A plugin for [fastify](https://www.fastify.io) to autogenerate a configuration based on a [OpenApi](https://www.openapis.org/)(v2/v3) specification.

It aims at facilitating ["design first" API development](https://swagger.io/blog/api-design/design-first-or-code-first-api-development/) i.e. you write or obtain an API specification and use that to generate code. Given an OpenApi specification Fastify-openapi-glue handles the fastify configuration of routes and schemas etc. You can also [generate](#generator) your own project from a OpenApi specification.

## Upgrading

If you are upgrading from a previous major version of `fastify-openapi-glue` then please checkout [UPGRADING.md](UPGRADING.md).

<a name="install"></a>
## Install 
```
npm i fastify-openapi-glue --save
```
<a name="plugin"></a>
## Plugin
<a name="pluginUsage"></a>
### Usage

Add the plugin to your project with `register` and pass it some basic options and you are done !
```javascript
import openapiGlue from "fastify-openapi-glue";
import { Service } from "./service.js";
import { Security } from "./security.js";

const options = {
  specification: `${currentDir}/petstore-openapi.v3.json`,
  service: new Service(),
  securityHandlers: new Security(),
  prefix: "v1",
};


fastify.register(openapiGlue, options);
```

All schema and routes will be taken from the OpenApi specification listed in the options. No need to specify them in your code. 
<a name="pluginOptions"></a>
### Options
  - `specification`: this can be a JSON object, or the name of a JSON or YAML file containing a valid OpenApi(v2/v3) file 
  - `service`: this can be a javascript object or class instance
  - `securityHandlers`: this can be a javascript object or class instance. See the [securityHandlers documentation](docs/securityHandlers.md) for more details.
  - `prefix`: this is a string that can be used to prefix the routes, it is passed verbatim to fastify. E.g. if the path to your operation is specified as "/operation" then a prefix of "v1" will make it available at "/v1/operation". This setting overrules any "basePath" setting in a v2 specification. See the [servers documentation](docs/servers.md) for more details on using prefix with a v3 specification.
 - `operationResolver`: a custom operation resolver function, `(operationId, method, openapiPath) => handler` where method is the uppercase HTTP method (e.g. "GET") and openapiPath is the path taken from the specification without prefix (e.g. "/operation"). Mutually exclusive with `service`.

`specification` and `service` are mandatory, `securityHandlers` and `prefix` are optional.
See the [examples](#examples) section for a demo.

Please be aware that `this` will refer to your service object or your securityHandler object and not to Fastify as explained in the [bindings documentation](docs/bindings.md)

<a name="pluginApiExtensions"></a>
### OpenAPI extensions
The OpenAPI specification supports [extending an API spec](https://spec.openapis.org/oas/latest.html#specification-extensions) to describe extra functionality that isn't covered by the official specification. Extensions start with `x-` (e.g., `x-myapp-logo`) and can contain a primitive, an array, an object, or `null`.

The following extensions are provided by the plugin:
- `x-fastify-config` (object): any properties will be added to the `routeOptions.config` / `context.config` property of the Fastify route.

  For example, if you wanted to use the fastify-raw-body plugin to compute a checksum of the request body, you could add the following extension to your OpenAPI spec to signal the plugin to specially handle this route:

  ```yaml
  paths:
    /webhooks:
      post:
        operationId: processWebhook
        x-fastify-config:
          rawBody: true
        responses:
          204:
            description: Webhook processed successfully
  ```

You can also set custom OpenAPI extensions (e.g., `x-myapp-foo`) for use within your app's implementation. These properties are passed through unmodified to the Fastify route on `{req,reply}.context`. Extensions specified on a schema are also accessible (e.g., `context.schema.body` or `context.schema.responses[<statusCode>]`).

<a name="generator"></a>
## Generator

To make life even more easy there is the `openapi-glue` cli. The `openapi-glue` cli takes a valid OpenApi (v2/v3) file (JSON or YAML) and generates a project including a fastify plugin that you can use on any fastify server, a stub of the service class and a skeleton of a test harness to test the plugin. 

