+
+Apipie-rails is a DSL and Rails engine for documenting your RESTful API.
+Instead of traditional use of `#comments`, Apipie lets you describe the
+code, through the code. This brings advantages like:
+
+-   No need to learn yet another syntax, you already know Ruby, right?
+-   Possibility of reusing the docs for other purposes (such as
+    validation)
+-   Easier to extend and maintain (no string parsing involved)
+-   Possibility of reusing other sources for documentation purposes
+    (such as routes etc.)
+
+The documentation is available from within your app (by default under
+the `/apipie` path.) In development mode, you can see the changes as you
+go. It\'s markup language agnostic, and even provides an API for reusing
+the documentation data in JSON.
+
+## Getting started
+
+The easiest way to get Apipie up and running with your app is:
+
+``` sh
+echo "gem 'apipie-rails'" >> Gemfile
+bundle install
+rails g apipie:install
+```
+
+Now you can start documenting your resources and actions (see [DSL
+Reference](#dsl-reference) for more info):
+
+``` ruby
+api :GET, '/users/:id'
+param :id, :number, desc: 'id of the requested user'
+def show
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+Run your application and see the result at
+`http://localhost:3000/apipie`. For further processing, you can use
+`http://localhost:3000/apipie.json`.
+
+For a more comprehensive getting started guide, see [this
+demo](https://github.com/Apipie/apipie-demo), which includes features
+such as generating documentation from tests, recording examples etc.

+
+## Resource Description
+
+You can describe a resource on the controller level. The description is
+introduced by calling `resource_description do ... end`.
+
+Inheritance is supported, so you can specify common params for group of
+controllers in their parent class.
+
+The following keywords are available (all are optional):
+
+`resource_id`
+
+How the resource will be referenced in Apipie (paths, `see` command etc.); by default `controller_name.downcase` is used.
+
+`name`
+
+Human readable name of resource. By default `class.name.humanize` is
+used.
+
+  -   Can be specified as a proc, which will receive the controller
+      class as an argument.
+  -   Can be a symbol, which will be sent to the controller class to
+      get the name.
+  -   Can be a string, which will be used as is.
+
+`short` (also `short_description`)
+
+Short description of the resource (it\'s shown on both the list of resources, and resource details)
+
+`desc` (also description and full_description)
+
+Full description of the resource (shown only in resource details)
+
+`param`
+
+Common params for all methods defined in controller/child controllers.
+
+`returns`
+
+Common responses for all methods defined in controller/child controllers.
+
+`api_base_url`
+
+What URL is the resource available under.
+
+`api_versions` (also api_version)
+
+What versions does the controller define the resource. (See [Versioning](#versioning) for details.)
+
+`formats`
+
+Request / response formats.
+
+`error`
+
+Describe every possible error that can happen when calling all
+methods defined in controller. HTTP response code and description
+can be provided.
+
+`app_info`
+
+In case of versioning, this sets app info description on a per_version basis.
+
+`meta`
+
+Hash or array with custom metadata.
+
+`deprecated`
+
+Boolean value indicating if the resource is marked as deprecated. (Default `false`)
+
+### Example:
+
+``` ruby
+resource_description do
+  short 'Site members'
+  formats ['json']
+  param :id, Integer, :desc => "User ID", :required => false
+  param :resource_param, Hash, :desc => 'Param description for all methods' do
+    param :ausername, String, :desc => "Username for login", :required => true
+    param :apassword, String, :desc => "Password for login", :required => true
+  end
+  api_version "development"
+  error 404, "Missing"
+  error 500, "Server crashed for some <%= reason %>", :meta => {:anything => "you can think of"}
+  error :unprocessable_entity, "Could not save the entity."
+  returns :code => 403 do
+     property :reason, String, :desc => "Why this was forbidden"
+  end
+  meta :author => {:name => 'John', :surname => 'Doe'}
+  deprecated false
+  description <<-EOS
+    == Long description
+     Example resource for rest api documentation
+     These can now be accessed in <tt>shared/header</tt> with:
+       Headline: <%= headline %>
+       First name: <%= person.first_name %>
+
+     If you need to find out whether a certain local variable has been
+     assigned a value in a particular render call, you need to use the
+     following pattern:
+
+     <% if local_assigns.has_key? :headline %>
+        Headline: <%= headline %>
+     <% end %>
+
+    Testing using <tt>defined? headline</tt> will not work. This is an
+    implementation restriction.
+
+    === Template caching
+
+    By default, Rails will compile each template to a method in order
+    to render it. When you alter a template, Rails will check the
+    file's modification time and recompile it in development mode.
+  EOS
+end
+```
+
+## Method Description
+
+Then describe methods available to your API.
+
+`api`
+
+Describe how this method is exposed, and provide a short
+description. The first parameter is HTTP method (one of
+:GET/:POST/:PUT/:DELETE). The second parameter is the relative URL
+path which is mapped to this method. The last parameter is the
+methods short description. You can use this +api+ method more than
+once per method. It could be useful when there are more routes
+mapped to it.
+
+When providing just one argument (description), or no argument at
+all, the paths will be loaded from the routes.rb file.
+
+`api!`
+
+Provide a short description and additional option. The last
+parameter is the methods short description. The paths will be loaded
+from routes.rb file. See [Rails Routes
+Integration](#rails-routes-integration) for more details.
+
+`api_versions` (also api_version)
+
+What version(s) does the action belong to. (See
+[Versioning](#versioning) for details.)
+
+`param`
+
+Look at [Parameter description](#parameter-description) section for
+details.
+
+`returns`
+
+Look at [Response description](#response-description) section for
+details.
+
+`tags`
+
+Adds tags for grouping operations together in Swagger outputs. See
+[swagger](#Swagger) for more details. You can also provide tags in
+the [Resource Description](#resource-description) block so that they
+are automatically prepended to all action tags in the controller.
+
+`formats`
+
+Method level request / response formats.
+
+`error`
+
+Describe each possible error that can happen while calling this
+    method. HTTP response code and description can be provided.
+
+`description`
+
+Full method description, which will be converted into HTML by the
+    chosen markup language processor.
+
+`example`
+
+Provide an example of the server response; whole communication or
+    response type. It will be formatted as code.
+
+`see`
+
+Provide reference to another method, this has to be a string with
+    controller_name#method_name.
+
+`meta`
+
+Hash or array with custom metadata.
+
+`show`
+
+Resource is hidden from documentation when set to false (true by
+    default)
+
+### Example:
+
+``` ruby
+# The simplest case: just load the paths from routes.rb
+api!
+def index
+end
+
+# More complex example
+api :GET, "/users/:id", "Show user profile"
+show false
+error :code => 401, :desc => "Unauthorized"
+error :code => 404, :desc => "Not Found", :meta => {:anything => "you can think of"}
+param :session, String, :desc => "user is logged in", :required => true
+param :regexp_param, /^[0-9]* years/, :desc => "regexp param"
+param :array_param, [100, "one", "two", 1, 2], :desc => "array validator"
+param :boolean_param, [true, false], :desc => "array validator with boolean"
+param :proc_param, lambda { |val|
+  val == "param value" ? true : "The only good value is 'param value'."
