sails-hook-blocks

A Sails hook which to generate routes /doc and /doc/{your_micro_app_name} in order to provide Swagger UI support for each Sails Micro-Apps(fka, hooks). Each micro-app will have different Swagger documentation, which is a really good idea for API driven development.

Let's getting started! Just install this plugin and put your Swagger JSON file under the micro-app's root path, and enjoy the documentation.

Requirement

• Swagger 2.x~3.0 in JSON format
• Sails 1.x basement
• Sails hook sails-util-micro-apps installed
• use micro-apps pattern, which means each micro-app has its own swagger definition.

Installation

• Install plugin

sails-hook-swagger-ui is super easy to install.

// because your are using sails micro-app, so you have to install this first.
npm install sails-util-micro-apps
 
npm install sails-hook-swagger-ui

• Setup the swagger json file path

import path from 'path';
import swagger from './swagger.json'; // import or require yor swagge here
 
module.exports = function (sails) {
    var loader = require('sails-util-micro-apps')(sails);
 
    return {
      swagger,  // put swagger here
      configure() {
        loader.configure({
          assets: `${__dirname}/assets`,
          views: `${__dirname}/views`,
          policies: `${__dirname}/api/policies`, // Path to your hook's policies
          config: `${__dirname}/config`, // Path to your hook's config
        });
      },
      initialize(next) {
        loader.inject({
          responses: `${__dirname}/api/responses`,
          models: `${__dirname}/api/models`, // Path to your hook's models
          services: `${__dirname}/api/services`, // Path to your hook's services
          controllers: `${__dirname}/api/controllers`, // Path to your hook's controllers
        }, err => next(err));
      },
    };
};
 

Usage

After you installed the plugin, you can redirect to {you_sails_app_root_path_and_port}/doc/${you_micro_app_folder_name} to see you Swagger documentation.

if you like to have a default /doc documentation, setup the config json to get better flexibility.

Configuration

so you can decided to enable this plugin or not, or change the default entry /doc to load the swagger documentation you want.

module.exports['swagger-ui'] = {
  // To control this sails hook enable or not.
  enable: true,
  // Give a default sails project name(which is the folder name of target hook), or keep it null to set no default one.
  // default: 'sails-app-my-awesome-app'
  default: null,
};
