[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/swagger-api/swagger-js.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/swagger-api/swagger-js)

**Swagger Client** is a JavaScript module that allows you to fetch, resolve, and interact with Swagger/OpenAPI documents.

## New!

**This is the new version of swagger-js, 3.x.** The new version supports Swagger 2.0 as well as OpenAPI 3.

 Want to learn more? Check out our [FAQ](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-js/blob/master/docs/MIGRATION_2_X.md).

For the older version of swagger-js, refer to the [*2.x branch*](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-js/tree/2.x).


## Note:
The npm package is called `swagger-client` and the GitHub repository is `swagger-js`.
We'll be consolidating that soon. Just giving you the heads up. You may see references to both names.

#### API

This lib exposes these functionalities for Swagger 2.0 and OpenAPI 3:

- Static functions for...
  -  HTTP Client
  -  Document Resolver (monolithic & subtree)
  - TryItOut Executor
- A constructor with the methods...
  - HTTP Client, for convenience
  - Document Resolver, which will use `url` or `spec` from the instance
  - TryItOut Executor, bound to the `http` and `spec` instance properties
  - Tags Interface, also bound to the instance

HTTP Client
-----------

`Swagger.http(req)` exposes a [Fetch-like interface](https://github.com/lquixada/cross-fetch) with a twist: allowing `url` in the request object so that it can be passed around and mutated. It extends Fetch to support request and response interceptors and performs response & header serialization. This method could be overridden to change how SwaggerJS performs HTTP requests.

```js
// Fetch-like, but support `url`, `query` and `xxxInterceptor`
const request = {
  url,
  query,
  method,
  body,
  headers,
  requestInterceptor,
  responseInterceptor,
  userFetch
}

Swagger.http(request)
  .then((res) => {
    res.statusCode // status code
    res.statusText // status text, ie: "Not Found"
    res.body       // JSON object or undefined
    res.obj        // same as above, legacy
    res.text       // textual body, or Blob
    res.headers    // header hash
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    err            // instanceof Error
    err.response   // response or null
  })

// Interceptors
Swagger.http({
  requestInterceptor: (req: Request) => Request | Promise<Request>
  responseInterceptor: (res: Response) => Response | Promise<Response>
})

// Custom Fetch
Swagger.http({
  userFetch: (url: String, options: Object) => Promise
})

```

Swagger Specification Resolver
---------------------

`Swagger.resolve({url, spec, http})` resolves `$ref`s (JSON-Refs) with the objects they point to.

```js

Swagger.resolve({url, spec, http}).then((resolved) => {
  resolved.errors // resolution errors, if any
  resolved.spec   // the resolved spec
})
```
> This is done automatically if you use the constructor/methods

TryItOut Executor
-----------------
An HTTP client for OAS operations, maps an operation and values into an HTTP request.

```js
const params = {
  spec,

  operationId, // Either operationId, or you can use pathName + method
  (pathName),
  (method),

  parameters, // _named_ parameters in an object, eg: { petId: 'abc' }
  securities, // _named_ securities, will only be added to the request, if the spec indicates it. eg: {apiKey: 'abc'}
  requestContentType,
  responseContentType,

  (http), // You can also override the HTTP client completely
  (userFetch), // Alternatively you can just override the fetch method (if you want to use request.js or some other HttpAgent)
}

// Creates a request object compatible with HTTP client interface.
// If `pathName` and `method`, then those are used instead of operationId. This is useful if you're using this dynamically, as `pathName` + `method` are guarenteed to be unique.
const res = Swagger.execute({...params})

// You can also generate just the request ( without executing... )
const req = Swagger.buildRequest({...params})
```

Constructor and methods
-----------------------

Resolve the spec and expose some methods that use the resolved spec:

- `Swagger(url, opts): Promise`
- Exposes tags interface (see above)
- Exposes the static functions: `execute`, `http`, `resolve` and some other minor ones
- Exposes `#http`, `#execute` and `#resolve` bound to the instance

```javascript
Swagger('http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json')
  .then( client => {
      client.spec // The resolved spec
      client.originalSpec // In case you need it
      client.errors // Any resolver errors

      // Tags interface
      client.apis.pet.addPet({id: 1, name: "bobby"}).then(...)

      // TryItOut Executor, with the `spec` already provided
      client.execute({operationId: 'addPet', parameters: {id: 1, name: "bobby") }).then(...)
   })

```

Tags Interface
--------------
A client for operations. We're currently using the `apis[tag][operationId]:ExecuteFunction` interface, which can be disabled entirely using `Swagger({disableInterfaces: true})` if you don't need it.