+}, :desc => "proc validator"
+param :param_with_metadata, String, :desc => "", :meta => [:your, :custom, :metadata]
+returns :code => 200, :desc => "a successful response" do
+   property :value1, String, :desc => "A string value"
+   property :value2, Integer, :desc => "An integer value"
+   property :value3, Hash, :desc => "An object" do
+     property :enum1, ['v1', 'v2'], :desc => "One of 2 possible string values"
+   end
+end
+tags %w[profiles logins]
+tags 'more', 'related', 'resources'
+description "method description"
+formats ['json', 'jsonp', 'xml']
+meta :message => "Some very important info"
+example " 'user': {...} "
+see "users#showme", "link description"
+see :link => "users#update", :desc => "another link description"
+def show
+  #...
+end
+```
+
+## Parameter Description
+
+Use `param` to describe every possible parameter. You can use the Hash
+validator in conjunction with a block given to the param method to
+describe nested parameters.
+
+`name`
+
+The first argument is the parameter name as a symbol.
+
+`validator`
+
+Second parameter is the parameter validator, choose one from section
+    [Validators](#validators)
+
+`desc`
+
+Parameter description.
+
+`required`
+
+Set this true/false to make it required/optional. Default is
+    optional
+
+`example`
+
+Provide the example for this parameter.
+
+`allow_nil`
+
+Setting this to true means that `nil` can be passed.
+
+`allow_blank`
+
+Like `allow_nil`, but for blank values. `false`, `""`, `' '`, `nil`,
+    `[]`, and `{}` are all blank.
+
+`as`
+
+Used by the processing functionality to change the name of a key params.
+
+`meta`
+
+Hash or array with custom metadata.
+
+`show`
+
+Parameter is hidden from documentation when set to false (true by default)
+
+`missing_message`
+
+Specify the message to be returned if the parameter is missing as a
+string or Proc. Defaults to `Missing parameter #{name}` if not
+specified.
+
+`only_in`
+
+This can be set to `:request` or `:response`. Setting to `:response`
+causes the param to be ignored when used as part of a request
+description. Setting to `:request` causes this param to be ignored
+when used as part of a response description. If `only_in` is not
+specified, the param definition is used for both requests and
+responses. (Note that the keyword `property` is similar to `param`,
+but it has a `:only_in => :response` default).
+
+### Example:
+
+``` ruby
+param :user, Hash, :desc => "User info" do
+  param :username, String, :desc => "Username for login", :required => true, :example => 'John'
+  param :password, String, :desc => "Password for login", :required => true, :example => '1234567'
+  param :membership, ["standard","premium"], :desc => "User membership"
+  param :admin_override, String, :desc => "Not shown in documentation", :show => false
+  param :ip_address, String, :desc => "IP address", :required => true, :missing_message => lambda { I18n.t("ip_address.required") }
+end
+def create
+  #...
+end
+```
+
+`deprecated`
+
+Indicates if the parameter is marked as deprecated.
+
+### Example
+
+``` ruby
+param :pet_name, String, desc: "Name of pet", deprecated: true
+param :pet_name, String, desc: "Name of pet", deprecated: 'Some deprecation info'
+param :pet_name, String, desc: "Name of pet", deprecated: { in: "2.3", info: "Something", sunset: "3.0" }
+def create
+  #...
+end
+```
+
+## DRY with param_group
+
+Often, params occur together in more actions. Typically, most of the
+params for `create` and `update` actions are shared between them.
+
+These params can be extracted with `def_param_group` and `param_group`
+keywords.
+
+The definition is looked up in the scope of the controller. If the group
+is defined in a different controller, it might be referenced by
+specifying the second argument.
+
+### Example:
+
+``` ruby
+# v1/users_controller.rb
+def_param_group :address do
+  param :street, String
+  param :number, Integer
+  param :zip, String
+end
+
+def_param_group :user do
+  param :user, Hash do
+    param :name, String, "Name of the user"
+    param_group :address
+  end
+end
+
+api :POST, "/users", "Create a user"
+param_group :user
+def create
+  # ...
+end
+
+api :PUT, "/users/:id", "Update a user"
+param_group :user
+def update
+  # ...
+end
+
+# v2/users_controller.rb
+api :POST, "/users", "Create a user"
+param_group :user, V1::UsersController
+def create
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+## Action Aware params
+
+In CRUD operations, this pattern occurs quite often - params that need
+to be set are:
+
+-   for create action: `required => true` and `allow_nil => false`
+-   for update action: `required => false` and `allow_nil => false`
+
+This makes it hard to share the param definitions across these actions.
+Therefore, you can make the description a bit smarter by setting
+`:action_aware => true`.
+
+You can specify explicitly how the param group should be evaluated with
+`:as` option (either :create or :update)
+
+### Example
+
+``` ruby
+def_param_group :user do
+  param :user, Hash, :action_aware => true do
+    param :name, String, :required => true
+    param :description, String
+  end
+end
+
+api :POST, "/users", "Create a user"
+param_group :user
+def create
+  # ...
+end
+
+api :PUT, "/users/admin", "Create an admin"
+param_group :user, :as => :create
+def create_admin
+  # ...
+end
+
+api :PUT, "/users/:id", "Update a user"
+param_group :user
+def update
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+In this case, `user[name]` will be not be allowed nil for all actions
+and required only for `create` and `create_admin`. Params with
+`allow_nil` set explicitly don\'t have this value changed.
+
+Action awareness is inherited from ancestors (in terms of nested
+params).
+
+## Response Description
+
+The response from an API call can be documented by adding a `returns`
+statement to the method description. This is especially useful when
+using Apipie to auto-generate a machine-readable Swagger definition of
+your API (see the [swagger](#Swagger) section for more details).
+
+A `returns` statement has several possible formats:
+
+``` ruby
+# format #1:  reference to a param-group
+returns <param-group-name> [, :code => <number>|<http-response-code-symbol>] [, :desc => <human-readable description>]
+
+# format #2:  inline response definition
+returns :code => <number>|<http-response-code-symbol> [, :desc => <human-readable description>] do
+    # property ...
+    # property ...
+    # param_group ...
+end
+
+# format #3:  describing an array-of-objects response
+returns :array_of => <param-group-name> [, :code => <number>|<http-response-code-symbol>] [, :desc => <human-readable description>]
+```
+
+If the `:code` argument is omitted, `200` is used.
+
+### Example
+
+``` ruby
+# ------------------------------------------------
+# Example of format #1 (reference to param-group):
+# ------------------------------------------------
+# the param_group :pet is defined here to describe the output returned by the method below.
+def_param_group :pet do
+  property :pet_name, String, :desc => "Name of pet"
+  property :animal_type, ['dog','cat','iguana','kangaroo'], :desc => "Type of pet"
+end
+
+api :GET, "/pets/:id", "Get a pet record"
+returns :pet, :desc => "The pet"
+def show_detailed
+  render JSON({:pet_name => "Skippie", :animal_type => "kangaroo"})
+end
+
+# ------------------------------------------------
+# Example of format #2 (inline):
+# ------------------------------------------------
+api :GET, "/pets/:id/with-extra-details", "Get a detailed pet record"
+returns :code => 200, :desc => "Detailed info about the pet" do
+  param_group :pet
+  property :num_legs, Integer, :desc => "How many legs the pet has"
+end
+def show
+  render JSON({:pet_name => "Barkie", :animal_type => "iguana", :legs => 4})
+end
+
+# ------------------------------------------------
+# Example of format #3 (array response):
+# ------------------------------------------------
+api :GET, "/pets", "Get all pet records"
+returns :array_of => :pet, :code => 200, :desc => "All pets"
+def index
+  render JSON([ {:pet_name => "Skippie", :animal_type => "kangaroo"},
+                {:pet_name => "Woofie", :animal_type => "cat"} ])
+end
+```
+
+Note the use of the `property` keyword rather than `param`. This is the
+preferred mechanism for documenting response-only fields.
