The grape-swagger gem provides an autogenerated documentation for your Grape API. The generated documentation is Swagger-compliant, meaning it can easily be discovered in Swagger UI. You should be able to point the petstore demo to your API.
This screenshot is based on the Hussars sample app.
## Related Projects ## CompatibilityThe following versions of grape, grape-entity and grape-swagger can currently be used together.
grape-swagger | swagger spec | grape | grape-entity | representable |
---|---|---|---|---|
0.10.5 | 1.2 | >= 0.10.0 ... <= 0.14.0 | < 0.5.0 | n/a |
0.11.0 | 1.2 | >= 0.16.2 | < 0.5.0 | n/a |
0.20.1 | 2.0 | >= 0.12.0 ... <= 0.14.0 | <= 0.5.1 | n/a |
0.20.3 | 2.0 | >= 0.12.0 ... ~> 0.16.2 | ~> 0.5.1 | n/a |
0.21.0 | 2.0 | >= 0.12.0 ... <= 0.16.2 | <= 0.5.1 | >= 2.4.1 |
0.23.0 | 2.0 | >= 0.12.0 ... <= 0.17.0 | <= 0.5.1 | >= 2.4.1 |
Grape-swagger generates documentation per Swagger / OpenAPI Spec 2.0.
## InstallationAdd to your Gemfile:
gem 'grape-swagger'
Please see UPGRADING when upgrading from a previous version.
## UsageMount all your different APIs (with Grape::API
superclass) on a root node. In the root class definition, include add_swagger_documentation
, this sets up the system and registers the documentation on '/swagger_doc'. See example/config.ru for a simple demo.
require 'grape-swagger'
module API
class Root < Grape::API
format :json
mount API::Cats
mount API::Dogs
mount API::Pirates
add_swagger_documentation
end
end
To explore your API, either download Swagger UI and set it up yourself or go to the online swagger demo and enter your localhost url documentation root in the url field (probably something in the line of http://localhost:3000/swagger_doc).
## Model ParsersSince 0.21.0, Grape::Entity
is not a part of grape-swagger, you need to add grape-swagger-entity
manually to your Gemfile.
Also added support for representable via grape-swagger-representable
.
# For Grape::Entity ( https://github.com/ruby-grape/grape-entity )
gem 'grape-swagger-entity'
# For representable ( https://github.com/apotonick/representable )
gem 'grape-swagger-representable'
If you are not using Rails, make sure to load the parser inside your application initialization logic, e.g., via require 'grape-swagger/entity'
or require 'grape-swagger/representable
.
You can create your own model parser, for example for roar.
module GrapeSwagger
module Roar
class Parser
attr_reader :model
attr_reader :endpoint
def initialize(model, endpoint)
@model = model
@endpoint = endpoint
end
def call
# Parse your model and return hash with model schema for swagger
end
end
end
end
Then you should register your custom parser.
GrapeSwagger.model_parsers.register(GrapeSwagger::Roar::Parser, Roar::Decorator)
To control model parsers sequence, you can insert your parser before or after another parser.
GrapeSwagger.model_parsers.insert_before(GrapeSwagger::Representable::Parser, GrapeSwagger::Roar::Parser, Roar::Decorator)
GrapeSwagger.model_parsers.insert_after(GrapeSwagger::Roar::Parser, GrapeSwagger::Representable::Parser, Representable::Decorator)
As we know, Roar::Decorator
uses Representable::Decorator
as a superclass, this allows to avoid a problem when Roar objects are processed by GrapeSwagger::Representable::Parser
instead of GrapeSwagger::Roar::Parser
.
If you use the online demo, make sure your API supports foreign requests by enabling CORS in Grape, otherwise you'll see the API description, but requests on the API won't return. Use rack-cors to enable CORS.
require 'rack/cors'
use Rack::Cors do
allow do
origins '*'
resource '*', headers: :any, methods: [ :get, :post, :put, :delete, :options ]
end
end
```
Alternatively you can set CORS headers in a Grape `before` block.
```ruby
before do
header['Access-Control-Allow-Origin'] = '*'
header['Access-Control-Request-Method'] = '*'
end
```

<a name="headers" />
#### Swagger Header Parameters <a name="headers" />
Swagger also supports the documentation of parameters passed in the header. Since grape's ```params[]``` doesn't return header parameters we can specify header parameters seperately in a block after the description.
