Required @SWG\Info() not found

Question

I'm pretty new to using Swagger. Since my project is with Laravel, I use Swaggerevel to document my API. During I tried to generate as follows,

./vendor/bin/swagger app/ -o storage/docs/api-docs.json

It shows that

[INFO] Required @SWG\Info() not found

    get /api/resource.json
-----------------------
1 operations documented
-----------------------
Written to /home/admin/api/gevme-api/storage/docs/api-docs.json

When I tried to access, It localhost:8000/docs, It properly show json api which I generated. But when I tried to access localhost:8000/api-docs, the same error message show again.

The problem is - you're missing the @SWG\Info block. It's a block which tells swagger some most common information about your API.

I usually put this in a separate controller which is rendering swagger JSON. Here's an example:

/**
 * @SWG\Swagger(
 *     schemes={"http","https"},
 *     host="api.host.com",
 *     basePath="/",
 *     @SWG\Info(
 *         version="1.0.0",
 *         title="This is my website cool API",
 *         description="Api description...",
 *         termsOfService="",
 *         @SWG\Contact(
 *             email="[email protected]"
 *         ),
 *         @SWG\License(
 *             name="Private License",
 *             url="URL to the license"
 *         )
 *     ),
 *     @SWG\ExternalDocumentation(
 *         description="Find out more about my website",
 *         url="http..."
 *     )
 * )
 */
