6
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
7
+
8
+ 1. Definitions.
9
+
10
+ "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
11
+ and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
12
+
13
+ "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
14
+ the copyright owner that is granting the License.
15
+
16
+ "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
17
+ other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
18
+ control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
19
+ "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
20
+ direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
21
+ otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
22
+ outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
23
+
24
+ "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
25
+ exercising permissions granted by this License.
26
+
27
+ "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
28
+ including but not limited to software source code, documentation
29
+ source, and configuration files.
30
+
31
+ "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
32
+ transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
33
+ not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
34
+ and conversions to other media types.
35
+
36
+ "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
37
+ Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
38
+ copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
39
+ (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
40
+
41
+ "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
42
+ form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
43
+ editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
44
+ represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
45
+ of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
46
+ separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
47
+ the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
48
+
49
+ "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
50
+ the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
51
+ to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
52
+ submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
53
+ or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
54
+ the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
55
+ means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
56
+ to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
57
+ communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
58
+ and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
59
+ Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
60
+ excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
61
+ designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
62
+
63
+ "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
64
+ on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
65
+ subsequently incorporated within the Work.
66
+
67
+ 2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
68
+ this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
69
+ worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
70
+ copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
71
+ publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
72
+ Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
73
+
74
+ 3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
75
+ this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
76
+ worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
77
+ (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
78
+ use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
79
+ where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
80
+ by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
81
+ Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
82
+ with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
83
+ institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
84
+ cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
85
+ or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
86
+ or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
87
+ granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
88
+ as of the date such litigation is filed.
89
+
90
+ 4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
91
+ Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
92
+ modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
93
+ meet the following conditions:
94
+
95
+ (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
96
+ Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
97
+
98
+ (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
99
+ stating that You changed the files; and
100
+
101
+ (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
102
+ that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
103
+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
104
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
105
+ the Derivative Works; and
106
+
107
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
108
+ distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
109
+ include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
110
+ within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
111
+ pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
112
+ of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
113
+ as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
114
+ documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
115
+ within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
116
+ wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
117
+ of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
118
+ do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
119
+ notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
120
+ or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
121
+ that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
122
+ as modifying the License.
123
+
124
+ You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
125
+ may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
126
+ for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
127
+ for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
128
+ reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
129
+ the conditions stated in this License.
130
+
131
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
132
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
133
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
134
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
135
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
136
+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
137
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
138
+
139
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
140
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
141
+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
142
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
143
+
144
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
145
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
146
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
147
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
148
+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
149
+ of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
150
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
151
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
152
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
153
+
154
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
155
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
156
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
157
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
158
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
159
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
160
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
161
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
162
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
163
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
164
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
165
+
166
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
167
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
168
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
169
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
170
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
171
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
172
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
173
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
174
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
175
+ of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
176
+

+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

2
+
3
+ == What?
4
+
5
+ Every API needs a documentation otherwise no one know how to use it.
6
+ It is not easy to maintain such documentation always up to date if it
7
+ develops over time. Additionaly to this most programmers don't like writing
8
+ documentation and so it could happen that your API is useless because
9
+ of outdated documentation. If the documentation is just text completely
10
+ separated from code then there is no simple way to verify its correctness.
11
+
12
+ This gem adds some new methods to Rails controllers that can be used
13
+ to describe resources which are exposed by our API. It is meant to
14
+ be used for {RESTful}[http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer]
15
+ web services and because we are talking about Rails you probably know
16
+ what it is all about.
17
+
18
+ Informations you entered with provided DSL are used to generate
19
+ online documentation and validate values of incoming requests parameters.
20
+
21
+ == Why?
22
+
23
+ Documentation will be closer to your code and thus less prone to become
24
+ obsolete. You get documentation frontend without effort. And if you want your
25
+ own design you can do it anytime because json API for your API documentation
26
+ is provided. There are no limits on how to use those informations, the
27
+ builtin web interface is only one of possible options.
28
+
29
+ Request parameters will be validated before they will get in touch with yours
30
+ controller action or model code. And you inform API users about expected
31
+ parameters values. This information will be always actual because otherwise
32
+ your tests fail (of course you have tests!).