+
+#### Specify response headers
+
+We can specify the response headers using the `header` keyword within the `returns` block.
+
+##### Example
+```ruby
+api :GET, "/pets/:id/with-extra-details", "Get a detailed pet record"
+returns code: 200, desc: "Detailed info about the pet" do
+  param_group :pet
+  property :num_legs, Integer, :desc => "How many legs the pet has"
+  header 'Link', String, 'Relative links'
+  header 'Current-Page', Integer, 'The current page', required: true
+end
+
+def show
+  render JSON({ :pet_name => "Barkie", :animal_type => "iguana", :legs => 4 })
+end
+```
+
+#### The Property keyword
+
+`property` is very similar to `param` with the following differences:
+
+-   a `property` is `:only_in => :response` by default
+-   a `property` is `:required => :true` by default
+-   a `property` can be an `:array_of` objects
+
+##### Example
+
+``` ruby
+property :example, :array_of => Hash do
+  property :number1, Integer
+  property :number2, Integer
+end
+```
+
+#### Describing multiple return codes
+
+To describe multiple possible return codes, the `:returns` keyword can
+be repeated as many times as necessary (once for each return code). Each
+one of the `:returns` entries can specify a different response format.
+
+##### Example
+
+``` ruby
+api :GET, "/pets/:id/extra_info", "Get extra information about a pet"
+  returns :desc => "Found a pet" do
+    param_group :pet
+    property 'pet_history', Hash do
+      param_group :pet_history
+    end
+  end
+  returns :code => :unprocessable_entity, :desc => "Fleas were discovered on the pet" do
+    param_group :pet
+    property :num_fleas, Integer, :desc => "Number of fleas on this pet"
+  end
+  def show_extra_info
+    # ... implementation here
+  end
+```
+
+#### Reusing a param_group to describe inputs and outputs
+
+In many cases (such as CRUD implementations), the output from certain
+API calls is very similar - but not identical - to the inputs of the
+same or other API calls.
+
+If you already have a `:param_group` that defines the input to a
+`create` or `update routine, it would be quite
+frustrating to have to define a completely separate `:param_group` to
+describe the output of the `show` routine.
+
+To address such situations, it is possible to define a single
+`:param_group` which combines `param` and `property` statements (as well
+as `:only_in => :request` / `:only_in => :response`) to differentiate
+between fields that are only expected in the request, only included in
+the response, or common to both.
+
+This is somewhat analogous to the way [Action Aware
+params](#action-aware-params) work.
+
+##### Example
+
+``` ruby
+def_param_group :user_record
+    param :name, String                                         # this is commong to both the request and the response
+    param :force_update, [true, false], :only_in => :request    # this does not show up in responses
+    property :last_login, String                                # this shows up only in the response
+end
+
+api :POST, "/users", "Create a user"
+param_group :user_record  # the :last_login field is not expected here, but :force_update is
+def create
+ # ...
+end
+
+api :GET, "/users", "Create a user"
+returns :array_of => :user_record  # the :last_login field will be included in the response, but :force_update will not

+
+#### Embedded response descriptions
+
+If the code creating JSON responses is encapsulated within dedicated
+classes, it can be more convenient to place the response descriptions
+outside of the controller and embed them within the response generator.
+
+To support such use cases, Apipie allows any class to provide a
+`describe_own_properties` class method which returns a
+description of the properties such a class would expose. It is then
+possible to specify that class in the `returns` statement
+instead of a `param_group`.
+
+The `describe_own_properties` method is expected to return
+an array of `Apipie::prop` objects, each one describing a
+single property.
+
+##### Example
+
+``` ruby
+class Pet
+  # this method is automatically called by Apipie when Pet is specified as the returned object type
+  def self.describe_own_properties
+    [
+        Apipie::prop(:pet_name, 'string', {:description => 'Name of pet', :required => false}),
+        Apipie::prop(:animal_type, 'string', {:description => 'Type of pet', :values => ["dog", "cat", "iguana", "kangaroo"]}),
+        Apipie::additional_properties(false)  # this indicates that :pet_name and :animal_type are the only properties in the response
+    ]
+  end
+
+  # this method w
+  def json
+    JSON({:pet_name => @name, :animal_type => @type })
+  end
+end
+
+
+class PetsController
+    api :GET, "/index", "Get all pets"
+    returns :array_of => Pet  # Pet is a 'self-describing-class'
+    def index
+     # ...
+    end
+end
+```
+
+A use case where this is very useful is when JSON generation is done
+using a reflection mechanism or some other sort of declarative
+mechanism.
+
+The `Apipie::prop` function expects the following inputs:
+
+``` ruby
+Apipie::prop(<property-name>, <property-type>, <options-hash> [, <array of sub-properties>])
+
+# property-name should be a symbol
+#
+# property-type can be any of the following strings:
+#   "integer": maps to a swagger "integer" with an "int32" format
+#   "long": maps to a swagger "integer" with an "int64" format
+#   "number": maps to a swagger "number"(no format specifier)
+#   "float": maps to a swagger "number" with a "float" format
+#   "double": maps to a swagger "number" with a "double" format
+#   "string": maps to a swagger "string" (no format specifier)
+#   "byte": maps to a swagger "string" with a "byte" format
+#   "binary": maps to a swagger "string" with a "binary" format
+#   "boolean": maps to a swagger "boolean" (no format specifier)
+#   "date": maps to a swagger "string" with a "date" format
+#   "dateTime": maps to a swagger "string" with a "date-time" format
+#   "password": maps to a swagger "string" with a "password" format
+#   "object": the property has sub-properties. include <array of sub-properties> in the call.
+# (see https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/2.0.md#data-types for more information
+# about the mapped swagger types)
+#
+# options-hash can include any of the options fields allowed in a :returns statement.
+# additionally, it can include the ':is_array => true', in which case the property is understood to be
+# an array of the described type.
