We analyze your JSON bodies to build precise types automatically:
`javascript
// Automatically detects and documents:
{
"user": {
"name": "string",
"email": "string (email format)",
"createdAt": "string (date-time format)",
"preferences": {
"theme": "string",
"notifications": "boolean"
}
}
}
`
#### š Advanced Authentication Support
* Bearer tokens
* API keys
* Basic auth
* Custom authentication schemes
* Automatic security documentation
#### š File Upload Documentation
Automatically handles multipart/form-data. We document:
* File type validation
* Size limits
* Multiple file support
* Swagger UI file upload interface (Yes, you can upload files directly from the docs!)
#### šØ Beautiful UI
* Stunning Swagger UI included
* Interactive API explorer
* Real-time testing directly from docs
* Mobile-responsive design

// 1. Register the magic middleware
app.use(expressMiddleware());
// 2. Your existing routes work as usual
app.get('/users', (req, res) => {
res.json({ users: [{ id: 1, name: 'John' }] });
});
// 3. Serve the docs
app.use('/docs', expressHandler());
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('š Docs available at http://localhost:3000/docs');
});
`
#### ā” Fastify
`javascript
import Fastify from 'fastify';
import docItUpPlugin from 'doc-it-up/fastify';
const fastify = Fastify();
// Register the plugin
await fastify.register(docItUpPlugin);
fastify.get('/hello', async () => {
return { hello: 'world' };

import { Hono } from 'hono';
import { honoMiddleware, registerHonoDocs } from 'doc-it-up/hono';
const app = new Hono();
app.use('*', honoMiddleware());
app.get('/api', (c) => c.json({ message: 'Hello Hono!' }));
// Register /docs endpoints
registerHonoDocs(app);
export default app;
`
#### š Koa

šØ NOTE: doc-it-up generates documentation based on actual requests. This is amazing for development! However, please ensure you review or secure your documentation routes before deploying to a public production environment to avoid exposing sensitive test data.
šÆ Advanced Features
$3
`javascript
// First request: { "name": "John" }
// Second request: { "name": "John", "age": 30 }
// doc-it-up automatically merges schemas intelligently to { "name": string, "age": integer }
`
$3
* Documentation updates automatically with each request
* No server restart required
* Schema versioning and change detection
$3
* JSON
* XML
* Form data
* File uploads
* Custom content types
