This is the Swagger javascript client for use with swagger enabled APIs. It's written in javascript and tested with mocha, and is the fastest way to enable a javascript client to communicate with a swagger-enabled server.
Check out Swagger-Spec for additional information about the Swagger project, including additional libraries with support for other languages and more.
Install swagger-client:
npm install swagger-client
or:
bower install swagger-js
Then let swagger do the work!
var client = require('swagger-client');
var swagger = new client({
url: 'http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json',
success: function() {
swagger.pet.getPetById({petId:7},{responseContentType: 'application/json'},function(pet){
console.log('pet', pet);
});
}
});NOTE: we're explicitly setting the responseContentType, because we don't want you getting stuck when there is more than one content type available.
That's it! You'll get a JSON response with the default callback handler:
{
"id": 1,
"category": {
"id": 2,
"name": "Cats"
},
"name": "Cat 1",
"photoUrls": [
"url1",
"url2"
],
"tags": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "tag1"
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "tag2"
}
],
"status": "available"
}Need to pass an API key? Configure one as a querystring:
client.clientAuthorizations.add("apiKey", new client.ApiKeyAuthorization("api_key","special-key","query"));...or with a header:
client.clientAuthorizations.add("apiKey", new client.ApiKeyAuthorization("api_key","special-key","header"));...or with the swagger-client constructor:
var swagger = new client({
url: 'http://example.com/spec.json',
success: function() {},
authorizations : {
easyapi_basic: new client.PasswordAuthorization('<name>', '<username>', '<password>'),
someHeaderAuth: new client.ApiKeyAuthorization('<nameOfHeader>', '<value>', 'header'),
someQueryAuth: new client.ApiKeyAuthorization('<nameOfQueryKey>', '<value>', 'query'),
someCookieAuth: new client.CookieAuthorization('<cookie>'),
}
});Download browser/swagger-client.js into your webapp:
<script src='browser/swagger-client.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// initialize swagger, point to a resource listing
window.swagger = new SwaggerClient({
url: "http://petstore.swagger.io/api/api-docs",
success: function() {
// upon connect, fetch a pet and set contents to element "mydata"
swagger.apis.pet.getPetById({petId:1},{responseContentType: 'application/json'}, function(data) {
document.getElementById("mydata").innerHTML = JSON.stringify(data.obj);
});
}
});
</script>
<body>
<div id="mydata"></div>
</body>var pet = {
id: 100,
name: "dog"};
swagger.pet.addPet({body: pet});var pet = "<Pet><id>2</id><name>monster</name></Pet>";
swagger.pet.addPet({body: pet}, {requestContentType:"application/xml"});swagger.pet.getPetById({petId:1}, {responseContentType:"application/xml"});You can easily write your own request signing code for Swagger. For example:
var CustomRequestSigner = function(name) {
this.name = name;
};
CustomRequestSigner.prototype.apply = function(obj, authorizations) {
var hashFunction = this._btoa;
var hash = hashFunction(obj.url);
obj.headers["signature"] = hash;
return true;
};In the above simple example, we're creating a new request signer that simply
base 64 encodes the URL. Of course you'd do something more sophisticated, but
after encoding it, a header called signature is set before sending the request.
The swagger javascript client reads the swagger api definition directly from the server. As it does, it constructs a client based on the api definition, which means it is completely dynamic. It even reads the api text descriptions (which are intended for humans!) and provides help if you need it:
s.apis.pet.getPetById.help()
'* petId (required) - ID of pet that needs to be fetched'The HTTP requests themselves are handled by the excellent shred library, which has a ton of features itself. But it runs on both node and the browser.
