Swagger Documentation Provider for Apigility

Introduction

This module provides Apigility the ability to show API documentation through a Swagger UI.

The Swagger UI is immediately accessible after enabling this module at the URI path /apigility/swagger.

In addition to providing the HTML UI, this module also plugs into the main Apigility documentation resource (at the path /apigility/documentation) in order to allow returning a documentation payload in the application/vnd.swagger+json media type; this resource is what feeds the Swagger UI. You can access this representation by passing the media type application/vnd.swagger+json for the Accept header via the path /apigility/documentation/:module/:service.

Requirements

Please see the composer.json file.

Installation

Run the following composer command:

$ composer require "zfcampus/zf-apigility-documentation-swagger:~1.0-dev"

Alternately, manually add the following to your composer.json, in the require section:

"require": {
    "zfcampus/zf-apigility-documentation-swagger": "~1.0-dev"
}

And then run composer update to ensure the module is installed.

Finally, add the module name to your project's config/application.config.php under the modules key:

return array(
    /* ... */
    'modules' => array(
        /* ... */
        'ZF\Apigility\Documentation\Swagger',
    ),
    /* ... */
);

ZF2 Events

Listeners

ZF\Apigility\Documentation\Swagger\Module

This listener is attached to the MvcEvent::EVENT_RENDER event at priority 100. Its purpose is to conditionally attach a view strategy to the view system in cases where the controller response is a ZF\Apigility\Documentation\Swagger\ViewModel view model (likely selected as the content-negotiated view model based off of Accept media types).

ZF2 Services

View Models

ZF\Apigility\Documentation\Swagger\ViewModel

This view model is responsible for translating the available ZF\Apigility\Documentation models into Swagger-specific models, and further casting them to arrays for later rendering as JSON.
