DESCRIPTION

   This plugin provides tools to create and access a Swagger
   <http://swagger.io/> specification file for a Dancer REST web service.

   Overview of Dancer::Plugin::Swagger's features:

   Can create a /swagger.json REST specification file.

   Can auto-discover routes and add them to the swagger file.

   Can provide a Swagger UI version of the swagger documentation.

CONFIGURATION

       plugins:
           Swagger:
              main_api_module: MyApp
              show_ui: 1
              ui_url: /doc
              ui_dir: /path/to/files
              auto_discover_skip:
               - /swagger.json
               - qr#^/doc/#

main_api_module

   If not provided explicitly, the Swagger document's title and version
   will be set to the abstract and version of this module.

   Defaults to the first module to import Dancer::Plugin::Swagger.

show_ui

   If true, a route will be created for the Swagger UI (see
   http://swagger.io/swagger-ui/).

   Defaults to true.

ui_url

   Path of the swagger ui route. Will also be the prefix for all the
   CSS/JS dependencies of the page.

   Defaults to /doc.

ui_dir

   Filesystem path to the directory holding the assets for the Swagger UI
   page.

   Defaults to a copy of the Swagger UI code bundled with the
   Dancer::Plugin::Swagger distribution.

auto_discover_skip

   List of urls that should not be added to the Swagger document by
   swagger_auto_discover. If an url begins with qr, it will be compiled as
   a regular expression.

   Defauls to /swagger.json and, if show_ui is true, all the urls under
   ui_url.

validate_response

   If set to true, calls to swagger_response will verify if a schema is
   defined for the response, and if so validate against it.
   JSON::Schema::AsType is used for the validation (and this required if
   this option is used).

   Defaults to false.

strict_validation

   If set to true, dies if a call to swagger_response doesn't find a
   schema for its response.

   Defaults to false.

PLUGIN KEYWORDS

swagger_path $description, \%args, $route

       swagger_path {
           description => 'Returns info about a judge',
       },
       get '/judge/:judge_name' => sub {
           ...;
       };

   Registers a route as a swagger path item in the swagger document.

   %args is optional.

   The $description is optional as well, and can also be defined as part
   of the %args.

       # equivalent to the main example
       swagger_path 'Returns info about a judge',
       get '/judge/:judge_name' => sub {
           ...;
       };

   If the $description spans many lines, it will be left-trimmed.

       swagger_path q{
           Returns info about a judge.

           Some more documentation can go here.

               And this will be seen as a performatted block
               by swagger.
       },
       get '/judge/:judge_name' => sub {
           ...;
       };

 Supported arguments

   method

     The HTTP method (GET, POST, etc) for the path item.

     Defaults to the route's method.

   path

     The url for the path item.

     Defaults to the route's path.

   description

     The path item's description.

   tags

     Optional arrayref of tags assigned to the path.

   parameters

     List of parameters for the path item. Must be an arrayref or a
     hashref.

     Route parameters are automatically populated. E.g.,

         swagger_path
         get '/judge/:judge_name' => { ... };

     is equivalent to

         swagger_path {
             parameters => [
                 { name => 'judge_name', in => 'path', required => 1, type => 'string' },
             ]
         },
         get '/judge/:judge_name' => { ... };

     If the parameters are passed as a hashref, the keys are the names of
     the parameters, and they will appear in the swagger document
     following their alphabetical order.

     If the parameters are passed as an arrayref, they will appear in the
     document in the order in which they are passed. Additionally, each
     parameter can be given as a hashref, or can be a name => arguments
     pair.

     In both format, for the key/value pairs, a string value is considered
     to be the description of the parameter.

     Finally, if not specified explicitly, the in argument of a parameter
     defaults to query, and its type to string.

         parameters => [
             { name => 'bar', in => 'path', required => 1, type => 'string' },
             { name => 'foo', in => 'query', type => 'string', description => 'yadah' },
         ],

         # equivalent arrayref with mixed pairs/non-pairs

         parameters => [
             { name => 'bar', in => 'path', required => 1, type => 'string' },
             foo => { in => 'query', type => 'string', description => 'yadah' },
         ],

         # equivalent hashref format

         parameters => {
             bar => { in => 'path', required => 1, type => 'string' },
             foo => { in => 'query', type => 'string', description => 'yadah' },
         },

         # equivalent, using defaults
         parameters => {
             bar => { in => 'path', required => 1 },
             foo => 'yadah',
         },

   responses

     Possible responses from the path. Must be a hashref.

         swagger_path {
             responses => {
                 default => { description => 'The judge information' }
             },
         },
         get '/judge/:judge_name' => { ... };

     If the key example is given (instead of examples as defined by the
     Swagger specs), and the serializer used by the application is
     Dancer::Serializer::JSON or Dancer::Serializer::YAML, the example
     will be expanded to have the right content-type key.

         swagger_path {
             responses => {
                 default => { example => { fullname => 'Mary Ann Murphy' } }
             },
         },
         get '/judge/:judge_name' => { ... };

         # equivalent to

         swagger_path {
             responses => {
                 default => { examples => { 'application/json' => { fullname => 'Mary Ann Murphy' } } }
             },
         },
         get '/judge/:judge_name' => { ... };

     The special key template will not appear in the Swagger doc, but will
     be used by the swagger_template plugin keyword.

swagger_template $code, $args

       swagger_path {
           responses => {
               404 => { template => sub { +{ error => "judge '$_[0]' not found" } }
           },
       },
       get '/judge/:judge_name' => {
           my $name = param('judge_name');
           return swagger_template 404, $name unless in_db($name);
           ...;
       };

   Calls the template for the $code response, passing it $args. If $code
   is numerical, also set the response's status to that value.

swagger_auto_discover skip => \@list

   Populates the Swagger document with information of all the routes of
   the application.

   Accepts an optional skip parameter that takes an arrayref of routes
   that shouldn't be added to the Swagger document. The routes can be
   specified as-is, or via regular expressions. If no skip list is given,
   defaults to the c<auto_discover_skip> configuration value.

       swagger_auto_discover skip => [ '/swagger.json', qr#^/doc/# ];

   The information of a route won't be altered if it's already present in
   the document.

   If a route has path parameters, they will be automatically added as
   such in the parameters section.

   Routes defined as regexes are skipped, as there is no clean way to
   automatically make them look nice.

           # will be picked up
       get '/user' => ...;

           # ditto, as '/user/{user_id}'
       get '/user/:user_id => ...;

           # won't be picked up
       get qr#/user/(\d+)# => ...;

   Note that routes defined after swagger_auto_discover has been called
   won't be added to the Swagger document. Typically, you'll want
   swagger_auto_discover to be called at the very end of your module.
   Alternatively, swagger_auto_discover can be called more than once
   safely -- which can be useful if an application creates routes
   dynamically.

swagger_definition $name => $definition, ...

   Adds a schema (or more) to the definition section of the Swagger
   document.

       swagger_definition 'Judge' => {
           type => 'object',
           required => [ 'fullname' ],
           properties => {
               fullname => { type => 'string' },
               seasons => { type => 'array', items => { type => 'integer' } },
           }
       };

   The function returns the reference to the definition that can be then
   used where schemas are used.

       my $Judge = swagger_definition 'Judge' => { ... };
       # $Judge is now the hashref '{ '$ref' => '#/definitions/Judge' }'

       # later on...
       swagger_path {
           responses => {
               default => { schema => $Judge },
           },
       },
       get '/judge/:name' => sub { ... };
