NAME
    Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI - OpenAPI / Swagger plugin for Mojolicious

SYNOPSIS
      use Mojolicious::Lite;

      # Will be moved under "basePath", resulting in "POST /api/echo"
      post "/echo" => sub {

        # Validate input request or return an error document
        my $c = shift->openapi->valid_input or return;

        # Generate some data
        my $data = {body => $c->validation->param("body")};

        # Validate the output response and render it to the user agent
        # using a custom "openapi" handler.
        $c->render(openapi => $data);
      }, "echo";

      # Load specification and start web server
      plugin OpenAPI => {url => "data://main/api.json"};
      app->start;

    See Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI::Guides::Tutorial for a tutorial on how
    to write a "full" app with application class and controllers.

DESCRIPTION
    Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI is Mojolicious::Plugin that add routes and
    input/output validation to your Mojolicious application based on a
    OpenAPI (Swagger) specification.

    Have a look at the "SEE ALSO" for references to more documentation, or
    jump right to the tutorial.

    Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI will replace Mojolicious::Plugin::Swagger2.

HELPERS
  openapi.spec
      $hash = $c->openapi->spec($json_pointer)
      $hash = $c->openapi->spec("/info/title")
      $hash = $c->openapi->spec;

    Returns the OpenAPI specification. A JSON Pointer can be used to extract
    a given section of the specification. The default value of $json_pointer
    will be relative to the current operation. Example:

      {
        "paths": {
          "/pets": {
            "get": {
              // This datastructure is returned by default
            }
          }
        }
      }

  openapi.render_spec
      $c = $c->openapi->render_spec;

    Used to render the specification as either "html" or "json". Set the
    "stash" in Mojolicious variable "format" to change the format to render.

    This helper is called by default, when accessing the "basePath"
    resource.

    The "html" rendering needs improvement. Any help or feedback is much
    appreciated.

  openapi.validate
      @errors = $c->openapi->validate;

    Used to validate a request. @errors holds a list of
    JSON::Validator::Error objects or empty list on valid input.

    Note that this helper is only for customization. You probably want
    "openapi.valid_input" in most cases.

    Validated input parameters will be copied to
    "Mojolicious::Controller/validation", which again can be extracted by
    the "name" in the parameters list from the spec. Example:

      # specification:
      "parameters": [{"in": "body", "name": "whatever", "schema": {"type": "object"}}],

      # controller
      my $body = $c->validation->param("whatever");

  openapi.valid_input
      $c = $c->openapi->valid_input;

    Returns the Mojolicious::Controller object if the input is valid or
    automatically render an error document if not and return false. See
    "SYNOPSIS" for example usage.

  reply.openapi
    This helper is discourage and might go away. Have a look at "RENDERER"
    instead.

RENDERER
    This plugin register a new handler called "openapi". The special thing
    about this handler is that it will validate the data before sending it
    back to the user agent. Examples:

      $c->render(json => {foo => 123});    # without validation
      $c->render(openapi => {foo => 123}); # with validation

    This handler will also use "renderer" to format the output data. The
    code below shows the default "renderer" which generates JSON data:

      $app->plugin(
        OpenAPI => {
          renderer => sub {
            my ($c, $data) = @_;
            return Mojo::JSON::encode_json($data);
          }
        }
      );

METHODS
  register
      $self->register($app, \%config);

    Loads the OpenAPI specification, validates it and add routes to $app. It
    will also set up "HELPERS" and adds a before_render hook for
    auto-rendering of error documents.

    %config can have:

    * allow_invalid_ref

      The OpenAPI specification does not allow "$ref" at every level, but
      setting this flag to a true value will ignore the $ref check.

      Note that setting this attribute is discourage.

    * coerce

      See "coerce" in JSON::Validator for possible values that "coerce" can
      take.

      Default: 1

    * log_level

      "log_level" is used when logging invalid request/response error
      messages.

      Default: "warn".

    * renderer

      See "RENDERER".

    * route

      "route" can be specified in case you want to have a protected API.
      Example:

        $app->plugin(OpenAPI => {
          route => $app->routes->under("/api")->to("user#auth"),
          url   => $app->home->rel_file("cool.api"),
        });

    * spec_route_name

      Name of the route that handles the "basePath" part of the
      specification and serves the specification. Defaults to "x-mojo-name"
      in the specification at the top level.

    * url

      See "schema" in JSON::Validator for the different "url" formats that
      is accepted.

      "spec" is an alias for "url", which might make more sense if your
      specification is written in perl, instead of JSON or YAML.

    * version_from_class

      Can be used to overriden "/info/version" in the API specification,
      from the return value from the "VERSION()" method in
      "version_from_class".

      Defaults to the current $app.
