# Publishing
|
||||
|
||||
## What
|
||||
|
||||
Publishing your documentation has never been easier. Stoplight has added:
|
||||
- New **Integrations** for Segment, Intercom, and Google Analytics to allow for traffic monitoring and additional analytics
|
||||
- New **Authorizations** to make sure your documentation is secure at all times. This includes basic user/password authentication and SSO provider integration, powered by Auth0, SAML, and more.
|
||||
- New **Builds** section for tracking published Hubs, including when a Hub was published, who published it, and under what domain.
|
||||
|
||||
Take that Gutenberg!
|
||||
|
||||
## Who
|
||||
|
||||
- **Organization Owners**, **Account Owners**, and **Administrators** can publish Hubs
|
||||
|
||||
## How
|
||||
|
||||
1. From the Stoplight editor, click on **Publish** in the far left-hand toolbar
|
||||
2. Input a **subdomain** under Stoplight's tech-docs.io domain
|
||||
- Or input a **custom domain** (optional)
|
||||
3. Once completed, click **Next ->**
|
||||
4. Select the Hub you wish to publish under **Hub File**
|
||||
5. Add Integrations to **Segment**, **Intercom**, and **Google Analytics** under Integrations (optional)
|
||||
6. Add security via **Username/Passwords Login**, **Auth0**, or **SAML** (optional)
|
||||
7. Once completed, click **Publish** in the top left
|

# Object Inheritance
|
||||
# Object Inheritance
|
||||
|
||||
## What
|
||||
- A **model** contains common resuable information that can be referenced in your endpoint definitions or other models in your API design.
|
||||
- When a model derives its properties from another model, the event is called **inheritance**.
|
||||
- The model which contains the common set of properties and fields becomes a parent to other models, and it is called the **base type**.
|
||||
- The model which inherits the common set of properties and fields is known as the **derived type**.
|
||||
- If a base type inherits its properties from another model, the derived type automatically inherits the same properties indicating that inheritance is **transitive**.
|
||||
- OpenAPI Specification v2 uses the **allOf** syntax to declare inheritance.
|
||||
- **allOf** obtains a collection of object definitions validated independently but, collectively make up a single object.
|
||||
## What
|
||||
|
||||
## Why
|
||||
- Inheritance makes your API design more compact. It helps avoid duplication of common properties and fields.
|
||||
* A **model** contains properties that can be reused and referenced by endpoint
|
||||
definitions, shared objects, and other models. For more information on what
|
||||
models are and how they can be used, please see the API model overview
|
||||
[here](./api-models.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
* **Inheritance** is when a model derives its properties from another model.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- theme: info -->
|
||||
> Avoid using contradictory declarations such as declaring properties with the samer name but dissimilar data type in your base model and derived model.
|
||||
* When a model inherits properties from another model, the model being inherited from is
|
||||
known as a **base type** (or parent). A model that is inheriting
|
||||
properties from a base type is known as a **derived type** (or child).
|
||||
|
||||
### Example
|
||||
* When a base type inherits properties from another model, any derived types
|
||||
will also automatically inherit the properties as well. For example, if model
|
||||
C is a derived type of model B, and model B is a derived type of model A, then
|
||||
model C is also a derived type of model A. In mathematics, this is known as
|
||||
the [transitive property](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_relation).
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
* To specify that a model should inherit from a base type, use the **allOf**
|
||||
option (under "Combination Types") when building the model. By specifying
|
||||
allOf and referencing the base type, the model will automatically inherit all
|
||||
of the parent model's properties. A model can also inherit from multiple base
|
||||
types as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why
|
||||
|
||||
* Inheritance makes your API design more compact. It helps avoid duplication of
|
||||
common properties and fields, reducing the complexity of the specification and the chance of errors.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Example
|
||||
|
||||
As an example, imagine you are creating an API that stores and categorizes
|
||||
different types of vehicles. To begin working on the API, you will need a base
|
||||
"car" model with a few attributes that are common across all vehicles. This
|
||||
might look similar to:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// the car base type
|
||||
{
|
||||
Vehicle:
|
||||
type: object
|
||||
properties:
|
||||
brand:
|
||||
type: string
|
||||
Sedan:
|
||||
allOf: # (This keyword combines the Vehicle model and the Sedan model)
|
||||
$ref: '#/definitions/Vehicle'
|
||||
type: object
|
||||
properties:
|
||||
isNew:
|
||||
type: boolean
|
||||
"type": "object",
|
||||
"properties": {
|
||||
// number of wheels
|
||||
"wheels": {
|
||||
"type": "integer"
|
||||
},
|
||||
// number of doors
|
||||
"doors": {
|
||||
"type": "integer"
|
||||
},
|
||||
// brand of car
|
||||
"make": {
|
||||
"type": "string"
|
||||
},
|
||||
// model of car
|
||||
"model": {
|
||||
"type": "string"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
<!--FIXME Insert image of creating model from UI -->
|
||||
|
||||
Now that we have a base type model, we now need a derived type that extends the
|
||||
base type. Since we're dealing with cars, let's create a model that defines a
|
||||
SUV type (or a Sport Utility Vehicle):
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// the SUV model
|
||||
{
|
||||
"allOf": [
|
||||
// a reference to the car base type
|
||||
{
|
||||
"$ref": "#/definitions/car"
|
||||
},
|
||||
// properties that are only applied to the SUV model
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "object",
|
||||
"properties": {
|
||||
// whether the vehicle can go "off road"
|
||||
"off-road": {
|
||||
"type": "boolean"
|
||||
},
|
||||
// the amount of ground clearance
|
||||
"ground-clearance": {
|
||||
"type": "integer"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
<!--FIXME Insert image of creating derived model in UI -->
|
||||
|
||||
As shown above, by wrapping our SUV model inside of an `allOf` block, we are
|
||||
able to include all of the properties that are included in the car base model
|
||||
above.
|
||||
|
||||
When fully de-referenced (the car reference is replaced with the car
|
||||
properties), the derived SUV model will have the following JSON properties:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "object",
|
||||
"properties": {
|
||||
// number of wheels