<a name="generatorUsage"></a>
### Usage
```
  openapi-glue [options] <OpenApi specification>
```
or if you don't have `openapi-glue` installed:
```
  npx github:seriousme/fastify-openapi-glue <OpenApi specification>
```
This will generate a project based on the provided OpenApi specification.
Any existing files in the project folder will be overwritten!
See the [generator examples](#examples) section for a demo.
<a name="generatorOptions"></a>
### Options
```

  -p <name>                   The name of the project to generate
  --projectName=<name>        [default: generatedProject]

  -b <dir> --baseDir=<dir>    Directory to generate the project in.
                              This directory must already exist.
                              [default: "."]

The following options are only usefull for testing the openapi-glue plugin:
  -c --checksumOnly           Don't generate the project on disk but
                              return checksums only.
  -l --localPlugin            Use a local path to the plugin.
```
See the [generator example](#generatorExamples) section for a demo.


<a name="examples"></a>
## Examples
Clone this repository and run `npm i` 

<a name="pluginExamples"></a>
### Plugin
Executing `npm start` will start fastify on localhost port 3000 with the
routes extracted from the [petstore example](examples/petstore/petstore-openapi.v3.json) and the [accompanying service definition](examples/petstore/service.js)

* http://localhost:3000/v2/pet/24 will return a pet as specified in service.js
* http://localhost:3000/v2/pet/myPet will return a fastify validation error:

```json
{
  "statusCode": 400,
  "error": "Bad Request",
  "message": "params.petId should be integer"
}
```

* http://localhost:3000/v2/pet/findByStatus?status=available&status=pending will return
  the following error:

```json
{
  "statusCode": 500,
  "error": "Internal Server Error",
  "message": "Operation findPetsByStatus not implemented"
}
```

* http://localhost:3000/v2/pet/0 will return the following error:

```json
{
  "statusCode": 500,
  "error": "Internal Server Error",
  "message":"\"name\" is required!"
}
```

as the pet returned by service.js does not match the response schema.

<a name="generatorExamples"></a>
### Generator
The folder [examples/generatedProject](examples/generatedProject) contains the result of running `openapi-glue -l --baseDir=examples examples/petstore/petstore-swagger.v2.yaml`. The generated code can be started using `npm start` in `examples/generatedProject` (you will need to run `npm i` in the generated folder first)
<a name="Notes"></a>
## Notes
- the plugin ignores information in a v3 specification under `server/url` as there could be multiple values here, use the `prefix` [option](#pluginOptions) if you need to prefix your routes. See the [servers documentation](docs/servers.md) for more details.
- fastify only supports `application/json` and `text/plain` out of the box. The default charset is `utf-8`.  If you need to support different content types, you can use the fastify `addContentTypeParser` API.
- fastify will by default coerce types, e.g when you expect a number a string like `"1"` will also pass validation, this can be reconfigured, see [Validation and Serialization](https://www.fastify.io/docs/latest/Reference/Validation-and-Serialization/).
- fastify only supports one schema per route. So while the v3 standard allows for multiple content types per route, each with their own schema this is currently not going to work with fastify. Potential workarounds include a custom content type parser and merging schemas upfront using JSON schema `oneOf`.
- the plugin aims to follow fastify and does not compensate for features that are possible according to the OpenApi specification but not possible in standard fastify (without plugins). This will keep the plugin lightweigth and maintainable.
- if you have special needs on querystring handling (e.g. arrays, objects etc) then fastify supports a [custom querystring parser](https://www.fastify.io/docs/latest/Server/#querystringparser). You might need to pass the AJV option `coerceTypes: 'array'` as an option to Fastify.

<a name="Fastify-swaggergen"></a>
## Fastify-swaggergen
Fastify-openapi-glue is the successor to the now deprecated [fastify-swaggergen](https://github.com/seriousme/fastify-swaggergen) project.
Main difference is that it: 
- aims to support OpenApi and not just Swagger V2 (hence the name change)
- does not include fastify-swagger support anymore. If you need to show the swagger UI you can include it yourself. Removing the swagger UI clears up a number of dependencies.