+```
+
+To describe an embedded object:
+
+``` ruby
+#
+# PetWithMeasurements is a self-describing class with an embedded object
+#
+class PetWithMeasurements
+  def self.describe_own_properties
+    [
+        Apipie::prop(:pet_name, 'string', {:description => 'Name of pet', :required => false}),
+        Apipie::prop('animal_type', 'string', {:description => 'Type of pet', :values => ["dog", "cat", "iguana", "kangaroo"]}),
+        Apipie::prop(:pet_measurements, 'object', {}, [
+            Apipie::prop(:weight, 'number', {:description => "Weight in pounds" }),
+            Apipie::prop(:height, 'number', {:description => "Height in inches" }),
+            Apipie::prop(:num_legs, 'number', {:description => "Number of legs", :required => false }),
+            Apipie::additional_properties(false)
+        ])
+    ]
+  end
+end
+
+#
+# PetWithManyMeasurements is a self-describing class with an embedded array of objects
+#
+class PetWithManyMeasurements
+  def self.describe_own_properties
+    [
+        Apipie::prop(:pet_name, 'string', {:description => 'Name of pet', :required => false}),
+        Apipie::prop(:many_pet_measurements, 'object', {is_array: true}, [
+            Apipie::prop(:weight, 'number', {:description => "Weight in pounds" }),
+            Apipie::prop(:height, 'number', {:description => "Height in inches" }),
+        ])
+    ]
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Concerns
+
+Sometimes, the actions are not defined in the controller class directly
+but included from a module instead. You can load the Apipie DSL into the
+module by extending it with `Apipie::DSL::Concern`.
+
+The module can be used in more controllers. Therefore there is a way to
+substitute parts of the documentation in the module with controller
+specific values. These substitutions can be stated explicitly with
+`apipie_concern_subst(:key => "value")` (needs to be called before the
+module is included to take effect). The substitutions are performed in
+the paths and descriptions of APIs and names and descriptions of params.
+
+There are some default substitutions available:
+
+`:controller_path`
+
+value of `controller.controller_path`, e.g. `api/users` for
+    `Api::UsersController`. Only if not using the `api!` keyword.
+
+`:resource_id`
+
+Apipie identifier of the resource, e.g. `users` for
+    `Api::UsersController` or set by `resource_id`
+
+### Example
+
+``` ruby
+# users_module.rb
+module UsersModule
+  extend Apipie::DSL::Concern
+
+  api :GET, '/:controller_path', 'List :resource_id'
+  def index
+    # ...
+  end
+
+  api! 'Show a :resource'
+  def show
+    # ...
+  end
+
+  api :POST, '/:resource_id', "Create a :resource"
+  param :concern, Hash, :required => true
+    param :name, String, 'Name of a :resource'
+    param :resource_type, ['standard','vip']
+  end
+  def create
+    # ...
+  end
+
+  api :GET, '/:resource_id/:custom_subst'
+  def custom
+    # ...
+  end
+end
+
+# users_controller.rb
+class UsersController < ApplicationController
+
+  resource_description { resource_id 'customers' }
+
+  apipie_concern_subst(:custom_subst => 'custom', :resource => 'customer')
+  include UsersModule
+
+  # the following paths are documented
+  # api :GET, '/users'
+  # api :GET, '/customers/:id', 'Show a customer'
+  # api :POST, '/customers', 'Create a customer'
+  #   param :customer, :required => true do
+  #     param :name, String, 'Name of a customer'
+  #     param :customer_type, ['standard', 'vip']
+  #   end
+  # api :GET, '/customers/:custom'
+end
+```
+
+Sometimes, it\'s needed to extend an existing controller method with
+additional parameters (usually when extending exiting API from
+plugins/rails engines). The concern can be also used for this purposed,
+using `update_api` method. The params defined in this block
+are merged with the params of the original method in the controller this
+concern is included to.
+
+### Example
+
+``` ruby
+module Concerns
+  module OauthConcern
+    extend Apipie::DSL::Concern
+
+    update_api(:create, :update) do
+      param :user, Hash do
+        param :oauth, String, :desc => 'oauth param'
+      end
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+The concern needs to be included to the controller after the methods are
+defined (either at the end of the class, or by using
+`Controller.send(:include, Concerns::OauthConcern)`.
+
+## Response validation
+
+The swagger definitions created by Apipie can be used to auto-generate
+clients that access the described APIs. Those clients will break if the
+responses returned from the API do not match the declarations. As such,
+it is very important to include unit tests that validate the actual
+responses against the swagger definitions.
+
+The implemented mechanism provides two ways to include such validations
+in RSpec unit tests: manual (using an RSpec matcher) and automated (by
+injecting a test into the http operations \'get\', \'post\', raising an
+error if there is no match).
+
+### Example of the manual mechanism:
+
+``` ruby
+require 'apipie/rspec/response_validation_helper'
+
+RSpec.describe MyController, :type => :controller, :show_in_doc => true do
+
+  describe "GET stuff with response validation" do
+    render_views   # this makes sure the 'get' operation will actually
+                   # return the rendered view even though this is a Controller spec
+
+    it "does something" do
+      response = get :index, {format: :json}
+
+      # the following expectation will fail if the returned object
+      # does not match the 'returns' declaration in the Controller,
+      # or if there is no 'returns' declaration for the returned
+      # HTTP status code
+      expect(response).to match_declared_responses
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Example of the automated mechanism:
+
+``` ruby
+require 'apipie/rspec/response_validation_helper'
+
+RSpec.describe MyController, :type => :controller, :show_in_doc => true do
+
+  describe "GET stuff with response validation" do
+    render_views
+    auto_validate_rendered_views
+
+    it "does something" do
+      get :index, {format: :json}
+    end
+    it "does something else" do
+      get :another_index, {format: :json}
+    end
+  end
+
+  describe "GET stuff without response validation" do
+    it "does something" do
+      get :index, {format: :json}
+    end
+    it "does something else" do
+      get :another_index, {format: :json}
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+# Configuration Reference
+
+Create a configuration file in e.g. `/config/initializers/apipie.rb`.
+You can set the application name, footer text, API and documentation
+base URL and turn off validations. You can also choose your favorite
+markup language for full descriptions.
+
+`app_name`
+
+Name of your application; used in breadcrumbs navigation.
+
+`copyright`
+
+Copyright information (shown in page footer).
+
+`compress_examples`
+
+If `true` recorded examples are compressed using `Zlib`. Useful for
+    big test-suits.
+
+`doc_base_url`
+
+Documentation frontend base url.
+
+`api_base_url`
+
+Base url for default version of your API. To set it for specific
+    version use `config.api_base_url[version] = url`.
+
+`default_version`
+
+Default API version to be used (1.0 by default)
+
+`validate`
+
+Parameters validation is turned off when set to false. When set to
+    `:explicitly`, you must invoke parameter validation yourself by
+    calling controller method `apipie_validations` (typically in a
+    before_action). When set to `:implicitly` (or just true), your
+    controller\'s action methods are wrapped with generated methods
+    which call `apipie_validations`, and then call the action method.
+    (`:implicitly` by default)
+
+`validate_value`
+
+Check the value of params against specified validators (true by default)
+
+`validate_presence`
+
+Check the params presence against the documentation.
+
+`validate_key`
+
+Check the received params to ensure they are defined in the API.
+    (false by default)
+
+`action_on_non_validated_keys`
+
+Either `:raise` or `:skip`. If `validate_key` fails, raise error or
+delete the non-validated key from the params and log the key (`:raise` by default)
+
+`process_params`
+
+Process and extract the parameter defined from the params of the
+    request to the api_params variable
+
+`app_info`
+
+Application long description.
+
+`reload_controllers`
+
+Set to enable/disable reloading controllers (and the documentation
+    with it). Enabled by default in development.
+
+`api_controllers_matcher`
+
+For reloading to work properly you need to specify where your API
+    controllers are. Can be an array if multiple paths are needed
+
+`api_action_matcher`
+
+Determines the strategy to identity the correct controller action.
