alps-unified-ts

That is an enhanced TypeScript library of alps-unified. With it you can convert an ALPS API spec to other API spec like openApi, Graph QL Schema.

Very useful to understand the idea of ALPS API is this video on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG6-r3UdenE

Features

• generating and publishing alps unified libraries for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java and .NET
• Type support for ALPS specs (see example 'Create from Spec' down below)

Examples

Load from YAML file

You can load the ALPS spec directly from a YAML file. JSON ist atm not supported.

Convert to OpenApi

Alps.unified(Alps.loadYaml('test/todo-alps.yaml'), {
  formatType: FormatType.OPENAPI,
});

Convert to GraphQL Schema

Alps.unified(Alps.loadYaml('test/todo-alps.yaml'), {
  formatType: FormatType.SDL,
});

Create from Spec

Creating the API specification from the spec is very powerful. As it gives you much support in an idea like VS as it is typed and documented. So you alway produce valid API specs.

Alps.unified(
  Alps.spec({
    alps: {
      version: '1.0',
      doc: {
        value: 'Simple Todo list example',
      },
      ext: [
        {
          type: 'metadata',
          name: 'title',
          value: 'simpleTodo',
          tags: 'oas',
        },
        {
          type: 'metadata',
          name: 'root',
          value: 'http://api.example.org/todo',
          tags: 'oas',
        },
      ],
      descriptor: [
        {
          id: 'id',
          type: 'semantic',
          text: 'storage id of todo item',
        },
      ],
    },
  }),
);

For Python to benefit from the types better do this:

import alps_unified_ts as alps

alps_def = alps.AlpsDef(
    version='1.0',
    descriptor=[alps.DescriptorDef(id="id", type="semantic", text="sotrage id of todo item")],
    doc=alps.DocDef(
        value="Simple Todo list example"),
        ext=[
            alps.ExtDef(
                name="root",
                tags="oas",
                type="metadata",
                value="http://api.example.org/todo"),
            alps.ExtDef(
                name="title",
                tags="oas",
                type="metadata",
                value="simpleTodo")])

alps.Alps.unified(alps_document=alps.Alps.spec(alps=alps_def), format_type=alps.FormatType.OPENAPI)
