ApiDocServer

Include redoc as Rails engine and document your API with simple YAML files. Supports API documentation versioning.

Installation

Add to Gemfile

gem 'api_doc_server'

And then run:

$ bundle

Usage

Mount

Add to your config/routes.rb

mount ApiDocServer::Engine, at: "/api_docs"

You can place this route under admin_constraint or other restricted path, or configure basic HTTP authentication.

Devise auth

authenticate :user, lambda { |u| u.admin? } do
  mount ApiDocServer::Engine, at: "/api_docs"
end

Basic HTTP auth

Set admin username and password in an initializer:

# config/initializers/api_doc_server.rb

ApiDocServer.configure do |config|
  config.authentication_proc = proc
    authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |username, password|
      User.find_by(name: username, password: password)
    end
  end
end

Initialize

Versioned API documentations

Set the path of your json/yaml versioned documentations in an initializer:

# config/initializers/api_doc_server.rb

ApiDocServer.configure do |config|
  config.swagger_urls = {
    v1: 'api/v1/swagger.yaml',
    v2: 'api/v2/swagger.yaml',
  }
end

and place your main documentation file under /public/api path.

Single API documentation

# config/initializers/api_doc_server.rb

ApiDocServer.configure do |config|
  config.swagger_urls = { v1: 'api/v1/swagger.yaml' }