33
+
34
+ This is how the web interface look like. Try it live on
35
+ http://restapi-likes.rhcloud.com. Example users resource
36
+ description are taken from Twitter(c) API.

41
+
42
+ == How?
43
+
44
+ === Gemfile
45
+
46
+ Add +apipie+ gem to your gemfile and run bundle.
47
+
48
+ gem 'apipie-rails'
49
+
50
+ For bleeding edge version use GitHub version
51
+
52
+ gem 'apipie-rails', :git => 'git://github.com/Pajk/apipie-rails.git'
53
+
54
+ === Config file
55
+
56
+ Create configuration file in e.g. */config/initializers/apipie.rb*.
57
+ You can set application name, footer text, API and documentation base URL
58
+ and turn off validations. You can also choose your favorite markup language
59
+ of full descriptions.
60
+
61
+ [app_name] Name of your application used in breadcrumbs navigation.
62
+ [copyright] Copyright information (shown in page footer).
63
+ [doc_base_url] Documentation frontend base url.
64
+ [api_base_url] Base url of your API, most probably /api.
65
+ [validate] Parameters validation is turned off when set to false.
66
+ [app_info] Application long description.
67
+ [reload_controllers] Set to enable/disable reloading controllers (and the documentation with it), by default enabled in development.
68
+ [api_controllers_matcher] For reloading to work properly you need to specify where your API controllers are.
69
+ [markup] You can choose markup language for descriptions of your application,
70
+ resources and methods. RDoc is the default but you can choose from
71
+ Apipie::Markup::Markdown.new or Apipie::Markup::Textile.new.
72
+ In order to use Markdown you need Redcarpet gem and for Textile you
73
+ need RedCloth. Add those to your gemfile and run bundle if you
74
+ want to use them. You can also add any other markup language
75
+ processor.
76
+
77
+ Example:
78
+
79
+ Apipie.configure do |config|
80
+ config.app_name = "Test app"
81
+ config.copyright = "&copy; 2012 Pavel Pokorny"
82
+ config.doc_base_url = "/apidoc"
83
+ config.api_base_url = "/api"
84
+ config.validate = false
85
+ config.markup = Apipie::Markup::Markdown.new
86
+ config.reload_controllers = true
87
+ config.api_controllers_matcher = File.join(Rails.root, "app", "controllers", "**","*.rb")
88
+ config.app_info = <<-DOC
89
+ This is where you can inform user about your application and API
90
+ in general.
91
+ DOC
92
+ end
93
+
94
+ === Routes
95
+
96
+ Add +apipie+ to your *routes.rb*, that's all.
97
+
98
+
99
+ === Resource Description
100
+
101
+ Resource can be described in corresponding controller by calling +resource_description+ method with block. Parameters described here are used
102
+ for every method unless they are overridden with NilValidator.
103
+ Parameters are inherited in controller hierarchy. So for example you can define
104
+ in base ApplicationController parameters for authentication and they will
105
+ be checked in every request.
106
+
107
+ [name] You can force resource to display under some alias.
108
+ [short] One line short description.
109
+ [path] Relative URL path of this resource.
110
+ [version] Version of this resource API, use arbitrary string.
111
+ [param] The very same parameter description as you will use method
112
+ description. Generally use this for parameters that apply
113
+ to every method in the controller (such as :user hash).
114
+ It is possible to hide it for individual methods by setting
115
+ it's validator to nil.
116
+ [description] The full multiline description of the resource and
117
+ yours API options
118
+
119
+ Example:
120
+
121
+ class UsersController < ApplicationController
122
+
123
+ resource_description do
124
+ name 'Members'
125
+ short 'Site members'
126
+ path '/users'
127
+ version '1.0 - 3.4.2012'
128
+ param :id, Fixnum, :desc => "User ID", :required => false
129
+ param :user, Hash, :desc => 'Param description for all methods' do
130
+ param :username, String, :required => true,
131
+ :desc => "Username for login"
132
+ param :password, String, :required => true,
133
+ :desc => "Password for login"
134
+ end
135
+ description <<-DOC
136
+ Full description of this resource.
137
+ DOC
138
+ end
139
+ #...
140
+ end
141
+
142
+
143
+ === Method Description
144
+
145
+ Then describe methods available to your API.
