• Generation for custom actions
• Generation for custom filters
• Generation for anything custom
• Generation for MorphTo relations (MorphToMany works)
• Generation of Pagination Meta

• Generation of Authentication/Authorization

TODO

• Command to generate to storage folder
• Get basic test suite running with GitHub Actions
• Add extra operation descriptions via config
• Add in tags & x-tagGroups (via config)
• Add tests (Use the dummy by laraveljsonapi to integrate all features)
• Add custom actions
• Split schemas/requests/responses by action

Usage

Install package

composer require byteit/openapi-spec-generator

Publish the config file

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="LaravelJsonApi\OpenApiSpec\OpenApiServiceProvider"

Generate the Open API spec

php artisan jsonapi:openapi:generate v1

Note that a seeded DB is required! The seeded data will be used to generate Samples.

Generating Documentation

A quick way to preview your documentation is to use Speccy. Ensure you have installed Speccy globally and then you can use the following command.

speccy serve storage/app/v1_openapi.yaml
