Swagger Express Middleware

Swagger middleware and mocks for Express.js

Features

Supports Swagger 2.0 specs in JSON or YAML
Swagger Express Middleware uses Swagger-Parser to parse, validate, and dereference Swagger files. You can even split your spec into multiple different files using $ref pointers.
Thoroughly tested
Over 1,000 unit tests and integration tests with 100% code coverage. Tested on over 100 Google APIs. All tests are run on Mac, Linux, and Windows using the past 3 versions of Node. But nothing's perfect, so if you find a bug, please report it.
Mock middleware
Fully-functional mock implementations for every operation in your API, including data persistence, all with zero code! This is a great way to test-drive your API as you write it, or for quick demos and POCs. You can even extend the mock middleware with your own logic and data to fill in any gaps.
Metadata middleware
Annotates each request with all the relevant information from the Swagger definition. The path, the operation, the parameters, the security requirements - they're all easily accessible at req.swagger.
Parse Request middleware
Parses incoming requests and converts everything into the correct data types, according to your Swagger API definition.
Validate Request middleware
Ensures that every request complies with your Swagger API definition, or returns the appropriate HTTP error codes if needed. Of course, you can catch any validation errors and handle them however you want.
CORS middleware
Adds the appropriate CORS headers to each request and automatically responds to CORS preflight requests, all in compliance with your Swagger API definition.
Files middleware
Serves the Swagger API file(s) in JSON or YAML format so they can be used with front-end tools like Swagger UI, Swagger Editor, and Postman.

Installation and Use

Install using NPM.

npm install swagger-express-middleware

Then use it in your Node.js script like this:

var express = require('express');
var middleware = require('swagger-express-middleware');

var app = express();

middleware('PetStore.yaml', app, function(err, middleware) {
    // Add all the Swagger Express Middleware, or just the ones you need.
    // NOTE: Some of these accept optional options (omitted here for brevity)
    app.use(
        middleware.metadata(),
        middleware.CORS(),
        middleware.files(),
        middleware.parseRequest(),
        middleware.validateRequest(),
        middleware.mock()
    );

    app.listen(8000, function() {
        console.log('The PetStore sample is now running at http://localhost:8000');
    });
});

Samples & Walkthroughs

Swagger Express Middleware comes two samples that use the Swagger Pet Store API.

Sample 1

This sample demonstrates the most simplistic usage of Swagger Express Middleware. It simply creates a new Express Application and adds all of the Swagger middleware without changing any options, and without adding any custom middleware.

Sample 2

This sample demonstrates a few more advanced features of Swagger Express Middleware, such as setting a few options, initializing the mock data store, and adding custom middleware logic.
