Swagger Ajax Client
Given a schema object, this tool returns an api object which can be used to interact with the API server
described by the schema. The schema can easily be generated using fetch-swagger-schema).
Usage
To use, include one of these files in your application:
You may also bower install swagger-ajax-client to install using bower. Once you've included the script, you can use the swaggerAjaxClient function to generate the api using a given schema object.
Schemas can be generated using fetch-swagger-schema.
Examples
First, a simple example. Let's say you saved a schema json file, then loaded it
into your app as the schema variable. Now you can call operations on the API
by using swaggerAjaxClient:
// Assuming the variable schema exists
var api = swaggerAjaxClient(schema);
// for apiKey authorization use: api.auth('my-token')
// for basicAuth use: api.auth('username', 'password')
api.pet.getPetById(id).then(function(pet){
console.log(pet);
});
Here's a more advanced case in which we're leveraging promises to implement a
'getOrCreate' method, which doesn't actually exist within the api:
var api = swaggerAjaxClient(schema);
function getOrCreate(id, name){
return api.pet.getPetById(id).catch(function(response){
// If pet doesn't exist, create a new one.
if(response.status === 404){
var pet = {id: id, name: name};
return api.pet.addPet(pet).then(function(){
return pet;
});
}
// Unknown error
console.error(response.error.toString());
});
}
getOrCreate(23, 'bob').then(function(pet){
console.log('Got pet:', pet);
}, function(error){
console.error(error.toString());
});
API
api = swaggerAjaxClient(schema)
schemaObject - A json object describing the schema (generated by fetch-swagger-schema).
api - An object which can be used as the api for the given schema. The first-level objects are the resources within the schema and the second-level functions are the operations which can be performed on those resources.
api.
A map of all the resources as defined in the schema to their operation handler (e.g. api.pet).
responsePromise = api..(data, options)
This is the actual operation function to initiate a request to the API endpoint (e.g., api.pet.getPetById).
The operation handler takes two parameters:
data - A map of the operation data parameters. If the operation only has one parameter, the value may be used directly (i.e. api.pet.getPetById(1, callback) is the same as api.pet.getPetById({petId: 1}, callback)).
options - A map of the options to use when calling the operation (see below for full list).
The response promise is an ES6 promise. A HTTP response in the 200s range will result
in a resolved promise and anything else will result in a rejected promises. A resolved
promise value is whatever the server responded with (JSON is automatically parsed). A
rejected promise value is a map with a status, data, and error properties, where
the status is the HTTP status, data is the response body from the server, and error
is a JavaScript error (if any occurred).
Here's an example:
// use of .then(successHandler, failHandler)
responsePromise.then(function(response){
console.log('successful response:', response);
}, function(response){
console.log('request failed due to error:', response.error);
});
Developing
After installing nodejs execute the following:
git clone https://github.com/signalfx/swagger-ajax-client.git
cd swagger-ajax-client
npm install
npm run dev
The build engine will test and build everything, start a server hosting the example folder on localhost:3000, and watch for any changes and rebuild when nescessary.
To generate minified files in dist:
npm run dist
