API Blueprint to Me

Processes API Blueprints both locally and remotely. Useful for pre-processing blueprints which have includes in them and then publishing them to Apiary for example.

Quickstart

1. Install the package globally

   npm i -g @apib/2me

2. Obtain a collection of API blueprint files which has includes and references other blueprint files. These includes may be specified using the following syntax:

   <!-- include(other/file.apib) -->

   Yes, you read correctly, it's just a comment with the word "include" inside!

3. Run the command to render a full api blueprint

   apib2me file -i index.md -o full-blueprint.apib

Command Line Options

apib2me <source:destination> [options]

• <source:destination>

  • Possible values:

    | Name | Description | Parameters | | ---- | ----------- | ---------- | | file | Describes a local file source | Input: -i <file-name>, Output: -o <file-name> | | apiary | Remote Apiary.io source | API Name: -a <api-name>, Access Token: -k <token> |

  • The source is where the API Blueprint is obtained from.

  • The destination is where the processed blueprint is saved.

• -i <input>, --input <input>

  Specify a file to obtain the input blueprint from.

• -o <output>, --output <output>

  Default stdout

  Specify a file for where the processed output will be saved.

• -a <api-name>, --apiName <api-name>

  Specify the Apiary api name for your project.

  Also known as the API Domain, e.x. api-name.docs.apiary.io

  Specify the Apiary token which has access to read and write to your API.

  Can be obtained from your API settings within Apiary.

Example Commands

Processing a blueprint locally and saving to a new file

Without specifying both an input and destination, the source will be interpreted as both being the same source.

apib2me file -i input-blueprint.md -o output.md

Saving a blueprint from Apiary

apib2me apiary:file -a apiname -k apiarytoken -o output-file.apib

Publishing a blueprint to Apiary

apib2me file:apiary -a apiname -k apiarytoken -i api-blueprint.apib