```ruby
desc "Return super-secret information", {
headers: {
"XAuthToken" => {
description: "Valdates your identity",
required: true
},
"XOptionalHeader" => {
description: "Not really needed",
required: false
}
}
}
```
<a name="hiding" />
#### Hiding an Endpoint
You can hide an endpoint by adding ```hidden: true``` in the description of the endpoint:
```ruby
desc 'Hide this endpoint', hidden: true
```
Endpoints can be conditionally hidden by providing a callable object such as a lambda which evaluates to the desired
state:
```ruby
desc 'Conditionally hide this endpoint', hidden: lambda { ENV['EXPERIMENTAL'] != 'true' }
```
<a name="overriding-auto-generated-nicknames" />
#### Overriding Auto-Generated Nicknames
You can specify a swagger nickname to use instead of the auto generated name by adding `:nickname 'string'``` in the description of the endpoint.
```ruby
desc 'Get a full list of pets', nickname: 'getAllPets'
```
<a name="details" />
#### Specify endpoint details
To specify further details for an endpoint, use the `detail` option within a block passed to `desc`:
```ruby
desc 'Get all kittens!' do
detail 'this will expose all the kittens'
end
get '/kittens' do
```
<a name="summary" />
#### Overriding the route summary
To override the summary, add `summary: '[string]'` after the description.
```ruby
namespace 'order' do
desc 'This will be your summary',
summary: 'Now this is your summary!'
get :order_id do
...
end
end
```
<a name="array" />
#### Defining an endpoint as an array
You can define an endpoint as an array by adding `is_array` in the description:
```ruby
desc 'Get a full list of pets', is_array: true
```
<a name="options" />
#### Using an options hash
The Grape DSL supports either an options hash or a restricted block to pass settings. Passing the `nickname`, `hidden` and `is_array` options together with response codes is only possible when passing an options hash.
Since the syntax differs you'll need to adjust it accordingly:
```ruby
desc 'Get all kittens!', {
hidden: true,
is_array: true,
nickname: 'getKittens',
success: Entities::Kitten, # or success
failures: [[401, 'KittenBitesError', Entities::BadKitten]] # or failure
# also explicit as hash: [{ code: 401, mssage: 'KittenBitesError', model: Entities::BadKitten }]
produces: [ "array", "of", "mime_types" ],
consumes: [ "array", "of", "mime_types" ]
}
get '/kittens' do
```
<a name="overriding-param-type" />
#### Overriding param type
You can override paramType in POST|PUT methods to query, using the documentation hash.
```ruby
params do
requires :action, type: Symbol, values: [:PAUSE, :RESUME, :STOP], documentation: { param_type: 'query' }
end
post :act do
...
end
```
<a name="overriding-param-types" />
#### Overriding param types
You can override type, using the documentation hash.
```ruby
params do
requires :input, type: String, documentation: { type: 'integer' }
end
post :act do
...
end
```
```json
{
"in": "formData",
"name": "input",
"type": "integer",
"format": "int32",
"required": true
}
```
<a name="multiple-types" />
#### Multi types
By default when you set multi types, the first type is selected as swagger type
```ruby
params do
requires :action, types: [String, Integer]
end
post :act do
...
end
```
```json
{
"in": "formData",
"name": "action",
"type": "string",
"required": true
}
```
<a name="array-type" />
#### Array type
Array types are also supported.
```ruby
params do
requires :action_ids, type: Array[Integer]
end
post :act do
...
end
```
```json
{
"in": "formData",
"name": "action_ids",
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "integer"
},
"required": true
}
```
<a name="collection-format" />
#### Collection format of arrays
You can set the collection format of an array, using the documentation hash.
Collection format determines the format of the array if type array is used. Possible values are:
* csv - comma separated values foo,bar.
* ssv - space separated values foo bar.
* tsv - tab separated values foo\tbar.
* pipes - pipe separated values foo|bar.
* multi - corresponds to multiple parameter instances instead of multiple values for a single instance foo=bar&foo=baz. This is valid only for parameters in "query" or "formData".
```ruby
params do
requires :statuses, type: Array[String], documentation: { collectionFormat: 'multi' }
end
post :act do
...
end
```
```json
{
"in": "formData",
"name": "statuses",
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string"
},
"collectionFormat": "multi",
"required": true
}
```
<a name="hiding-parameters" />
#### Hiding parameters
Exclude single optional parameter from the documentation
```ruby
params do
optional :one, documentation: { hidden: true }
optional :two, documentation: { hidden: -> { true } }
end
post :act do
...
end
```
<a name="default-value" />
#### Setting a Swagger default value
Grape allows for an additional documentation hash to be passed to a parameter.
