate with a swagger-enabled server.
Check out Swagger-Spec for additional information about the Swagger project, including additional libraries with support for other languages and more.
Install swagger-client:
npm install swagger-client
or:
bower install swagger-js
Then let swagger do the work!
var Swagger = require('swagger-client');
var client = new Swagger({
url: 'http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json',
success: function() {
client.pet.getPetById({petId:7},{responseContentType: 'application/json'},function(pet){
console.log('pet', pet);
});
}
});NOTE: we're explicitly setting the responseContentType, because we don't want you getting stuck when there is more than one content type available.
That's it! You'll get a JSON response with the default callback handler:
{
"id": 1,
"category": {
"id": 2,
"name": "Cats"
},
"name": "Cat 1",
"photoUrls": [
"url1",
"url2"
],
"tags": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "tag1"
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "tag2"
}
],
"status": "available"
}You need to pass success and error functions to do anything reasonable with the responses:
var Swagger = require('swagger-client');
var client = new Swagger({
url: 'http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json',
success: function() {
client.pet.getPetById({petId:7}, function(success){
console.log('succeeded and returned this object: ' + success.obj);
},
function(error) {
console.log('failed with the following: ' + error.statusText);
});
}
});You can use promises, too, by passing the usePromise: true option:
var Swagger = require('swagger-client');
new Swagger({
url: 'http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json',
usePromise: true
})
.then(function(client) {
client.pet.getPetById({petId:7})
.then(function(pet) {
console.log(pet.obj);
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.log('Oops! failed with message: ' + error.statusText);
});
});Need to pass an API key? Ok, lets do it for this sample swagger.yml:
# ...
securityDefinitions:
api_scheme_name: # swagger scheme name
type: apiKey # swagger type (one of "basic", "apiKey" or "oauth2")
name: queryParamName # The name of the header or query parameter to be used
in: query # location of the API key
api_scheme_name_2:
type: apiKey
name: X-KEY-PARAM
in: header
# ...Configure auth for that definition in your client instance as a query string:
client.clientAuthorizations.add("api_scheme_name",
new Swagger.ApiKeyAuthorization(
"queryParamName",
"<YOUR-SECRET-KEY>",
"query"
)
);...or with a header:
client.clientAuthorizations.add("api_scheme_name_2",
new Swagger.ApiKeyAuthorization(
"X-KEY-PARAM",
"<YOUR-SECRET-KEY>",
"header"
)
);...or with the swagger-client constructor:
var client = new Swagger({
url: 'http://example.com/spec.json',
success: function() {},
authorizations : {
easyapi_basic: new Swagger.PasswordAuthorization('<username>', '<password>'),
someHeaderAuth: new Swagger.ApiKeyAuthorization('<nameOfHeader>', '<value>', 'header'),
someQueryAuth: new Swagger.ApiKeyAuthorization('<nameOfQueryKey>', '<value>', 'query'),
someCookieAuth: new Swagger.CookieAuthorization('<cookie>'),
}
});Note the authorization nickname, such as easyapi_basic in the above example, must match the security requirement in the specification (see the OAI Specification for details).
You can also pass authorzations on a per-request basis, in the event that you're reusing a swagger-client object across multiple connections:
client.pet.addPet({pet: {
name: 'doggie'
}}, {
clientAuthorizations: {
api_key: new Swagger.ApiKeyAuthorization('foo', 'bar', 'header')
}
})
.then(function(pet) {
console.log(pet.obj);
});
Download browser/swagger-client.min.js and place it into your webapp:
<script src='browser/swagger-client.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// initialize swagger client, point to a resource listing
window.client = new SwaggerClient({
url: "http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json",
success: function() {
// upon connect, fetch a pet and set contents to element "mydata"
client.pet.getPetById({petId:1},{responseContentType: 'application/json'}, function(data) {
document.getElementById("mydata").innerHTML = JSON.stringify(data.obj);
});
}
});
</script>
<body>
<div id="mydata"></div>
</body>var pet = {
id: 100,
name: "dog"};
// note: the parameter for `addPet` is named `body` in the example below
client.pet.addPet({body: pet});var pet = "<Pet><id>2</id><name>monster</name></Pet>";
client.pet.addPet({body: pet}, {requestContentType:"application/xml"});client.pet.getPetById({petId:1}, {responseContentType:"application/xml"});You can easily write your own request signing code for Swagger. For example:
var CustomRequestSigner = function(name) {
this.name = name;
};
CustomRequestSigner.prototype.apply = function(obj, authorizations) {
var hashFunction = this._btoa;
var hash = hashFunction(obj.url);
obj.headers["signature"] = hash;
return true;
};In the above simple example, we're creating a new request signer that simply
Base64 encodes the URL. Of course you'd do something more sophisticated, but
after encoding it, a header called signature is set before sending the request.
You can add it to the swagger-client like such:
client.clientAuthorizations.add('my-auth', new CustomRequestSigner());Headers are a type of parameter, and can be passed with the other parameters. For example, if you supported translated pet details via the Accept-Language header:
"parameters": [
{
"name": "petId",
"description": "ID of pet that needs to be fetched",
"required": true,
"type": "integer",
"format": "int64",
"paramType": "path",
"minimum": "1.0",
"defaultValue": 3,
"maximum": "100000.0"
},
"LanguageHeader": {
"name": "Accept-Language",
"in": "header",
"description": "Specify the user's language",
"required": false,
"type": "string"
}
...Then you would pass the header value via the parameters (header parameters are case-insenstive):
client.pet.getPetById({
petId: 7,
'accept-language': 'fr'
}, function(pet){
console.log('pet', pet);
});Don't like superagent? Despise JQuery? Well, you're in luck. You can plug your own HTTP library easily:
var myHttpClient = {
// implment an execute function
execute: function(obj) {
var httpMethod = obj.method;
var requestHeaders = obj.headers;
var body = obj.body;
var url = obj.url;
// do your thing, and call `obj.on.response`
if(itWorked) {
obj.on.response('horray');
}
else {
obj.on.error('boo');
}
}
};
var client = new SwaggerClient({
spec: petstoreRaw,
client: myHttpClient,
success: function () {
client.pet.getPetById({petId: 3}, function(data){
expect(data).toBe('ok');
done();
});
}
});You can also pass in your own version superagent (if, for example, you have other superagent plugins etc that you want to use)
var agent = require('some-other-special-superagent');
var client = new SwaggerClient({
spec: petstoreRaw,
requestAgent: agent,
success: function () {
client.pet.getPetById({petId: 3}, function(data){
expect(data).toBe('ok');
done();
});
}
});In case if you need to sign all requests to petstore with custom certificate
var connectionAgent = {
rejectUnauthorized: false,
key: "/certs/example.key",
cert: "/certs/example.pem",
ca: ["/certs/example.ca.pem"]
}
var client = new SwaggerClient({
url: "http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json",
connectionAgent: connectionAgent,
success: function() {
// upon connect, fetch a pet and set contents to element "mydata"
client.pet.getPetById({petId:1},{responseContentType: 'application/json'}, function(data) {
document.getElementById("mydata").innerHTML = JSON.stringify(data.obj);
});
}
});The swagger javascript client reads the swagger api definition directly from the server. As it does, it constructs a client based on the api definition, which means it is completely dynamic. It even reads the api text descriptions (which are intended for humans!) and provides help if you need it:
s.apis.pet.getPetById.help()
'* petId (required) - ID of pet that needs to be fetched'The HTTP requests themselves are handled by the excellent superagent library, which has a ton of features itself. But it runs on both node and the browser.
