NAME

Raisin::Plugin::Swagger - Generates API description in Swagger 2/OpenAPI compatible format

VERSION

version 0.94

SYNOPSIS

plugin 'Swagger';

DESCRIPTION

Generates an API description of application.

SPECIFICATION

Compatible with Swagger/OpenAPI Spec 2.0.

CORS

To enable Cross-Origin HTTP Requests you should enable a Plack::Middleware::CrossOrigin middleware with all the parameters you need (like origins, methods, headers, etc.).

middleware 'CrossOrigin',
origins => '*',
methods => [qw/DELETE GET HEAD OPTIONS PATCH POST PUT/],
headers => [qw/accept authorization content-type api_key_token/];

Alternatively you can set CORS headers in a before hook.

SECURITY

Raisin has a limited support of OpenAPI security objects. To make it generate security objects configure it in the way it described below.

Add a api_key security via stoken header.

swagger_security(name => 'stoken', in => 'header', type => 'api_key');

Add the header name to "CORS" in Raisin::Plugin::Swagger headers if you use api_key.

middleware 'CrossOrigin',
origins => '*',
methods => [qw/DELETE GET HEAD OPTIONS PATCH POST PUT/],
headers => [qw/stoken accept authorization content-type/];

Limitations

  • Raisin doesn't support per operation security.

  • Raisin doesn't support oauth2, only basic and api_key are supported.

Example Application

Example of a secured application.

use strict;
middleware '+MyAuthMiddleware';
middleware 'CrossOrigin',
origins => '*',
methods => [qw/DELETE GET HEAD OPTIONS PATCH POST PUT/],
headers => [qw/stoken accept authorization content-type/];
plugin 'Swagger';
swagger_security(name => 'stoken', in => 'header', type => 'api_key');
get sub { { data => 'ok' } };
run;

Example of a middleware used in the application.

package Auth;
use strict;
sub call {
my ($self, $env) = @_;
my $req = Plack::Request->new($env);
if (($req->header('stoken') // '') eq 'secret' || $req->path eq '/swagger.json') {
$self->app->($env);
}
else {
[403, [], ['forbidden']];
}
}
1;
