Open Api 3 <--> RESTFul API Defender

This tool is a CLI that parses an Open Api 3 Specification, calls a real API based on the spec's paths & associated response schemas, and provides command line validation on the output.

Installation

npm install @ten-group/oa3-api-defender --dev

yarn add @ten-group/oa3-api-defender --dev

Usage

npx oa3-def validate --specPath=<path_to_yaml_spec> --url=<URL_of_API>

• --specPath: path to an Open Api 3 Specification written in YAML.
• --url: fully qualified URL to the API to call (don't use production, especially if your spec has CRUD operations!!).
• --auth: an optional string that will be added as an auth header, like so:

{
  headers: {
    Authorization: 'YOUR AUTH STRING HERE'
  }
}

Requests with path (/path{id}) or query (/path?query=1&nice=2) will be called only if the OA3 spec contains valid examples for the parameters:

Known Issues/WIPs

• ~~The Tool cannot currently handle paramaterised requests : url/{id} or url/{id}/nestedpath, I am working on a solution: grabbing example param values from the OA3 spec and automatically calling the endpoints with them.~~ Paramaterised (path + query only) requests are now implemented as of version 1.4.

• The Tool cannot currently properly handle requests with request bodies, I am also working on this, though the solution to this is a little more involved - give me a few days :)