```ruby
params do
requires :id, type: Integer, desc: 'Coffee ID'
requires :temperature, type: Integer, desc: 'Temperature of the coffee in celcius', documentation: { default: 72 }
end
```
The example parameter will populate the Swagger UI with the example value, and can be used for optional or required parameters.
Grape uses the option `default` to set a default value for optional parameters. This is different in that Grape will set your parameter to the provided default if the parameter is omitted, whereas the example value above will only set the value in the UI itself. This will set the Swagger `defaultValue` to the provided value. Note that the example value will override the Grape default value.
```ruby
params do
requires :id, type: Integer, desc: 'Coffee ID'
optional :temperature, type: Integer, desc: 'Temperature of the coffee in celcius', default: 72
end
```
#### Expose nested namespace as standalone route
Use the `nested: false` property in the `swagger` option to make nested namespaces appear as standalone resources.
This option can help to structure and keep the swagger schema simple.
```ruby
namespace 'store/order', desc: 'Order operations within a store', swagger: { nested: false } do
get :order_id do
...
end
end
```
All routes that belong to this namespace (here: the `GET /order_id`) will then be assigned to the `store_order` route instead of the `store` resource route.
It is also possible to expose a namespace within another already exposed namespace:
```ruby
namespace 'store/order', desc: 'Order operations within a store', swagger: { nested: false } do
get :order_id do
...
end
namespace 'actions', desc: 'Order actions' do, nested: false
get 'evaluate' do
...
end
end
end
```
Here, the `GET /order_id` appears as operation of the `store_order` resource and the `GET /evaluate` as operation of the `store_orders_actions` route.
##### With a custom name
Auto generated names for the standalone version of complex nested resource do not have a nice look.
You can set a custom name with the `name` property inside the `swagger` option, but only if the namespace gets exposed as standalone route.
The name should not contain whitespaces or any other special characters due to further issues within swagger-ui.
```ruby
namespace 'store/order', desc: 'Order operations within a store', swagger: { nested: false, name: 'Store-orders' } do
get :order_id do
...
end
end
```
<a name="response" />
#### Response documentation
You can also document the HTTP status codes with a description and a specified model, as ref in the schema to the definitions, that your API returns with one of the following syntax.
In the following cases, the schema ref would be taken from route.
```ruby
desc 'thing', failures: [ { code: 400, message: "Invalid parameter entry" } ]
get '/thing' do
...
end
```
```ruby
desc 'thing' do
params Entities::Something.documentation
failures [ { code: 400, message: "Invalid parameter entry" } ]
end
get '/thing' do
...
end
```
```ruby
get '/thing', failures: [
{ code: 200, message: 'Ok' },
{ code: 400, message: "Invalid parameter entry" }
] do
...
end
```
By adding a `model` key, e.g. this would be taken.
```ruby
get '/thing', failures: [
{ code: 200, message: 'Ok' },
{ code: 422, message: "Invalid parameter entry", model: Entities::ApiError }
] do
...
end
```
If no status code is defined [defaults](/lib/grape-swagger/endpoint.rb#L121) would be taken.
The result is then something like following:
```json
"responses": {
"200": {
"description": "get Horses",
"schema": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/Thing"
}
},
"401": {
"description": "HorsesOutError",
"schema": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/ApiError"
}
}
},
```
<a name="extensions" />
#### Extensions
Swagger spec2.0 supports extensions on different levels, for the moment,
the documentation on `verb`, `path` and `definition` level would be supported.
The documented key would be generated from the `x` + `-` + key of the submitted hash,
for possibilities refer to the [extensions spec](spec/lib/extensions_spec.rb).
To get an overview *how* the extensions would be defined on grape level, see the following examples:
- `verb` extension, add a `x` key to the `desc` hash:
```ruby
desc 'This returns something with extension on verb level',
x: { some: 'stuff' }
```
this would generate:
```json
"/path":{
"get":{
"…":"…",
"x-some":"stuff"
}
}
```
- `path` extension, by setting via route settings:
```ruby
route_setting :x_path, { some: 'stuff' }
```
this would generate:
```json
"/path":{
"x-some":"stuff",
"get":{
"…":"…",
}
}
```
- `definition` extension, again by setting via route settings,
here the status code must be provided, for which definition the extensions should be:
```ruby
route_setting :x_def, { for: 422, other: 'stuff' }
```
this would generate:
```json
"/definitions":{
"ApiError":{
"x-other":"stuff",
"…":"…",
}
}
```
or, for more definitions:
```ruby
route_setting :x_def, [{ for: 422, other: 'stuff' }, { for: 200, some: 'stuff' }]
```
<a name="grape-entity" />
## Using Grape Entities
Add the [grape-entity](https://github.com/ruby-grape/grape-entity) and [grape-swagger-entity](https://github.com/ruby-grape/grape-swagger-entity) gem to your Gemfile.
