About

Currently there are several API specification formats (OpenAPI, RAML, Swagger, etc.) which describe the functionality of an API endpoint. This project provides a data model which contains the common information of an API endpoint. There are parser classes which create such models based on a specification and it is also possible to generate a specification from a model object. We have also created an online tool to test those conversions.

Parser

• Annotation (Parses a class which contains annotations)
• OpenAPI (OpenAPI 3.0 specification)
• RAML (RAML 0.8/1.0 specification)
• Swagger (Swagger 2.0 specification)

Generator

• HTML (Generates a HTML representation of the resource)
• JsonSchema (Generates a JsonSchema which contains all schemas of the specification)
• Markdown (Generates a Markdown representation of the resource)
• OpenAPI (Generates a OpenAPI 3.0 specification)
• PHP (Generates PHP source code which represents a controller consuming the API resource)
• RAML (Generates a RAML 1.0 specification)
• Swagger (Generates a Swagger 2.0 specification)
• Typescript (Generates a Typescript based client stub)
• Template (Generates a representation based on a Twig template)

Usage

The root model object is called resource which represents a specific API endpoint. The following is a simple showcase of the resource API so you get a basic understanding how it is designed.

<?php

// reads the OpenAPI specification and generates a resource object which was
// defined under the path /foo
$resource = \PSX\Api\Parser\OpenAPI::fromFile('openapi.json', '/foo');

// returns the title
$resource->getTitle();

// returns available path parameters as PSX\Schema\PropertyInterface
$resource->getPathParameters();

// checks whether a specific request method is supported
$resource->hasMethod('POST');

// returns all allowed methods
$resource->getAllowedMethods();

// returns the available query parameters per method as PSX\Schema\PropertyInterface
$resource->getMethod('POST')->getQueryParameters();

// checks whether the method has a request specification
$resource->getMethod('POST')->hasRequest();

// returns the request body specification as PSX\Schema\SchemaInterface
$resource->getMethod('POST')->getRequest();

// checks whether the method has a response with the status code 201
$resource->getMethod('POST')->hasResponse(201);

// returns the response body specification as PSX\Schema\SchemaInterface
$resource->getMethod('POST')->getResponse(201);

// creates a PHP controller which consumes the defined /foo resource
$generator = new \PSX\Api\Generator\Php();

$source = $generator->generate($resource);
