GrapeApiary

Auto generates an Apiary Blueprint from the documentation that is created by your Grape API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'grape'
gem 'grape-apiary'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install grape-apiary

In order to use the Rake task that can write your generated documents to the filesystem, add this stanza to your Rakefile:

spec = Gem::Specification.find_by_name 'grape-apiary'
load "#{spec.gem_dir}/lib/grape-apiary/tasks/grape-apiary.rake"

Usage

Add some metadata about your API and then execute the generate method on the GrapeApiary::Blueprint class.

If you have installed the Rake task, per above, you can write your documentation to docs/grape-apiary.md with this command:

API=AwesomeAPI bundle exec rake ga:docs

Configuration

Configure details about your api in an initializers or similar:

GrapeApiary.config do |config|
  # your apiary.io host name
  config.host               = 'http://awesome-api.apiary.io'
  # the name of your api
  config.name               = 'Awesome API'
  # a description for your api
  config.description        = 'The awesome description'
  # the type to use for generated sample id's (`integer` or `uuid`)
  config.example_id_type    = :uuid
  # resources you do not want documented
  config.resource_exclusion = [:admin, :swagger_doc]
  # whether or not examples should include a root element (default: false)
  config.include_root       = true
end

# request headers you want documented
GrapeApiary.config.request_headers = [
  { 'Accept-Charset' => 'utf-8' },
  { 'Connection'     => 'keep-alive' }
]

# response headers you want documented
GrapeApiary.config.response_headers = [
  { 'Content-Length' => '21685' },
  { 'Connection'     => 'keep-alive' }
]

Generation

# supply the class you'd like to document and generate your blueprint
GrapeApiary::Blueprint.new(AwesomeAPI).generate

TODO

• Add support for listing all of a resources attributes at the resource level as a markdown table
• Handle ever changing sample id's (don't want git diff's after every generation)
• Add option to change or remove the sample id field (eg. _id vs id)
• What if someone does not use JSON?!?
• Create sample response for list endpoints (array)
• Add an option to include root in json
