Swagger Documentation Provider for Laminas API Tools

Introduction

This module provides Laminas API Tools the ability to show API documentation through a Swagger UI.

The Swagger UI is immediately accessible after enabling this module at the URI path /api-tools/swagger.

In addition to providing the HTML UI, this module also plugs into the main Laminas API Tools documentation resource (at the path /api-tools/documentation) in order to allow returning a documentation payload in the application/vnd.swagger+json media type; this resource is what feeds the Swagger UI. You can access this representation by passing the media type application/vnd.swagger+json for the Accept header via the path /api-tools/documentation/:module/:service.

Requirements

Please see the composer.json file.

Installation

Run the following composer command:

$ composer require laminas-api-tools/api-tools-documentation-swagger

Alternately, manually add the following to your composer.json, in the require section:

"require": {
    "laminas-api-tools/api-tools-documentation-swagger": "^1.2"
}

And then run composer update to ensure the module is installed.

Finally, add the module name to your project's config/application.config.php under the modules key:

return [
    /* ... */
    'modules' => [
        /* ... */
        'Laminas\ApiTools\Documentation\Swagger',
    ],
    /* ... */
];

Laminas Events

Listeners

Laminas\ApiTools\Documentation\Swagger\Module

This listener is attached to the MvcEvent::EVENT_RENDER event at priority 100. Its purpose is to conditionally attach a view strategy to the view system in cases where the controller response is a Laminas\ApiTools\Documentation\Swagger\ViewModel view model (likely selected as the content-negotiated view model based off of Accept media types).

Laminas Services

View Models

Laminas\ApiTools\Documentation\Swagger\ViewModel

This view model is responsible for translating the available Laminas\ApiTools\Documentation models into Swagger-specific models, and further casting them to arrays for later rendering as JSON.