146
+
147
+ [api] Say how is this method exposed and provide short description.
148
+ The first parameter is HTTP method (one of :GET/:POST/:PUT/:DELETE).
149
+ The second parameter is relative URL path which is mapped to this
150
+ method. The last parameter is methods short description.
151
+ You can use this +api+ method more than once for one method. It could
152
+ be useful when there are more routes mapped to it.
153
+ [param] Look at Parameter description section for details.
154
+ [error] Describe each possible error that can happend what calling this
155
+ method. HTTP response code and description can be provided.
156
+ [description] Full method description which will be converted to HTML by
157
+ choosen markup language processor.
158
+ [example] Provide example of server response, whole communication or response type.
159
+ It will be formatted as code.
160
+ [see] Provide reference to another method, this has to be string with
161
+ controller_name#method_name.
162
+
163
+ Example:
164
+
165
+ api :GET, "/users/:id", "Show user profile"
166
+ error :code => 401, :desc => "Unauthorized"
167
+ error :code => 404, :desc => "Not Found"
168
+ param :session, String, :desc => "user is logged in", :required => true
169
+ param :regexp_param, /^[0-9]* years/, :desc => "regexp param"
170
+ param :array_param, [100, "one", "two", 1, 2], :desc => "array validator"
171
+ param :boolean_param, [true, false], :desc => "array validator with boolean"
172
+ param :proc_param, lambda { |val|
173
+ val == "param value" ? true : "The only good value is 'param value'."
174
+ }, :desc => "proc validator"
175
+ description "method description"
176
+ example " 'user': {...} "
177
+ see "users#showme"
178
+ def show
179
+ #...
180
+ end
181
+
182
+ == Parameter Description
183
+
184
+ Use +param+ to describe every possible parameter. You can use Hash validator
185
+ in cooperation with block given to param method to describe nested parameters.
186
+
187
+ [name] The first argument is parameter name as a symbol.
188
+ [validator] Second parameter is parameter validator, choose one from section
189
+ Validators.
190
+ [desc] Parameter description.
191
+ [required] Set this true/false to make it required/optional.
192
+ Default is optional
193
+
194
+ Example:
195
+
196
+ param :user, Hash, :desc => "User info" do
197
+ param :username, String, :desc => "Username for login", :required => true
198
+ param :password, String, :desc => "Password for login", :required => true
199
+ param :membership, ["standard","premium"], :desc => "User membership"
200
+ end
201
+ def create
202
+ #...
203
+ end
204
+
205
+
206
+ == Validators
207
+
208
+ Every parameter needs to have associated validator. For now there are some
209
+ basic validators. You can always provide your own to reach complex
210
+ results.
211
+ If validations are enabled (default state) the parameters of every
212
+ request are validated. If the value is wrong a +ArgumentError+ exception
213
+ is raised and can be rescued and processed. It contains some description
214
+ of parameter value expectations. Validations can be turned off
215
+ in configuration file.
216
+
217
+ === TypeValidator
218
+
219
+ Check the parameter type. Only String, Hash and Array are supported
220
+ for the sake of simplicity. Read more to to find out how to add
221
+ your own validator.
222
+
223
+ param :session, String, :desc => "user is logged in", :required => true
224
+ param :facts, Hash, :desc => "Additional optional facts about the user"
225
+
226
+ === RegexpValidator
227
+
228
+ Check parameter value against given regular expression.
229
+
230
+ param :regexp_param, /^[0-9]* years/, :desc => "regexp param"
231
+
232
+ === ArrayValidator
233
+
234
+ Check if parameter value is included given array.
235
+
236
+ param :array_param, [100, "one", "two", 1, 2], :desc => "array validator"
237
+
238
+ === ProcValidator
239
+
240
+ If you need more complex validation and you know you won't reuse it you
241
+ can use Proc/lambda validator. Provide your own Proc taking value
242
+ of parameter as the only argument. Return true if value pass validation
243
+ or return some text about what is wrong. _Don't use the keyword *return*
244
+ if you provide instance of Proc (with lambda it is ok), just use the last
245
+ statement return property of ruby_.
246
+
247
+ param :proc_param, lambda { |val|
248
+ val == "param value" ? true : "The only good value is 'param value'."