The following example exposes statuses. And exposes statuses documentation adding :type and :desc.
The documented class/definition name could be set via `#entity_name`.
```ruby
module API
module Entities
class Status < Grape::Entity
expose :text, documentation: { type: 'string', desc: 'Status update text.' }
expose :links, using: Link, documentation: { type: 'link', is_array: true }
expose :numbers, documentation: { type: 'integer', desc: 'favourite number', values: [1,2,3,4] }
end
class Link < Grape::Entity
expose :href, documentation: { type: 'url' }
expose :rel, documentation: { type: 'string'}
def self.entity_name
'LinkedStatus'
end
end
end
class Statuses < Grape::API
version 'v1'
desc 'Statuses index',
entity: API::Entities::Status
get '/statuses' do
statuses = Status.all
type = current_user.admin? ? :full : :default
present statuses, with: API::Entities::Status, type: type
end
desc 'Creates a new status',
entity: API::Entities::Status,
params: API::Entities::Status.documentation
post '/statuses' do
...
end
end
end
```
### Relationships
You may safely omit `type` from relationships, as it can be inferred. However, if you need to specify or override it, use the full name of the class leaving out any modules named `Entities` or `Entity`.
#### 1xN
```ruby
module API
module Entities
class Client < Grape::Entity
expose :name, documentation: { type: 'string', desc: 'Name' }
expose :addresses, using: Entities::Address,
documentation: { type: 'API::Address', desc: 'Addresses.', param_type: 'body', is_array: true }
end
class Address < Grape::Entity
expose :street, documentation: { type: 'string', desc: 'Street.' }
end
end
class Clients < Grape::API
version 'v1'
desc 'Clients index', params: Entities::Client.documentation
get '/clients' do
...
end
end
add_swagger_documentation models: [Entities::Client, Entities::Address]
end
```
#### 1x1
Note: `is_array` is `false` by default.
```ruby
module API
module Entities
class Client < Grape::Entity
expose :name, documentation: { type: 'string', desc: 'Name' }
expose :address, using: Entities::Address,
documentation: { type: 'API::Address', desc: 'Addresses.', param_type: 'body', is_array: false }
end
class Address < Grape::Entity
expose :street, documentation: { type: 'string', desc: 'Street' }
end
end
class Clients < Grape::API
version 'v1'
desc 'Clients index', params: Entities::Client.documentation
get '/clients' do
...
end
end
add_swagger_documentation models: [Entities::Client, Entities::Address]
end
```
<a name="oauth" />
## Securing the Swagger UI
The Swagger UI on Grape could be secured from unauthorized access using any middleware, which provides certain methods:
- some guard method, which could receive as argument a string or an array of authorization scopes;
- a *before* method to be run in the Grape controller for authorization purpose;
- a set of methods which will process the access token received in the HTTP request headers (usually in the
'HTTP_AUTHORIZATION' header) and try to return the owner of the token.
Below are some examples of securing the Swagger UI on Grape installed along with Ruby on Rails:
- The WineBouncer and Doorkeeper gems are used in the examples;
- 'rails' and 'wine_bouncer' gems should be required prior to 'grape-swagger' in boot.rb;
- This works with a fresh PR to WineBouncer which is yet unmerged - [WineBouncer PR](https://github.com/antek-drzewiecki/wine_bouncer/pull/64).
This is how to configure the grape_swagger documentation:
```ruby
add_swagger_documentation base_path: '/',
title: 'My API',
doc_version: '0.0.1',
hide_documentation_path: true,
hide_format: true,
endpoint_auth_wrapper: WineBouncer::OAuth2, # This is the middleware for securing the Swagger UI
swagger_endpoint_guard: 'oauth2 false', # this is the guard method and scope
token_owner: 'resource_owner' # This is the method returning the owner of the token
```
The guard method should inject the Security Requirement Object into the endpoint's route settings (see Grape::DSL::Settings.route_setting method).