OperationId's are meant to be unique within spec, if they're not we do the following:
- If a tag is absent, we use `default` as the internal tag
- If an operationId is missing, we deduce it from the http method and path, i.e. `${method}${path}`, with non-alphanumeric characters escaped to `_`. See these tests ([1](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-js/blob/7da5755fa18791cd114ecfc9587dcd1b5c58ede1/test/helpers.js#L7), [2](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-js/blob/7da5755fa18791cd114ecfc9587dcd1b5c58ede1/test/helpers.js#L77)) for examples.
- If an operationId is duplicated across all operationIds of the spec, we rename all of them with numbers after the ID to keep them unique. You should not rely on this, as the renaming is non-deterministic. See [this test](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-js/blob/7da5755fa18791cd114ecfc9587dcd1b5c58ede1/test/helpers.js#L127) for an example.

```js
Swagger({ url: "http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json" }).then((client) => {
    client
      .apis
      .pet // tag name == `pet`
      .addPet({ // operationId == `addPet`
        id: 1,
        body: {
          name: "bobby",
          status: "available"
        }
      })
      .then(...)
})
```

If you'd like to use the operationId formatting logic from Swagger-Client 2.x, set the `v2OperationIdCompatibilityMode` option:

```js
Swagger({
  url: "http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json",
  v2OperationIdCompatibilityMode: true
}).then((client) => {
  // do things as usual
})
```

#### OpenAPI 3.0

OpenAPI 3.0 definitions work in a similar way with the tags interface, but you may need to provide additional data in an `options` object for server variables and request bodies, since these items are not actual parameters:

```js
Swagger({...}).then((client) => {
    client
      .apis
      .pet // tag name == `pet`
      .addPet({ // operationId == `addPet`
        id: 1
      }, {
        requestBody: {
          name: "bobby",
          status: "available"
        },
        server: "http://petstore.swagger.io/{apiPrefix}/", // this should exactly match a URL in your `servers`
        serverVariables: {
          apiPrefix: "v2"
        }
      })
      .then(...)
})
```

In Browser
----------

If you need activate CORS requests, just enable it by `withCredentials` property at `http`

```html
<html>
<head>
<script src='//unpkg.com/swagger-client' type='text/javascript'></script> 
<script>

var specUrl = 'http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json'; // data urls are OK too 'data:application/json;base64,abc...'
SwaggerClient.http.withCredentials = true; // this activates CORS, if necessary

var swaggerClient = new SwaggerClient(specUrl)
      .then(function (swaggerClient) {
          return swaggerClient.apis.pet.addPet({id: 1, name: "bobby"}); // chaining promises
      }, function (reason) {
         console.error("failed to load the spec" + reason);
      })
      .then(function(addPetResult) {
         console.log(addPetResult.obj);
         // you may return more promises, if necessary
      }, function (reason) {
          console.error("failed on API call " + reason);
      });
</script>
</head>
<body>
  check console in browser's dev. tools
</body>
</html>

```


Compatibility
-------------

SwaggerJS has some legacy signature _shapes_.

### Execute
##### Response shape
```js
// swagger-js
{
  url,
  method,
  status,
  statusText,
  headers,

  data, // The textual content
  obj   // The body object
}

// New shape
{
  url,
  method,
  status,
  statusText,
  headers, // See note below regarding headers

  text,    // The textual content
  body,    // The body object
}
```

##### Serializing Headers

By default the instance version of `#http` serializes the body and headers.
However, headers pose an issue when there are multiple headers with the same name.
As such we've left the static version of `http` to not perform any serialization.
