Installation
--------------------------
Install using npm:

npm install -g @apidevtools/swagger-cli
Usage
--------------------------
`
swagger-cli
Commands:
validate Validates an API definition in Swagger 2.0 or OpenAPI 3.0 format
bundle Bundles a multi-file API definition into a single file
Options:
-h, --help Show help for any command
-v, --version Output the CLI version number
-d, --debug [filter] Show debug output, optionally filtered (e.g. "", "swagger:", etc.)
`
The swagger-cli validate command will validate your Swagger/OpenAPI definition against the Swagger 2.0 schema or OpenAPI 3.0 Schema. It also performs additional validations against the specification, which will catch some things that aren't covered by the schema, such as duplicate parameters, invalid MIME types, etc.
The command will exit with a non-zero code if the API is invalid.
`
swagger-cli validate [options]
Options:
--no-schema Do NOT validate against the Swagger/OpenAPI JSON schema
--no-spec Do NOT validate against the Swagger/OpenAPI specification

#### Git pre-commit hook
There is a useful Python tool called pre-commit that can be used to execute a wide suite of pre-commit checks. The swagger-cli validate command can be integrated as part of a git pre-commit hook by adding the following configuration to the repos entry of an existing .pre-commit-config.yaml file.
`
- repo: https://github.com/APIDevTools/swagger-cli
rev: v2.2.1
hooks:
- id: swagger-validation
args: ["validate", "
The intention is to point to single root swagger that references multiple swagger definitions. The above hook will execute the swagger-cli validation against the root swagger anytime that a file matching the pattern .swagger.\.(json|yaml|yml) is modified. Any failures in this validation will prevent the git commit from being processed.
The Swagger and OpenAPI specs allows you to split your API definition across multiple files using $ref pointers to reference each file. You can use the swagger-cli bundle command to combine all of those referenced files into a single file, which is useful for distribution or interoperation with other tools.
By default, the swagger-cli bundle command tries to keep the output file size as small as possible, by only embedding each referenced file _once_. If the same file is referenced multiple times, then any subsequent references are simply modified to point to the _single_ inlined copy of the file. If you want to produce a bundled file without _any_ $ref pointers, then add the --dereference option. This will result in a larger file size, since multiple references to the same file will result in that file being embedded multiple times.
If you don't specify the --outfile option, then the bundled API will be written to stdout, which means you can pipe it to other commands.
The result of this method by default is written as JSON. It can be changed to YAML with the --type option, by passing the yaml value.
`
swagger-cli bundle [options]
Options:
-o, --outfile
-r, --dereference Fully dereference all $ref pointers
-f, --format
(the default is 2 spaces)
-t, --type
(the default is JSON)
-w, --wrap
(the default is no wrapping)
