Usage

Basic

Working on the Specification

These are the basic steps when working with a repo that uses bkn-specs-editor inside devDependencies.

1. Go the project repository of which the spec you'd like to work on–e.g. Beakyn/gsp-geofence-api.

2. Run the specs editing script–usually npm run docs:specs:edit.

3. A new tab on your browser will open running an instance of the Swagger Editor.

4. Write everything you need. All changes are immediately propagated through the spec/ directory.

5. Once you finish with the changes you can run the bundling script using: npm run docs:specs:build.

6. Share you changes with the rest of the world by pushing to the master branch on GitHub.

Adding to an Existing Project

These are the basic steps when adding bkn-specs-editor to an existing API project documentation workflow.

1. Add it inside devDependencies:

   # Using npm
   npm install --save-dev bkn-specs-editor
   
   # Using yarn
   yarn add --dev bkn-specs-editor

2. Ensure you have the following structure in your project:

   |-- spec/
   |   |-- definitions/
   |   |-- paths/
   |   |-- swagger.yml
   |-- package.json
   |-- ...

3. Add a specs editing script–standarized as npm run docs:specs:edit in your package.json:

   {
     "name": "gsp-geofence-api",
     ...
     "scripts": {
       ...
       "docs:specs:edit": "bkn-specs-editor serve"
     }
     ...
   }

4. Add a bundling script–standarized as npm run docs:specs:build in your package.json:

   {
     "name": "gsp-geofence-api",
     ...
     "scripts": {
       ...
       "docs:specs:edit": "bkn-specs-editor serve",
       "docs:specs:build": "bkn-specs-editor bundle"
     },
     ...
   }

5. You can now start working on the specification.
