The `swagger` module provides tools for designing and building Swagger-compliant APIs entirely in Node.js. It integrates with popular Node.js servers, including Express, Hapi, Restify, and Sails, as well as any Connect-based middleware. With `swagger`, you can specify, build, and test your API from the very beginning, on your laptop. It allows you to change and iterate your design without rewriting the logic of your implementation.

Remember, one great thing about this approach is that all of the Swagger validation logic is handled for you, and all of the routing logic is managed through the Swagger configuration. You don't have to code (or recode!) any of that stuff yourself.



## Your swagger API in five steps



### 1. Install the swagger module



Install using npm. For complete instructions, see the [install](./docs/install.md) page.



```bash

npm install -g swagger-node

```



### 2. Create a new swagger project



Use the [CLI](./docs/cli.md) to create and manage projects. Learn more on the [quick start](./docs/quick-start.md) page.



```bash

swagger project create hello-world

```



### 3. Design your API in the Swagger Editor



The interactive, browser-based [Swagger Editor](http://editor.swagger.io/) is built in. It provides Swagger 2.0 validation and endpoint routing, generates docs on the fly, and consumes easy-to-read YAML.



```bash

swagger project edit

```

### 4. Write controller code in Node.js



Code your API's business logic in Node.js.



```js

function hello(req, res) {

    var name = req.swagger.params.name.value || 'stranger';

    var hello = util.format('Hello, %s!', name);

    res.json({ "message": hello });

}

```



If you look at the Swagger file in the editor (shown in step 3 above), the `x-swagger-router-controller` element (line 17 in the editor screenshot) specifies the name of the controller file associated with the `/hello` path. For example:



```yaml

    paths:

        /hello:

            x-swagger-router-controller: hello_world

```



Controller source code is always placed in `./api/controllers`. So, the controller source file for this project is `./api/controllers/hello_world.js`.



The `operationId` element specifies which controller function to call. In this case (line 19), it is a function called `hello`. Learn [more](./docs/controllers.md).



### 5. Run the server



Run the project server.



```bash

swagger project start

```



## Now, call the API



It just works!



```bash

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:10010/hello?name=Scott

{ "message": "Hello, Scott!" }

```



## Installing the swagger module



See the [Installing swagger](./docs/install.md) for details.



## Using the swagger module



Go to the [swagger module doc page](./docs/README.md). It includes all the information you need to get started.



## About this project



This initiative grew out of Apigee-127, an API design-first development framework using Swagger.

Apigee donated the code to create the swagger-node project in 2015.
