OpenAPI Toolbox is a handy package with all important documentation-related features we are using in some of @blumilksoftware projects.
Install package via Composer and publish configuration file:
composer require blumilksoftware/openapi-toolbox
php artisan vendor:publish
If you need it only for internal development (no documentation serving) you can install it with a development flag:
composer require blumilksoftware/openapi-toolbox --dev
php artisan vendor:publish
Configuration file should be published into your application after running php artisan vendor:publish command. It should look like below:
return [
"format" => Format::YmlToJson,
"specification" => [
"path" => resource_path("openapi"),
"index" => "openapi.yml",
"allow_multiple_files" => false,
],
"cache" => [
"enabled" => false,
"documentation_path" => storage_path("framework/cache/openapi"),
"checksum_path" => storage_path("framework/cache/openapi.md5"),
],
"ui" => [
"enabled" => false,
"single_source" => false,
"title" => "Documentation",
"routing" => [
"prefix" => "documentation",
"name" => "documentation",
"middlewares" => [],
],
"provider" => UIProvider::Elements,
"providers" => [
"elements" => [
"script" => [

];With configuration openapi_toolbox.ui.enabled = true a documentation UI will be built from configurable path and served on configurable route. Currently, the Stoplight Elements and Swagger UI are only available UI base components configurable by openapi_toolbox.ui.provider setting.
By default, it should be available under GET /documentation.
By changing configuration variable openapi_toolbox.ui.single_source to true, application will serve already built single source file for GUI.
Serving a documentation itself can be tricky, especially if specification is built from multiple nested files. Here OpenAPI specification files will be built accordingly to configuration and by default the result should be available under GET /documentation/raw.
OpenAPI specification files will be built accordingly to configuration and validated on demand by running an Artisan command:
php artisan openapi:validate
Good example of usage would be adding this command to CI pipeline for opened pull requests.
Based on kirschbaum-development/laravel-openapi-validator, special trait added to selected PHPUnit test cases enables validation against application's OpenAPI specification:
use \Blumilk\OpenApiToolbox\OpenApiCompatibility\OpenApiCompatibility;
Every time any HTTP call to application would be performed during tests, additional validation will be performed and structure of requests and responses will be checked against OpenAPI specification. For special cases (e.g. testing invalid requests) this validation can be disabled by using $this->withoutRequestValidation() and $this->withoutResponseValidation().
With configuration openapi_toolbox.cache.enabled = true internal builders will use cached OpenAPI specifications.