+    Needs to be a class that implements a `.call(controller)` method
+
+`api_routes`
+
+Set if your application uses a custom API router, different from the
+    Rails default
+
+`routes_formatter`
+
+An object providing the translation from the Rails routes to the
+    format usable in the documentation when using the `api!`
+    keyword. By default, the `Apipie::RoutesFormatter` is used.
+
+`markup`
+
+You can choose markup language for descriptions of your application,
+    resources and methods. RDoc is the default but you can choose from
+    Apipie::Markup::Markdown.new or Apipie::Markup::Textile.new. In
+    order to use Markdown you need Maruku gem and for Textile you need
+    RedCloth. Add those to your gemfile and run bundle if you want to
+    use them. You can also add any other markup language processor.
+
+`layout`
+
+Name of a layout template to use instead of Apipie\'s layout. You
+    can use Apipie.include_stylesheets and Apipie.include_javascripts
+    helpers to include Apipie\'s stylesheets and javascripts.
+
+`ignored`
+
+An array of controller names (strings) (might include actions as
+    well) to be ignored when generating the documentation e.g.
+    `%w[Api::CommentsController Api::PostsController#post]`
+
+`namespaced_resources`
+
+Use controller paths instead of controller names as resource id.
+    This prevents same named controllers overwriting each other.
+
+`authenticate`
+
+Pass a proc in order to authenticate user. Pass nil for no
+    authentication (by default).
+
+`authorize`
+
+Pass a proc in order to authorize controllers and methods. The Proc
+    is evaluated in the controller context.
+
+`show_all_examples`
+
+Set this to true to set show_in_doc=1 in all recorded examples
+
+`ignore_allow_blank_false`
+
+`allow_blank: false` was incorrectly ignored up until
+    version 0.6.0, this bug was fixed in 0.7.0 if you need the old
+    behavior, set this to true
+
+`link_extension`
+
+The extension to use for API pages (\'.html\' by default). Link
+    extensions in static API docs cannot be changed from \'.html\'.
+
+`languages`
+
+List of languages the API documentation should be translated into.
+    Empty by default.
+
+`default_locale`
+
+Locale used for generating documentation when no specific locale is
+    set. Set to \'en\' by default.
+
+`locale`
+
+Pass locale setter/getter
+
+``` ruby
+config.locale = lambda { |loc| loc ? FastGettext.set_locale(loc) : FastGettext.locale }
+```
+
+`translate`
+
+Pass proc to translate strings using the localization library your
+    project uses. For example see [Localization](#localization)
+
+Example:
+
+``` ruby
+Apipie.configure do |config|
+  config.app_name = "Test app"
+  config.copyright = "&copy; 2012 Pavel Pokorny"
+  config.doc_base_url = "/apidoc"
+  config.api_base_url = "/api"
+  config.validate = false
+  config.markup = Apipie::Markup::Markdown.new
+  config.reload_controllers = Rails.env.development?
+  config.api_controllers_matcher = File.join(Rails.root, "app", "controllers", "**","*.rb")
+  config.api_action_matcher = proc { |controller| controller.params[:action] }
+  config.api_routes = Rails.application.routes
+  config.app_info["1.0"] = "
+    This is where you can inform user about your application and API
+    in general.
+  "
+  config.authenticate = Proc.new do
+     authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |username, password|
+       username == "test" && password == "supersecretpassword"
+    end
+  end
+  config.authorize = Proc.new do |controller, method, doc|
+    !method   # show all controller doc, but no method docs.
+  end
+end
+```
+
+`checksum_path`
+
+Used in ChecksumInHeaders middleware (see [JSON
+    checksums](#json-checksums) for more info). It contains path
+    prefix(es) where the header with checksum is added. If set to nil,
+    checksum is added in headers in every response. e.g.
+    `%w[/api /apipie]`
+
+`update_checksum`
+
+If set to `true`, the checksum is recalculated with every
+    documentation_reload call
+
+# Rails Routes Integration
+
+Apipie is able to load the information about the paths based on the
+routes defined in the Rails application, by using the `api!`
+keyword in the DSL.
+
+It should be usable out of box, however, one might want to do some
+customization (such as omitting some implicit parameters in the path
+etc.). For this kind of customizations one can create a new formatter
+and pass as the `Apipie.configuration.routes_formatter` option, like
+this:
+
+``` ruby
+class MyFormatter < Apipie::RoutesFormatter
+  def format_path(route)
+    super.gsub(/\(.*?\)/, '').gsub('//','') # hide all implicit parameters
+  end
+end
+
+Apipie.configure do |config|
+ ...
+ config.routes_formatter = MyFormatter.new
+ ...
+end
+```
+
+A similar way can be used to influence things like order, or a
+description of the loaded APIs, even omitting some paths if needed.
+
+# Processing
+
+The goal is to extract and pre-process parameters of the request.
+
+For example Rails, by default, transforms an empty array to nil value.
+Perhaps you want to transform it again into an empty array. Or you want
+to support an enumeration type (comma separated values) and you want to
+automatically transform this string into an array.
+
+To use it, set the `process_params` configuration variable to true.
+
+Also by using `as` you can separate your API parameter names from the
+names you are using inside your code.
+
+To implement it, you just have to write a process_value function in your
+validator:
+
+For an enumeration type:
+
+``` ruby
+def process_value(value)
+ value ? value.split(',') : []
+end
+```
+
+# Validators
+
+Every parameter needs to have an associated validator. For now there are
+some basic validators. You can always provide your own to achieve
+complex results.
+
+If validations are enabled (default state) the parameters of every
+request are validated. If the value is wrong an +ArgumentError+
+exception is raised and can be rescued and processed. It contains a
+description of the parameter value expectations. Validations can be
+turned off in the configuration file.
+
+Here is an example of how to rescue and process a +ParamMissing+ or
++ParamInvalid+ error from within the ApplicationController.
+
+``` ruby
+class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
+
+  # ParamError is superclass of ParamMissing, ParamInvalid
+  rescue_from Apipie::ParamError do |e|
+    render text: e.message, status: :unprocessable_entity
+  end
+
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+Parameter validation normally happens after before_actions, just before
+your controller method is invoked. If you prefer to control when
+parameter validation occurs, set the configuration parameter `validate`
+to `:explicitly`. You must then call the `apipie_validations` method
+yourself, e.g.:
+
+``` ruby
+before_action :apipie_validations
+```
+
+This is useful if you have before_actions which use parameter values:
+just add them after the `apipie_validations` before_action.
+
+## TypeValidator
+
+Check the parameter type. Only String, Integer, Hash and Array are
+supported for the sake of simplicity. Read more to find out how to add
+your own validator.
+
+``` ruby
+param :session, String, :desc => "user is logged in", :required => true
+param :facts, Hash, :desc => "Additional optional facts about the user"
+```
+
+## RegexpValidator
+
+Check parameter value against given regular expression.
+
+``` ruby
+param :regexp_param, /^[0-9]* years/, :desc => "regexp param"
+```
+
+## EnumValidator
+
+Check if parameter value is included in the given array.
