Usage

To generate doc file (YML) run following command:

Responses

Responses are parsed only if explicitly documented by @Annotation. It must be placed in PHPDoc of controller method that route use. RAW response:

/**
 * Controller method PHPDoc
 *
 * @OA\Response(true,contentType="application/json",description="Boolean response")
 *
 * @param Request $request
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
 */

JSON RAW response:

/**
 * Controller method PHPDoc
 *
 * @OA\ResponseJson({"key":"value"},status=201,description="User data response")
 *
 * @param Request $request
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
 */

/**
 * Controller method PHPDoc
 *
 * @OA\ResponseJson({
 *      @OA\ResponseParam("key",type="string",example="value",description="Some parameter"),
 * },status=201,description="User data response")
 *
 * @param Request $request
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
 */

Response from class properties:

/**
 * Controller method PHPDoc
 *
 * @OA\ResponseClass("App\User",description="User model response")
 *
 * @param Request $request
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
 */

In example above response data will be parsed from App\User PHPDoc.

@property descriptions (property name, type and description)
@property-read descriptions (if set with property in ResponseClass annotation)
@OA\Property annotations (property name, type, description, example etc.)

@OA\ResponseClass use cases, first is standard use but with additional properties

/**
 * @OA\ResponseClass("App\User",with={"profile"},status=201)
 */

As items list

/**
 * @OA\ResponseClass("App\User",asList=true)
 */

As paged items list

/**
 * @OA\ResponseClass("App\User",asPagedList=true)
 */

Error responses

/**
 * @OA\ResponseError(403) // Forbidden
 * @OA\ResponseError(404) // Not found
 * @OA\ResponseError(422) // Validation error
 */

Request bodies

Request data is parsed from ::rules() method of FormRequest class, that used in controller method for the route and it's annotations (@OA\RequestBody, @OA\RequestBodyJson, @OA\RequestParam). From ::rules() method we can obtain only name and type of parameter and suggest some example, but if you want fully describe parameters of request body you must place appropriate annotations in FormRequest class for route.

Examples

/**
 * @OA\RequestBodyJson({
 *   @OA\RequestParam("first_name",type="string",description="User name"),
 *   @OA\RequestParam("email",type="string",description="User email"),
 *   @OA\RequestParamArray("phones",items="string",description="User phones array"),
 * })
 */

Secured

This annotation is used to mark route as secured, and tells to swagger, that you must provide valid user credentials to access this route. Place it in controller method.

/**
 * @OA\Secured()
 */

Property

@OA\Property annotation is used to describe class properties as an alternative or addition to PHPDoc @property. You can place example of property (if property is an associative array for example) or fully describe property if you dont want to place @property declaration for it.

/**
 * @OA\Property("notification_settings",type="object",example={"marketing":false,"user_actions":true},description="User notification settings")
 */

PropertyIgnore

@OA\PropertyIgnore annotation is used to remove given property from object description.

/**
 * @OA\PropertyIgnore("property_name")
 */

Symlink

This annotation can be used to describe symlink to another class (e.g. for response). All data in class PHPDoc in which it appears will be ignored.

You must use full namespace of annotations, e.g. OA\Property.

Besides, you can import a namespace for better code completion as in example beyond.

namespace App\Models;

use OA;

/**
 * Test model class
 *
 * @OA\Property("id",type="integer",description="Primary key")
 *
 * @property string $name String name
 */
class TestModel {}

There is abstract annotation class OA\DescriptionExtender, you can use it for your own annotations, those must add some information to route's description.

Example is bellow.

<?php

namespace App\Components\Annotations\Swagger;

use OA\DescriptionExtender;
use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\Annotation;
use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\Annotation\{Attribute, Attributes};

/**
 * Describes needed permission
 * @Annotation
 * @Attributes({
 *  @Attribute("value",type="string"),
 * })
 * @package App\Components\Annotations\Swagger
 */
class Permission extends DescriptionExtender
{
    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function __toString()
    {
        return '**Permission:** `' . $this->value . '`';
    }
}

You can use annotation from example:

<?php
use App\Components\Annotations\Swagger as SWA;


/**
 * Controller method PHPDoc
 *
 * @OA\ResponseClass("App\User",description="User model response")
 * @SWA\Permission("articles.can-update")
 *
 * @param Request $request
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
 */

and it will add following text into route's description

Description for route goes here...bla-bla-bla...

**Permission:** `articles.can-update`
