SYNOPSIS

        package MyApp;
    
        use Dancer;
        use Dancer::Plugin::Swagger;

DESCRIPTION

    This plugin provides tools to create and access a Swagger
    <http://swagger.io/> specification file for a Dancer REST web service.

    Overview of Dancer::Plugin::Swagger's features:

    Can create a /swagger.json REST specification file.

    Can auto-discover routes and add them to the swagger file.

    Can provide a Swagger UI version of the swagger documentation.

CONFIGURATION

        plugins:
            Swagger:
               main_api_module: MyApp
               show_ui: 1
               ui_url: /doc
               ui_dir: /path/to/files
               auto_discover_skip:
                - /swagger.json
                - qr#^/doc/#

 main_api_module

    If not provided explicitly, the Swagger document's title and version
    will be set to the abstract and version of this module.

    Defaults to the first module to import Dancer::Plugin::Swagger.

 show_ui

    If true, a route will be created for the Swagger UI (see
    http://swagger.io/swagger-ui/).

    Defaults to true.

 ui_url

    Path of the swagger ui route. Will also be the prefix for all the
    CSS/JS dependencies of the page.

    Defaults to /doc.

 ui_dir

    Filesystem path to the directory holding the assets for the Swagger UI
    page.

    Defaults to a copy of the Swagger UI code bundled with the
    Dancer::Plugin::Swagger distribution.

 auto_discover_skip

    List of urls that should not be added to the Swagger document by
    swagger_auto_discover. If an url begins with qr, it will be compiled as
    a regular expression.

    Defauls to /swagger.json and, if show_ui is true, all the urls under
    ui_url.

 validate_response

    If set to true, calls to swagger_response will verify if a schema is
    defined for the response, and if so validate against it.
    JSON::Schema::AsType is used for the validation (and this required if
    this option is used).

    Defaults to false.

 strict_validation

    If set to true, dies if a call to swagger_response doesn't find a
    schema for its response.

    Defaults to false.

PLUGIN KEYWORDS

 swagger_path \%args, $route

        swagger_path {
            description => 'Returns info about a judge',
        },
        get '/judge/:judge_name' => sub {
            ...;
        };

    Registers a route as a swagger path item in the swagger document.

  Supported arguments

    method

      The HTTP method (GET, POST, etc) for the path item.

      Defaults to the route's method.

    path

      The url for the path item.

      Defaults to the route's path.

    description

      The path item's description.

    parameters

      List of parameters for the path item. Must be an arrayref.

      Route parameters are automatically populated. E.g.,

          swagger_path
          get '/judge/:judge_name' => { ... };

      is equivalent to

          swagger_path {
              parameters => [
                  { name => 'judge_name', in => 'path', required => 1, type => 'string' },
              ] 
          },
          get '/judge/:judge_name' => { ... };

    responses

      Possible responses from the path. Must be a hashref.

          swagger_path {
              responses => {
                  default => { description => 'The judge information' }
              },
          },
          get '/judge/:judge_name' => { ... };

      If the key example is given (instead of examples as defined by the
      Swagger specs), and the serializer used by the application is
      Dancer::Serializer::JSON or Dancer::Serializer::YAML, the example
      will be expanded to have the right content-type key.

          swagger_path {
              responses => {
                  default => { example => { fullname => 'Mary Ann Murphy' } }
              },
          },
          get '/judge/:judge_name' => { ... };
      
          # equivalent to
      
          swagger_path {
              responses => {
                  default => { examples => { 'application/json' => { fullname => 'Mary Ann Murphy' } } }
              },
          },
          get '/judge/:judge_name' => { ... };

      The special key template will not appear in the Swagger doc, but will
      be used by the swagger_template plugin keyword.

 swagger_template $code, $args

        swagger_path {
            responses => {
                404 => { template => sub { +{ error => "judge '$_[0]' not found" } }  
            },
        },
        get '/judge/:judge_name' => {  
            my $name = param('judge_name');
            return swagger_template 404, $name unless in_db($name);
            ...;
        };

    Calls the template for the $code response, passing it $args. If $code
    is numerical, also set the response's status to that value.

 swagger_auto_discover skip => \@list

    Populates the Swagger document with information of all the routes of
    the application.

    Accepts an optional skip parameter that takes an arrayref of routes
    that shouldn't be added to the Swagger document. The routes can be
    specified as-is, or via regular expressions. If no skip list is given,
    defaults to the c<auto_discover_skip> configuration value.

        swagger_auto_discover skip => [ '/swagger.json', qr#^/doc/# ];

    The information of a route won't be altered if it's already present in
    the document.

    If a route has path parameters, they will be automatically added as
    such in the parameters section.

    Routes defined as regexes are skipped, as there is no clean way to
    automatically make them look nice.

            # will be picked up
        get '/user' => ...;
    
            # ditto, as '/user/{user_id}'
        get '/user/:user_id => ...;
    
            # won't be picked up
        get qr#/user/(\d+)# => ...;

    Note that routes defined after swagger_auto_discover has been called
    won't be added to the Swagger document. Typically, you'll want
    swagger_auto_discover to be called at the very end of your module.
    Alternatively, swagger_auto_discover can be called more than once
    safely -- which can be useful if an application creates routes
    dynamically.

 swagger_definition $name => $definition, ...

    Adds a schema (or more) to the definition section of the Swagger
    document.

        swagger_definition 'Judge' => {
            type => 'object',
            required => [ 'fullname' ],
            properties => {
                fullname => { type => 'string' },
                seasons => { type => 'array', items => { type => 'integer' } },
            }
        };