The 'oauth2 false' added to swagger_documentation is making the main Swagger endpoint protected with OAuth, i.e. the
access_token is being retreiving from the HTTP request, but the 'false' scope is for skipping authorization and
showing the UI for everyone. If the scope would be set to something else, like 'oauth2 admin', for example, than the UI
wouldn't be displayed at all to unauthorized users.
Further on, the guard could be used, where necessary, for endpoint access protection. Put it prior to the endpoint's method:
```ruby
resource :users do
oauth2 'read, write'
get do
render_users
end
oauth2 'admin'
post do
User.create!...
end
end
```
And, finally, if you want to not only restrict the access, but to completely hide the endpoint from unauthorized
users, you could pass a lambda to the :hidden key of a endpoint's description:
```ruby
not_admins = lambda { |token_owner = nil| token_owner.nil? || !token_owner.admin? }
resource :users do
desc 'Create user', hidden: not_admins
oauth2 'admin'
post do
User.create!...
end
end
```
The lambda is checking whether the user is authenticated (if not, the token_owner is nil by default), and has the admin
role - only admins can see this endpoint.

## Markdown in Detail
The grape-swagger gem allows you to add an explanation in markdown in the detail field. Which would result in proper formatted markdown in Swagger UI.
Grape-swagger uses adapters for several markdown formatters. It includes adapters for [kramdown](http://kramdown.rubyforge.org) (kramdown [syntax](http://kramdown.rubyforge.org/syntax.html)) and [redcarpet](https://github.com/vmg/redcarpet).
The adapters are packed in the GrapeSwagger::Markdown modules. We do not include the markdown gems in our gemfile, so be sure to include or install the depended gems.
To use it, add a new instance of the adapter to the markdown options of `add_swagger_documentation`, such as:
```ruby
add_swagger_documentation \
markdown: GrapeSwagger::Markdown::KramdownAdapter.new(options)
```
and write your route details in GFM, examples could be find in [details spec](blob/master/spec/swagger_v2/api_swagger_v2_detail_spec.rb)
#### Kramdown
If you want to use kramdown as markdown formatter, you need to add kramdown to your gemfile.
```ruby
gem 'kramdown'
```
Configure your api documentation route with:
```ruby
add_swagger_documentation \
markdown: GrapeSwagger::Markdown::KramdownAdapter.new(options)
```
#### Redcarpet
As alternative you can use [redcarpet](https://github.com/vmg/redcarpet) as formatter, you need to include redcarpet in your gemspec. If you also want to use [rouge](https://github.com/jneen/rouge) as syntax highlighter you also need to include it.
```ruby
gem 'redcarpet'
gem 'rouge'
```
Configure your api documentation route with:
```ruby
add_swagger_documentation(
markdown: GrapeSwagger::Markdown::RedcarpetAdapter.new(render_options: { highlighter: :rouge })
)
```
Alternatively you can disable rouge by adding `:none` as highlighter option. You can add redcarpet extensions and render options trough the `extenstions:` and `render_options:` parameters.
#### Custom markdown formatter
You can also add your custom adapter for your favourite markdown formatter, as long it responds to the method `markdown(text)` and it formats the given text.
```ruby
module API
class FancyAdapter
attr_reader :adapter
def initialize(options)
require 'superbmarkdownformatter'
@adapter = SuperbMarkdownFormatter.new options
end
def markdown(text)
@adapter.render_supreme(text)
end
end
add_swagger_documentation markdown: FancyAdapter.new(no_links: true)
end
```

#### Example Code
```ruby
class NamespaceApi < Grape::API
namespace :hudson do
desc 'Document root'
get '/' do
end
end
namespace :hudson do
desc 'This gets something.',
notes: '_test_'
get '/simple' do
{ bla: 'something' }
end
end
namespace :colorado do
desc 'This gets something for URL using - separator.',
notes: '_test_'
get '/simple-test' do
{ bla: 'something' }
end
end
end
…
```

## Rake Tasks
Add these lines to your Rakefile, and initialize the Task class with your Api class – be sure your Api class is available.
```ruby
require 'grape-swagger/rake/oapi_tasks'
GrapeSwagger::Rake::OapiTasks.new(::Api::Base)
```
#### OpenApi/Swagger Documentation
```
rake oapi:fetch
params:
- store={ true | file_name } – save as JSON (optional)
- resource=resource_name – get only for this one (optional)
```
#### OpenApi/Swagger Validation
**requires**: `npm` and `swagger-cli` to be installed
```
rake oapi:validate
params:
- resource=resource_name – get only for this one (optional)
```