249
+ }, :desc => "proc validator"
250
+
251
+ === HashValidator
252
+
253
+ You can describe hash parameters in depth if you provide a block with
254
+ description of nested values.
255
+
256
+ param :user, Hash, :desc => "User info" do
257
+ param :username, String, :desc => "Username for login", :required => true
258
+ param :password, String, :desc => "Password for login", :required => true
259
+ param :membership, ["standard","premium"], :desc => "User membership"
260
+ end
261
+
262
+ === NilValidator
263
+
264
+ In fact there is any NilValidator but setting it to nil can be used to
265
+ override parameters described on resource level.
266
+
267
+ Example:
268
+
269
+ param :user, nil
270
+ def destroy
271
+ #...
272
+ end
273
+
274
+ === Adding custom validator
275
+
276
+ Only basic validators are included but it is really easy to add your own.
277
+ Create new initializer with subclass of Apipie::Validator::BaseValidator.
278
+ Two methods are required to implement - instance method
279
+ <tt>validate(value)</tt> and class method
280
+ <tt>build(param_description, argument, options, block)</tt>.
281
+
282
+ When searching for validator +build+ method of every subclass of
283
+ Apipie::Validator::BaseValidator is called. The first one whitch return
284
+ constructed validator object is used.
285
+
286
+ Example: Adding IntegerValidator
287
+
288
+ We want to check if parameter value is an integer like this:
289
+
290
+ param :id, Integer, :desc => "Company ID"
291
+
292
+ So we create apipie_validators.rb initializer with this content:
293
+
294
+ class IntegerValidator < Apipie::Validator::BaseValidator
295
+
296
+ def initialize(param_description, argument)
297
+ super(param_description)
298
+ @type = argument
299
+ end
300
+
301
+ def validate(value)
302
+ return false if value.nil?
303
+ !!(value.to_s =~ \/^[-+]?[0-9]+$/)
304
+ end
305
+
306
+ def self.build(param_description, argument, options, block)
307
+ if argument == Integer || argument == Fixnum
308
+ self.new(param_description, argument)
309
+ end
310
+ end
311
+
312
+ def error
313
+ "Parameter \#{@param_name} expecting to be \#{@type.name},
314
+ got: \#{@error_value.class.name}"
315
+ end
316
+
317
+ def description
318
+ "Parameter has to be #{@type}."
319
+ end
320
+ end
321
+
322
+ Parameters of the build method:
323
+
324
+ [param_description] Instance of Apipie::ParamDescription contains all
325
+ given informations about validated parameter.
326
+ [argument] Specified validator, in our example it is +Integer+
327
+ [options] Hash with specified options, for us just
328
+ <tt>{:desc => "Company ID"}</tt>
329
+ [block] Block converted into Proc, use it as you desire. In this example nil.
330
+
331
+
332
+ == Markup
333
+
334
+ The default markup language is {RDoc}[http://rdoc.rubyforge.org/RDoc/Markup.html]. It can be changed in
335
+ config file (config.markup=) to one of these:
336
+ [Markdown] Use Apipie::Markup::Markdown.new. You need Redcarpet gem.
337
+ [Textile] Use Apipie::Markup::Textile.new. You need RedCloth gem.
338
+
339
+ Or provide you own object with <tt>to_html(text)</tt> method.
340
+ For inspiration this is how Textile look like:
341
+
342
+ class Textile
343
+ def initialize
344
+ require 'RedCloth'
345
+ end
346
+ def to_html(text)
347
+ RedCloth.new(text).to_html
348
+ end
349
+ end
350
+
351
+ == Static page
352
+
353
+ To generate static version of documentation run <tt>rake apipie:static</tt> task.
354
+ It will create folder with one-page documentation in your public directory. Rename
355
+ or delete it if you want to use 'normal' dynamic version again.
356
+
357
+ == {CLI client}[https://github.com/Pajk/apipie-rails/wiki/CLI-client]
358
+
359
+ == {Extractor}[https://github.com/Pajk/apipie-rails/wiki/Extractor]
360
+
361
+ == Future features
362
+
363
+ * Dynamic CLI client (read info from documentation API)
364
+ * Add documentation json API description to readme
365
+ * Possibility to create requests from web documentation and check responses
