NAME

SQL::Translator::Parser::OpenAPI - convert OpenAPI schema to SQL::Translator schema

SYNOPSIS

use SQL::Translator;
use SQL::Translator::Parser::OpenAPI;

my $translator = SQL::Translator->new;
$translator->parser("OpenAPI");
$translator->producer("YAML");
$translator->translate($file);

# or...
$ sqlt -f OpenAPI -t MySQL <my-openapi.json >my-mysqlschema.sql

DESCRIPTION

This module implements a SQL::Translator::Parser to convert a JSON::Validator::OpenAPI specification to a SQL::Translator::Schema.

It uses, from the given API spec, the given "definitions" to generate tables in an RDBMS with suitable columns and types.

To try to make the data model represent the "real" data, it applies heuristics:

• to remove object definitions that only have one property (which the author calls "thin objects")

• for definitions that have allOf, either merge them together if there is a discriminator, or absorb properties from referred definitions

• to find object definitions that have all the same properties as another, and remove all but the shortest-named one

• to remove object definitions whose properties are a strict subset of another

• creates object definitions for any properties that are an object

• creates object definitions for any properties that are an array of simple OpenAPI types (e.g. string)

• creates object definitions for any objects that are additionalProperties (i.e. freeform key/value pairs), that are key/value rows

• absorbs any definitions that are in fact not objects, into the referring property

• injects foreign-key relationships for array-of-object properties, and creates many-to-many tables for any two-way array relationships

ARGUMENTS

None at present.

PACKAGE FUNCTIONS

parse

Standard as per SQL::Translator::Parser. The input $data is a scalar that can be understood as a JSON::Validator specification.

defs2mask

Given a hashref that is a JSON pointer to an OpenAPI spec's /definitions, returns a hashref that maps each definition name to a bitmask. The bitmask is set from each property name in that definition, according to its order in the complete sorted list of all property names in the definitions. Not exported. E.g.

# properties:
my $defs = {
  d1 => {
    properties => {
      p1 => 'string',
      p2 => 'string',
    },
  },
  d2 => {
    properties => {
      p2 => 'string',
      p3 => 'string',
    },
  },
};
my $mask = SQL::Translator::Parser::OpenAPI::defs2mask($defs);
# all prop names, sorted: qw(p1 p2 p3)
# $mask:
{
  d1 => (1 << 0) | (1 << 1),
  d2 => (1 << 1) | (1 << 2),
}

DEBUGGING

To debug, set environment variable SQLTP_OPENAPI_DEBUG to a true value.