+
+``` ruby
+param :enum_param, [100, "one", "two", 1, 2], :desc => "enum validator"
+```
+
+## ProcValidator
+
+If you need more complex validation and you know you won\'t reuse it,
+you can use the Proc/lambda validator. Provide your own Proc, taking the
+value of the parameter as the only argument. Return true if value passes
+validation or return some text about what is wrong otherwise. Don't
+use the keyword *return* if you provide an instance of Proc (with lambda
+it is ok), just use the last statement return property of ruby.
+
+``` ruby
+param :proc_param, lambda { |val|
+  val == "param value" ? true : "The only good value is 'param value'."
+}, :desc => "proc validator"
+```
+
+## HashValidator
+
+You can describe hash parameters in depth if you provide a block with a
+description of nested values.
+
+``` ruby
+param :user, Hash, :desc => "User info" do
+  param :username, String, :desc => "Username for login", :required => true
+  param :password, String, :desc => "Password for login", :required => true
+  param :membership, ["standard","premium"], :desc => "User membership"
+end
+```
+
+## NilValidator
+
+In fact there isn\'t any NilValidator, but setting it to nil can be used
+to override parameters described on the resource level.
+
+``` ruby
+param :user, nil
+def destroy
+  #...
+end
+```
+
+## NumberValidator
+
+Check if the parameter is a positive integer number or zero
+
+``` ruby
+param :product_id, :number, :desc => "Identifier of the product", :required => true
+param :quantity, :number, :desc => "Number of products to order", :required => true
+```
+
+## DecimalValidator
+
+Check if the parameter is a decimal number
+
+``` ruby
+param :latitude, :decimal, :desc => "Geographic latitude", :required => true
+param :longitude, :decimal, :desc => "Geographic longitude", :required => true
+```
+
+## ArrayValidator
+
+Check if the parameter is an array
+
+Additional options
+
+`of`
+
+Specify the type of items. If not given it accepts an array of any item type
+
+`in`
+
+Specify an array of valid item values.
+
+### Examples
+
+Assert `things` is an array of any items
+
+``` ruby
+param :things, Array
+```
+
+Assert `hits` must be an array of integer values
+
+``` ruby
+param :hits, Array, of: Integer
+```
+
+Assert `colors` must be an array of valid string values
+
+``` ruby
+param :colors, Array, in: ["red", "green", "blue"]
+```
+
+The retrieving of valid items can be deferred until needed using a
+lambda. It is evaluated only once
+
+``` ruby
+param :colors, Array, in: ->  { Color.all.pluck(:name) }
+```
+
+### NestedValidator
+
+You can describe nested parameters in depth if you provide a block with
+a description of nested values.
+
+``` ruby
+param :comments, Array, :desc => "User comments" do
+  param :name, String, :desc => "Name of the comment", :required => true
+  param :comment, String, :desc => "Full comment", :required => true
+end
+```
+
+## Adding custom validator
+
+Only basic validators are included but it is really easy to add your
+own. Create a new initializer with a subclass of
+Apipie::Validator::BaseValidator. Two methods are required to implement
+this - instance method `validate(value)` and class method
+`build(param_description, argument, options, block)`.
+
+When searching for the validator +build+ method, every subclass of
+Apipie::Validator::BaseValidator is called. The first one that returns
+the constructed validator object is used.
+
+Example: Adding IntegerValidator
+
+We want to check if the parameter value is an integer like this:
+
+``` ruby
+param :id, Integer, :desc => "Company ID"
+```
+
+So we create apipie_validators.rb initializer with this content:
+
+``` ruby
+class IntegerValidator < Apipie::Validator::BaseValidator
+
+  def initialize(param_description, argument)
+    super(param_description)
+    @type = argument
+  end
+
+  def validate(value)
+    return false if value.nil?
+    !!(value.to_s =~ /^[-+]?[0-9]+$/)
+  end
+
+  def self.build(param_description, argument, options, block)
+    if argument == Integer
+      self.new(param_description, argument)
+    end
+  end
+
+  def description
+    "Must be #{@type}."
+  end
+
+  def expected_type
+    'numeric'
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Parameters of the build method:
+
+`param_description`
+
+Instance of Apipie::ParamDescription contains all given information about the validated parameter.
+
+`argument`
+
+Specified validator; in our example it is +Integer+
+
+`options`
+
+Hash with specified options, for us just `{:desc => "Company ID"}`
+
+`block`
+
+Block converted into Proc, use it as you desire. In this example nil.
+
+If your validator includes valid values that respond true to
+`.blank?`, you should also define:
+
+``` ruby
+def ignore_allow_blank?
+  true
+end
+```
+
+so that the validation does not fail for valid values.
+
+# Versioning
+
+Every resource/method can belong to one or more versions. The version is
+specified with the `api_version` DSL keyword. When not
+specified, the resource belongs to `config.default_version`
+(\"1.0\" by default)
+
+``` ruby
+resource_description do
+  api_versions "1", "2"
+end
+
+api :GET, "/api/users/", "List: users"
+api_version "1"
+def index
+  # ...
+end
+
+api :GET, "/api/users/", "List: users", :deprecated => true
+```
+
+In the example above we say the whole controller/resource is defined for
+versions \"1\" and \"2\", but we override this by explicitly saying
+`index` belongs only to version \"1\". Also, inheritance
+works (therefore we can specify the api_version for the parent
+controller, and all children will know about that). Routes can be
+flagged as deprecated, and an annotation will be added to them when
+viewing in the API documentation.
+
+From the Apipie API perspective, the resources belong to the version.
+With versioning, there are paths like this provided by apipie:
+
+```
+/apipie/1/users/index
+/apipie/2/users/index
+```
+
+When not specifying the version explicitly in the path (or in DSL),
+default version (`Apipie.configuration.default_version`) is
+used instead (\"1.0\" by default). Therefore, an application that
+doesn\'t need versioning should work as before.
+
+The static page generator takes a version parameter (or uses default).
+
+You can specify the versions for the examples, with the
+`versions` keyword. It specifies the versions the example is
+used for. When not specified, it\'s shown in all versions with the given
+method.
+
+When referencing or querying the resource/method descripion, this format
+should be used: \"version#resource#method\". When not specified, the
+default version is used instead.
+
+# Markup
+
+The default markup language is
+[RDoc](https://ruby.github.io/rdoc/RDoc/Markup.html). It can be changed
+in the config file (`config.markup=`) to one of these:
+
+Markdown
+
+Use Apipie::Markup::Markdown.new. You need Maruku gem.
+
+Textile
+
+Use Apipie::Markup::Textile.new. You need RedCloth gem.
+
+Or provide you own object with a `to_html(text)` method. For
+inspiration, this is how Textile markup usage is implemented:
+
+``` ruby
+class Textile
+  def initialize
+    require 'RedCloth'
+  end
+  def to_html(text)
+    RedCloth.new(text).to_html
+  end
+end
+```
+
+# Localization
+
+Apipie has support for localized API documentation in both formats (JSON
+and HTML). Apipie uses the library I18n for localization of itself.
+Check `config/locales` directory for available translations.
+
+A major part of strings in the documentation comes from the API. As
+preferences regarding localization libraries differ amongst project,
+Apipie needs to know how to set the locale for your project, and how to
+translate a string using the library your project uses. That can be done
+using lambdas in configuration.
+
+Sample configuration when your project uses FastGettext
+
+``` ruby
+Apipie.configure do |config|
+ ...
