LeanAPI generates a nice UI for your API specifications.
Install using the following command:
npm install -g leanapi
Generate documentation using the following command:
leanapi path/to/your/api/definition.raml
This will generate a new folder called api-docs where all of the neccesary files have been generated. You can deploy this folder to any webserver.
You can specify the ouptput folder by using -o or --output, example:
leanapi -o docs path/to/your/api/definition.raml
You can dynamically serve your API (without generating the API output) by using -s or --serve, example:
leanapi -s path/to/your/api/definition.raml
This will also start watching in your definition path (e.g. path/to/your/api), so when you make a change to any file in that folder the api definition will update automatically and any open browser window will automatically refresh.
You can set the port on which the API server will be listening (default is 9876) by using -p or --port
leanapi -s -p 9090 path/to/your/api/definition.raml
This will make the server listen on port 9090
You can prompt the help info by running:
leanapi -h
# or
leanapi --help
You can check the leanAPI version by running:
leanapi -V
# or
leanapi --version
