Automatic linting of your OpenApi specifications and highlighting in your editor
Specify your own ruleset in the plugins settings, under Preferences -> Tools -> Spectral -> Ruleset. There you can specify a file on your local machine or just paste the URL of a ruleset available on the internet e.g.: Schwarz IT API linting rules.
Examples:
- Link to a hosted ruleset: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SchwarzIT/api-linter-rules/main/spectral-api.yml
- Local ruleset inside the project: ".spectral.json"
Select the files that will be linted. By default, every file called "openapi.json" or "openapi.yml" will be linted by the plugin when it's opened. You can adjust this in the settings under Preferences -> Tools -> Spectral -> Included files. All paths are relative to the projects working directory.
Examples:
- openapi.json: Matches the file called "openapi.json" inside the root directory of the project
- components/**.json: Matches all files inside the directory "components" that end with ".json"
Plugin based on the IntelliJ Platform Plugin Template.