+ config.languages = ['en', 'cs']
+ config.default_locale = 'en'
+ config.locale = lambda { |loc| loc ? FastGettext.set_locale(loc) : FastGettext.locale }
+ config.translate = lambda do |str, loc|
+   old_loc = FastGettext.locale
+   FastGettext.set_locale(loc)
+   trans = _(str)
+   FastGettext.set_locale(old_loc)
+   trans
+ end
+end
+```
+
+And the strings in the API documentation need to be marked with the
+`N_()` function
+
+``` ruby
+api :GET, "/users/:id", N_("Show user profile")
+param :session, String, :desc => N_("user is logged in"), :required => true
+```
+
+When your project use I18n, localization related configuration could
+appear as follows
+
+``` ruby
+Apipie.configure do |config|
+ ...
+ config.languages = ['en', 'cs']
+ config.default_locale = 'en'
+ config.locale = lambda { |loc| loc ? I18n.locale = loc : I18n.locale }
+ config.translate = lambda do |str, loc|
+   return '' if str.blank?
+   I18n.t str, locale: loc, scope: 'doc'
+ end
+end
+```
+
+And the strings in the API documentation needs to be in the form of
+translation keys
+
+``` ruby
+api :GET, "/users/:id", "show_user_profile"
+param :session, String, :desc => "user_is_logged_in", :required => true
+```
+
+The localized versions of the documentation are distinguished by
+language in the filename. E.g. `doc/apidoc/apidoc.cs.html` is static
+documentation in the Czech language. If the language is missing, e.g.
+`doc/apidoc/apidoc.html`, the documentation is localized with the
+`default_locale`.
+
+The dynamic documentation follows the same schema. The
+`http://localhost:3000/apidoc/v1.cs.html` is documentation for version
+\'1\' of the API in the Czech language. For JSON descriptions, the API
+applies the same format: `http://localhost:3000/apidoc/v1.cs.json`
+
+# Modifying Views
+
+To modify the views of your documentation, run `rails g apipie:views`.
+This will copy the Apipie views to `app/views/apipie/apipies` and
+`app/views/layouts/apipie`.
+
+# Static files
+
+To generate a static version of documentation (perhaps to put it on your
+project site or something), run the `rake apipie:static` task. It will
+create a set of HTML files (multi-pages, single-page, plain) in your doc
+directory. If you prefer a JSON version run `rake apipie:static_json`.
+By default the documentation for the default API version is used. You
+can specify the version with `rake apipie:static[2.0]`
+
+When you want to avoid any unnecessary computation in production mode,
+you can generate a cache with `rake apipie:cache` and configure the app
+to use it in production with `config.use_cache = Rails.env.production?`
+
+Default cache dir is `File.join(Rails.root, "public", "apipie-cache")`,
+you can change it to where you want, example:
+`config.cache_dir = File.join(Rails.root, "doc", "apidoc")`.
+
+If, for some complex cases, you need to generate/re-generate just part
+of the cache use `rake apipie:cache cache_part=index` resp.
+`rake apipie:cache cache_part=resources` To generate it for different
+locations for further processing use
+`rake apipie:cache OUT=/tmp/apipie_cache`.
+
+# Static Swagger (OpenAPI 2.0) files
+
+To generate a static Swagger definition file from the api, run
+`rake apipie:static_swagger_json`. By default the documentation for the
+default API version is used. You can specify the version with
+`rake apipie:static_swagger_json[2.0]`. A swagger file will be generated
+for each locale. The files will be generated in the same location as the
+static_json files, but instead of being named
+`schema_apipie[.locale].json`, they will be called
+`schema_swagger[.locale].json`.
+
+## Specifying default values for parameters
+
+Swagger allows method definitions to include an indication of the the
+default value for each parameter. To include such indications, use
+`:default_value => <some value>` in the parameter definition DSL. For
+example:
+
+``` ruby
+param :do_something, Boolean, :desc => "take an action", :required => false, :default_value => false
+```
+
+## Generated Warnings
+
+The help identify potential improvements to your documentation, the
+swagger generation process issues warnings if it identifies various
+shortcomings of the DSL documentation. Each warning has a code to allow
+selective suppression (see swagger-specific configuration below)
+
+| Error Code | Description                                                                         |
+|------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| 100        | Missing short description for method                                                |
+| 101        | Added missing / at beginning of path                                                |
+| 102        | No return codes specified for method                                                |
+| 103        | A parameter is a generic Hash without an internal type specification                |
+| 104        | A parameter is an 'in-path' parameter, but specified as 'not required' in the DSL   |
+| 105        | A parameter is optional but does not have a default value specified                  |
+| 106        | A parameter was omitted from the swagger output because it is a Hash without fields in a formData specification |
+| 107        | A path parameter is not described                                                   |
+| 108        | Inferring that a parameter type is boolean because described as an enum with `[false true]` values |
+
+
+## Swagger-Specific Configuration Parameters
+
+There are several configuration parameters that determine the structure
+of the generated swagger file:
+
+`config.generator.swagger.content_type_input`
+
+- If the value is `:form_data` - the swagger file will indicate that
+the server consumes the content types
+`application/x-www-form-urlencoded` and `multipart/form-data`.
+Non-path parameters will have the value `"in": "formData"`. Note
+that parameters of type Hash that do not have any fields in them
+will *be omitted* from the resulting files, as there is no way to
+describe them in swagger.
+
+- If the value is `:json` - the swagger file will indicate that the
+server consumes the content type `application/json`. All non-path
+parameters will be included in the schema of a single `"in": "body"`
+parameter of type `object`.
+
+- You can specify the value of this configuration parameter as an
+additional input to the rake command (e.g.,
+`rake apipie:static_swagger_json[2.0,form_data]`).
+
+`config.generator.swagger.json_input_uses_refs`
+
+- This parameter is only relevant if `swagger.content_type_input` is
+    `:json`.
+
+- If `true`: the schema of the `"in": "body"` parameter of each method
+is given its own entry in the `definitions` section, and is
+referenced using `$ref` from the method definition.
+
+- If `false`: the body parameter definitions are inlined within the
+method definitions.
+
+`config.generator.swagger.include_warning_tags`
+
+- If `true`: in addition to tagging methods with the name of the
+resource they belong to, methods for which warnings have been issued
+will be tagged with.
+
+`config.generator.swagger.suppress_warnings`
+
+- If `false`: no warnings will be suppressed
+
+- If `true`: all warnings will be suppressed
+
+- If an array of values (e.g., `[100,102,107]`), only the warnings
+identified by the numbers in the array will be suppressed.
+
+`config.generator.swagger.api_host`
+
+- The value to place in the swagger host field. Default is `localhost:3000`
+- If `nil` then then host field will not be included.
+
+`config.generator.swagger.allow_additional_properties_in_response`
+
+- If `false` (default): response descriptions in the generated swagger
+will include an `additional-properties: false` field
+
+- If `true`: the `additional-properties: false` field will not be
+included in response object descriptions
+
+`config.generator.swagger.schemes`
+
+- An array of transport schemes that the API supports. This can
+include any combination of `http`, `https`, `ws` and `wss`. By
+default to encourage good security practices, `['https']` is
+specified.
