Automatically generate API documentation for Laravel without writing annotations.
Requirements
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require rakutentech/laravel-request-docs
You can publish the config file with:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=request-docs-config php artisan route:cache # Optional publish assets # php artisan vendor:publish --tag=request-docs-assets
(optional) Add the following middleware to your API, so that the SQL logs and model events are captured.
app/Http/Kernel.php
'api' => [ ... \Rakutentech\LaravelRequestDocs\LaravelRequestDocsMiddleware::class, ... and so on
Usage
Dashboard
View in the browser on /request-docs/
Design pattern
For this plugin to work, you need to follow the design pattern by injecting the request class inside the controller. For extra documentation you can use markdown inside your controller method as well.
Screenshots
Dark and Light Modes
- Uses local storage to save the history of previous requests and request headers.
- Request, SQL, response and events timeline below:
Settings to sort, group and filter
Extra documentation
You can write extra documentation in markdown using @lrd
in the PHPDoc on the rules
method of the Request
classes and on the controller methods.
This will then be rendered as HTML on the dashboard.
Documentation defined on the controller method is appended below documentation defined on the rules
method.
Example of using it in the controller:
/** * @lrd:start * # Hello markdown * Free `code` or *text* to write documentation in markdown * @lrd:end */ public function index(MyIndexRequest $request): Resource {
Extra parameters
You define extra parameters using @LRDparam
.
You can use @LRDparam
in PHPDoc on both the rules
methods and the controller methods.
You can also overwrite rules using @LRDparam
.
Meaning, when rules are defined in the rules
method, you can overwrite those rules using @LRDparam
in the PHPDoc above the rules
method.
And you can overwrite those rules using @LRDparam
in a PHPDoc on the controller methods.
So, the precedence is Controller method PHPDoc
< Rules method PHPDoc
< Rules method values
.
/** * @LRDparam username string|max:32 * // either space or pipe * @LRDparam nickaname string|nullable|max:32 * // override the default response codes * @LRDresponses 200|422 */ public function index(MyIndexRequest $request): Resource {
Response codes
Without explicitly declaring response codes,
all routes are documented to return any of the response codes defined in the request-docs.php default_responses
configuration.
However, using @LRDresponse 200|422
(spaces or pipes) within the PHPDoc on your controller methods,
you are able to explicitly define what status codes can be returned by the server.
Configuration
Please view the request-docs.php
config file to see how you can customise your experience.
