DESCRIPTION
This module provides various tools for working with an OpenAPI Specification v3.1 document within your application. The JSON Schema evaluator is fully specification-compliant; the OpenAPI evaluator aims to be but some features are not yet available. My belief is that missing features are better than features that seem to work but actually cut corners for simplicity.
CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS
If construction of the object is not successful, for example the document has a syntax error, the call to new()
will throw an exception. Be careful about examining this exception, for it might be a JSON::Schema::Modern::Result object, which has a boolean overload of false when it contains errors! But you never do if ($@) { ... }
, right?
openapi_uri
The URI that identifies the OpenAPI document. Ignored if "openapi_document" is provided.
If it is not absolute, it is resolved at runtime against the request's Host
header (when available) and the https scheme is assumed.
openapi_schema
The data structure describing the OpenAPI v3.1 document (as specified at https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.1.0). Ignored if "openapi_document" is provided.
openapi_document
The JSON::Schema::Modern::Document::OpenAPI document that holds the OpenAPI information to be used for validation. If it is not provided to the constructor, then "openapi_uri" and "openapi_schema" MUST be provided, and "evaluator" will also be used if provided.
evaluator
The JSON::Schema::Modern object to use for all URI resolution and JSON Schema evaluation. Ignored if "openapi_document" is provided. Optional.
ACCESSORS/METHODS
openapi_uri
The URI that identifies the OpenAPI document.
openapi_schema
The data structure describing the OpenAPI document. See "https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.1.0" in the specification.
openapi_document
The JSON::Schema::Modern::Document::OpenAPI document that holds the OpenAPI information to be used for validation.
document_get
my $parameter_data = $openapi->document_get('/paths/~1foo~1{foo_id}/get/parameters/0');
Fetches the subschema at the provided JSON pointer. Proxies to "get" in JSON::Schema::Modern::Document::OpenAPI. This is not recursive (does not follow $ref
chains) -- for that, use $openapi->openapi_document->recursive_get($json_pointer)
, in "recursive_get" in JSON::Schema::Modern::Document::OpenAPI.
evaluator
The JSON::Schema::Modern object to use for all URI resolution and JSON Schema evaluation.
validate_request
$result = $openapi->validate_request(
$request,
# optional second argument can contain any combination of:
my $options = {
path_template => '/foo/{arg1}/bar/{arg2}',
operation_id => 'my_operation_id',
path_captures => { arg1 => 1, arg2 => 2 },
method => 'get',
},
);
Validates an HTTP::Request or Mojo::Message::Request object against the corresponding OpenAPI v3.1 document, returning a JSON::Schema::Modern::Result object.
The second argument is an optional hashref that contains extra information about the request, corresponding to the values expected by "find_path" below. It is populated with some information about the request: save it and pass it to a later "validate_response" (corresponding to a response for this request) to improve performance.
validate_response
$result = $openapi->validate_response(
$response,
{
path_template => '/foo/{arg1}/bar/{arg2}',
request => $request,
},
);
Validates an HTTP::Response or Mojo::Message::Response object against the corresponding OpenAPI v3.1 document, returning a JSON::Schema::Modern::Result object.
The second argument is an optional hashref that contains extra information about the request corresponding to the response, as in "find_path".
request
is also accepted as a key in the hashref, representing the original request object that corresponds to this response (as not all HTTP libraries link to the request in the response object).
find_path
$result = $self->find_path($options);
Uses information in the request to determine the relevant parts of the OpenAPI specification. request
should be provided if available, but additional data can be used instead (which is populated by earlier "validate_request" or "find_path" calls to the same request).
The single argument is a hashref that contains information about the request. Possible values include:
request
: the object representing the HTTP request. Should be provided when available.path_template
: a string representing the request URI, with placeholders in braces (e.g./pets/{petId}
); see https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.1.0#paths-object.operation_id
: a string corresponding to the operationId at a particular path-template and HTTP location under/paths
path_captures
: a hashref mapping placeholders in the path to their actual values in the request URImethod
: the HTTP method used by the request (used case-insensitively)
All of these values are optional (unless request
is omitted), and will be derived from the request URI as needed (albeit less efficiently than if they were provided). All passed-in values MUST be consistent with each other and the request URI.
When successful, the options hash will be populated with keys path_template
, path_captures
, method
, and operation_id
, and the return value is true. When not successful, the options hash will be populated with key errors
, an arrayref containing a JSON::Schema::Modern::Error object, and the return value is false. Other values may also be populated if they can be successfully calculated.
In addition, this value is populated in the options hash (when available):
* operation_path
: a json pointer string indicating the document location of the operation that was just evaluated against the request * request
(not necessarily what was passed in: this is always a Mojo::Message::Request)
Note that the /servers
section of the OpenAPI document is not used for path matching at this time, for either scheme and host matching nor path prefixes.
recursive_get
Given a uri or uri-reference, get the definition at that location, following any $ref
s along the way. Returns the data in scalar context, or a tuple of the data and the canonical URI of the referenced location in list context.
If the provided location is relative, the main openapi document is used for the base URI. If you have a local json pointer you want to resolve, you can turn it into a uri-reference by prepending #
.
my $schema = $openapi->recursive_get('#/components/parameters/Content-Encoding');
# starts with a JSON::Schema::Modern object (TODO)
my $schema = $js->recursive_get('https:///openapi_doc.yaml#/components/schemas/my_object')
my $schema = $js->recursive_get('https://localhost:1234/my_spec#/$defs/my_object')
canonical_uri
An accessor that delegates to "canonical_uri" in JSON::Schema::Modern::Document.
schema
An accessor that delegates to "schema" in JSON::Schema::Modern::Document.
get_media_type
An accessor that delegates to "get_media_type" in JSON::Schema::Modern.
add_media_type
A setter that delegates to "add_media_type" in JSON::Schema::Modern.
ON THE USE OF JSON SCHEMAS
Embedded JSON Schemas, through the use of the schema
keyword, are fully draft2020-12-compliant, as per the spec, and implemented with JSON::Schema::Modern. Unless overridden with the use of the jsonSchemaDialect keyword, their metaschema is https://spec.openapis.org/oas/3.1/dialect/base, which allows for use of the OpenAPI-specific keywords (discriminator
, xml
, externalDocs
, and example
), as defined in "https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.1.0#schema-object" in the specification. Format validation is turned on, and the use of content* keywords is off (see "validate_content_schemas" in JSON::Schema::Modern).
References (with the $ref
) keyword may reference any position within the entire OpenAPI document; as such, json pointers are relative to the root of the document, not the root of the subschema itself. References to other documents are also permitted, provided those documents have been loaded into the evaluator in advance (see "add_schema" in JSON::Schema::Modern).
Values are generally treated as strings for the purpose of schema evaluation. However, if the top level of the schema contains "type": "number"
or "type": "integer"
, then the value will be (attempted to be) coerced into a number before being passed to the JSON Schema evaluator. Type coercion will not be done if the type
keyword is omitted. This lets you use numeric keywords such as maximum
and multipleOf
in your schemas. It also resolves inconsistencies that can arise when request and response objects are created manually in a test environment (as opposed to being parsed from incoming network traffic) and can therefore inadvertently contain perlish numbers rather than strings.
LIMITATIONS
Only certain permutations of OpenAPI documents are supported at this time:
for path parameters, only
style: simple
andexplode: false
is supportedfor query parameters, only
style: form
andexplode: true
is supported, only the first value of each parameter name is considered, andallowEmptyValue
andallowReserved
are not checkedcookie parameters are not checked at all yet