+
+`config:swagger.security_definitions`
+
+- If the API requires authentication, you can specify details of the
+authentication mechanisms supported as a (Hash) value here. See
+\[<https://swagger.io/docs/specification/2-0/authentication/>\] for
+details of what values can be specified By default, no security is
+defined.
+
+`config.generator.swagger.global_security`
+
+- If the API requires authentication, you can specify which of the
+authentication mechanisms are supported by all API operations as an
+Array of hashes here. This should be used in conjunction with the
+mechanisms defined by `swagger.security_definitions`. See
+\[<https://swagger.io/docs/specification/2-0/authentication/>\] for
+details of what values can be specified By default, no security is
+defined.
+
+`config.generator.swagger.skip_default_tags`
+
+- By setting `false` (default): The resource name for e.g.
+`/pets/{petId}` will automatically be added as a tag `pets`. By
+setting `true`: The tags needs to be explicitly added to the
+resource using the DSL.
+
+## Known limitations of the current implementation
+
+-   There is currently no way to document the structure and content-type
+    of the data returned from a method
+-   Recorded examples are currently not included in the generated
+    swagger file
+-   The apipie `formats` value is ignored.
+-   It is not possible to specify the \"consumed\" content type on a
+    per-method basis
+-   It is not possible to leverage all of the parameter type/format
+    capabilities of swagger
+-   Only OpenAPI 2.0 is supported
+-   Responses are defined inline and not as a \$ref
+-   It is not possible to specify per-operation security requirements
+    (only global)
+
+# Dynamic Swagger generation
+
+To generate swagger dynamically, use
+`http://localhost:3000/apipie.json?type=swagger`.
+
+Note that authorization is not supported for dynamic swagger generation,
+so if `config.authorize` is defined, dynamic swagger generation will be
+disabled.
+
+Dynamically generated swagger is not cached, and is always generated on
+the fly.
+
+# JSON checksums
+
+If the API client needs to be sure that the JSON didn\'t changed, add
+the `ApipieChecksumInHeaders` middleware in your rails app. It can add a
+checksum of the entire JSON document in the response headers.
+
+```
+"Apipie-Checksum"=>"fb81460e7f4e78d059f826624bdf9504"
+```
+
+[Apipie bindings](https://github.com/Apipie/apipie-bindings) uses this
+feature to refresh its JSON cache.
+
+To set it up add the following to your `application.rb`
+
+```
+require 'apipie/middleware/checksum_in_headers'
+# Add JSON checksum in headers for smarter caching
+config.middleware.use "Apipie::Middleware::ChecksumInHeaders"
+```
+
+And in your apipie initializer allow checksum calculation
+
+```
+Apipie.configuration.update_checksum = true
+```
+
+By default the header is added to responses for `config.doc_base_url`
+and `/api`. It can be changed in configuration (see [Configuration
+Reference](#configuration-reference) for details).
+
+The checksum calculation is lazy, and done with the first request. If
+you run with `use_cache = true`, do not forget to run the rake task
+`apipie:cache`.
+
+# Tests Integration
+
+Apipie integrates with automated testing in two ways. *Documentation
+bootstrapping* and *examples recording*.
+
+## Documentation Bootstrapping
+
+Let\'s say you have an application without REST API documentation.
+However you have a set of tests that are run against this API. A lot of
+information is already included in these tests, it just needs to be
+extracted somehow. Luckily, Apipie provides such a feature.
+
+When running the tests, set the `APIPIE_RECORD=params` environment
+variable or call `Apipie.record('params')` from specs starter. You can
+either use it with functional tests:
+
+```
+APIPIE_RECORD=params rake test:functionals
+```
+
+or you can run your server with this param, in case you run the tests
+against running server:
+
+```
+APIPIE_RECORD=params rails server
+```
+
+When the process quits, the data from requests/responses are used to
+determine the documentation. It\'s quite raw, but it makes the initial
+phase much easier.
+
+## Examples Recording
+
+You can also use the tests to generate up-to-date examples for your
+code. Similar to the bootstrapping process, you can use it with
+functional tests or a running server, setting `APIPIE_RECORD=examples`
+or calling `Apipie.record('examples')` in your specs starter.
+
+```
+APIPIE_RECORD=examples rake test:functionals
+APIPIE_RECORD=examples rails server
+```
+
+The data is written into `doc/apipie_examples.yml`. By default, only the
+first example is shown for each action. You can customize this by
+setting the `show_in_doc` attribute at each example.
+
+You can add a title to the examples (useful when showing more than one
+example per method) by adding a \'title\' attribute.
+
+```
+--- !omap
+  - announcements#index:
+    - !omap
+      - title: This is a custom title for this example
+      - verb: :GET
+      - path: /api/blabla/1
+      - versions:
+        - '1.0'
+      - query:
+      - request_data:
+      - response_data:
+        ...
+      - code: 200
+      - show_in_doc: 1   # If 1, show. If 0, do not show.
+      - recorded: true
+```
+
+In RSpec you can add metadata to examples. We can use that feature to
+mark selected examples - the ones that perform the requests that we want
+to show as examples in the documentation.
+
+For example, we can add `show_in_doc` to examples, like this:
+
+``` ruby
+describe "This is the correct path" do
+  it "some test", :show_in_doc do
+    ....
+  end
+end
+
+context "These are edge cases" do
+  it "Can't authenticate" do
+    ....
+  end
+
+   it "record not found" do
+     ....
+   end
+end
+```
+
+And then configure RSpec in this way:
+
+``` ruby
+RSpec.configure do |config|
+  config.treat_symbols_as_metadata_keys_with_true_values = true
+  config.filter_run :show_in_doc => true if ENV['APIPIE_RECORD']
+end
+```
+
+This way, when running in recording mode, only the tests that have been
+marked with the `:show_in_doc` metadata will be run, and hence only
+those will be used as examples.
+
+## Caveats
+
+Make sure to enable `config.render_views` in your
+`config/rails_helper.rb` or `config/spec_helper.rb` if you\'re using
+jbuilder, or you will get back empty results
+
+# Bindings Generator
+
+In earlier versions (\<= 0.0.13), there was a simple client generator as
+a part of Apipie gem. As more features and users came to Apipie, there
+was a greater need for changes on a per project basis. It\'s hard (or
+even impossible) to provide a generic solution for the client code. We
+also don\'t want to tell you what\'s the right way to do it (what gems
+to use, how the API should look like etc.).
+
+Therefore you can\'t generate client code directly by a rake task in
+further versions.
+
+There is, however, an even better and more flexible way to reuse your
+API documentation for this purpose: using the API the Apipie provides in
+the generator code. Check out our sister project
+[apipie-bindings](https://github.com/Apipie/apipie-bindings), as they
+use exactly this approach. You also don\'t need to run the service,
+provided it uses Apipie as a backend.
+
+And if you write one on your own, don\'t hesitate to share it with us!
+
+# Contributing
+
+Then, you can install dependencies and run the test suite:
+
+``` shell
+> bundle install
+> bundle exec rspec
+```
+
+# Disqus Integration
+
+You can setup [Disqus](https://disqus.com/) discussion within your
+documentation. Just set the credentials in the Apipie configuration:
+
+``` ruby
+config.disqus_shortname = "MyProjectDoc"
+```
