⚡️@didik-mulyadi/nodejs-api-doc

A package to generate the API docs with multiple UI based on the open API file.

Bug report ·
Feature request

This package already supports NestJS and ExpressJS.


At this point, we are focusing on adding examples with many js-doc libraries. In the future, we will create our open API doc generation, "One Code for All Frameworks", but don't worry we are still making it support with other libraries.

Installation 🚀

Install @didik-mulyadi/nodejs-api-doc using pnpm/npm/yarn:

``bash
pnpm add @didik-mulyadi/nodejs-api-doc

OR

npm install @didik-mulyadi/nodejs-api-doc

OR

yarn add @didik-mulyadi/nodejs-api-doc
`

Usage 💻

After we set up the package correctly, we can switch the UI in your docs with this.


For example, your API doc location is http://localhost:3000/docs

1. Use Swagger UI, http://localhost:3000/docs?ui=swagger

!image

2. Use Stoplight UI, http://localhost:3000/docs?ui=stoplight

!image

3. Use Redoc UI, http://localhost:3000/docs?ui=redoc

!image

For code examples, see the examples directory or click.

Compatibility ⚙️

This package supports any package/library that returns the open API object. These are tested framework and library that is compatible with our package:

| Library | Support |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| Nest JS + Fastify with @nestjs/swagger | ✅ |
| Nest JS + Express with @nestjs/swagger | ✅ |
| Express with swagger-jsdoc | ✅ |

Implementation 💻

Here's an example of how to use this package:

$3

Step:

1. Modify your src/main.ts with the below steps
2. Create a swagger config with new DocumentBuilder()
3. Generate open API document object with SwaggerModule.createDocument(app, config)
4. Setup nodejs-api-doc with new NestApiDoc
5. Start nodejs-api-doc with nestApiDoc.start()

``typescript
import { NestApiDoc } from '@didik-mulyadi/nodejs-api-doc'

async function bootstrap() {
const app = await NestFactory.create(
AppModule,
new FastifyAdapter()
)
// swagger
const config = new DocumentBuilder()
.setTitle('Node.js API Docs')
.setDescription('This API provides ...')
.setVersion('0.0.1')
.build()
const document = SwaggerModule.createDocument(app, config)

// nodejs-api-doc
const nestApiDoc = new NestApiDoc(app, document, {
defaultUI: 'stoplight',
customPath: '/docs',
})
nestApiDoc.start()

// Run the nestjs
await app.listen(8080, '0.0.0.0')
}
`

Step:

1. Modify your server.js or main.js with the below steps
2. Call the swagger-jsdoc const document = swaggerJsdoc(options)
3. Setup nodejs-api-doc const expressApiDoc = new ExpressApiDoc(app, document)
4. Start nodejs-api-doc expressApiDoc.start()

`typescript
const { ExpressApiDoc } = require('@didik-mulyadi/nodejs-api-doc')

const app = express()

...

// swagger-jsdoc
const options = {
definition: {
openapi: '3.1.0',
