I would like to format my Swagger API descriptions so that they are not simple paragraphs of text. Preferably, I'd like to add a small table to it.
I did not find an online reference about text formatting in Swagger descriptions. If I launch the Swagger Editor, and open the Instagram example (File \ Open Example \ Instagram.yaml), I see the the first description in the yaml file shows some formatting including a hyperlink and bounding box:
[registered your client](http://instagram.com/developer/register/) it's easy to start requesting data from Instagram. ``` https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/popular?client_id=CLIENT-ID ```
This looks like standard Markdown, but when I add a table markdown to the samples description, the editor presents an error:
|Col1|Col2| |------|------| |1|2| YAML Syntax Error End of the stream or a document separator is expected at line 36, column
What formatting does Swagger 2.0 allow? Am I doing something wrong to render a table?
1 - Open the Properties dialog for your project, click the "Build" tab and ensure that "XML documentation file" is checked. This will produce a file containing all XML comments at build-time. At this point, any classes or methods that are NOT annotated with XML comments will trigger a build warning.
Format. An OpenAPI document that conforms to the OpenAPI Specification is itself a JSON object, which may be represented either in JSON or YAML format.
To describe a parameter, you specify its name , location ( in ), data type (defined by either schema or content ) and other attributes, such as description or required . Here is an example: paths: /users/{userId}:
OpenAPI Specification (formerly Swagger Specification) is an API description format for REST APIs. An OpenAPI file allows you to describe your entire API, including: Available endpoints ( /users ) and operations on each endpoint ( GET /users , POST /users ) Operation parameters Input and output for each operation.
Markdown is supported in the Swagger Editor. Below is an example of using Markdown in an OpenAPI (Swagger) document:
swagger: '2.0' info: version: 0.0.0 title: Markdown description: | # Heading Text attributes _italic_, *italic*, __bold__, **bold**, `monospace`. Horizontal rule: --- Bullet list: * apples * oranges * pears Numbered list: 1. apples 2. oranges 3. pears A [link](http://example.com). An image: ![Swagger logo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui/master/dist/favicon-32x32.png) Code block: ``` { "message": "Hello, world!" } ``` Tables: | Column1 | Column2 | | ------- | --------| | cell1 | cell2 | paths: /: get: responses: 200: description: OK
You can copy and paste the above example to the Swagger Editor to see the output.