"wheels": {

|
||||
"type": "integer"

# Polymorphic Objects
|
||||
|
||||
## What
|
||||
|
||||
- Resources in your API are polymorphic. They can be returned as XML or JSON and can have a flexible amount of fields. You can also have requests and responses in your API design that can be depicted by a number of alternative schemas.
|
||||
- **Polymorphism** is the capacity to present the same interface for differing underlying forms.
|
||||
- The **discriminator** keyword is used to designate the name of the property that decides which schema definition validates the structure of the model.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why
|
||||
- Polymorphism permits combining and extending model definitions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- theme: warning -->
|
||||
>The discriminator property **must** be a mandatory or required field. When it is used, the value **must** be the name of the schema or any schema that inherits it.

# Shared Parameters and Responses
|
||||
|
||||
While designing API's in Stoplight, it is common to have multiple endpoints
|
||||
share a set of query parameters and API responses. To help reduce extra
|
||||
work (and the chance of introducing errors), it is important to:
|
||||
|
||||
* Identify endpoints with common parameters
|
||||
* Use _shared components_ to reference the same property multiple times instead
|
||||
of rewriting the properties for each individual endpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
Shared components in Stoplight come in two forms:
|
||||
|
||||
* __Parameters__ - These are shared parameters that can be applied to requests
|
||||
across multiple endpoints.
|
||||
|
||||
* __Responses__ - These are shared response objects that can be applied to
|
||||
multiple endpoints.
|
||||
|
||||
## Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
Shared parameters provide a way to use request properties across multiple API
|
||||
endpoints without having to duplicate effort.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Shared parameters are supported in the following request property locations:
|
||||
|
||||
* __path__ - The request URL path
|
||||
* __query__ - The request URL query string
|
||||
* __header__ - The request HTTP Header field object
|
||||
* __body__ - The request HTTP message body
|
||||
* __form-data__ - The request HTTP message body in the `multipart/form-data` format
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- theme: info -->
|
||||
> For more information the above properties, see the [OpenAPI v2 Specification](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/2.0.md#parameter-object)
|
||||
|
||||
Similar to generic request parameters, restrictions on the parameter values can
|
||||
also be applied based on type, expected default value, minimum/maximum length,
|
||||
and regular expression (regex).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
To use a shared parameter, navigate to an API endpoint's _Request_ section and
|
||||
create a reference to the shared parameter using the "chain" button as shown in
|
||||
the image above. Once the parameter has been referenced, any updates to the
|
||||
shared parameter will automatically be propagated to every endpoint using that
|
||||
parameter.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Like other references in Stoplight, shared parameters can also be shared across
|
||||
files, projects, and other external sources.
|
||||
|
||||
### Shared Parameters Example
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say you are creating an API to serve thousands of cooking recipes. When dealing with large volumes of
|
||||
data, you typically want to avoid sending _all_ data in a request. To help avoid
|
||||
sending more data than is necessary, most applications implement a "paging"
|
||||
feature that allows clients to retrieve a small portion of results (i.e. a single
|
||||
page).
|
||||
|
||||
There are multiple ways to approach a paging feature. For this example, we
|
||||
want to add two query string parameters to every request:
|
||||
|
||||
* `limit` - The number of results to return when viewing a page. For example,
|
||||
setting `limit` to `20` means that, at most, 20 results will be returned in the
|
||||
request.
|
||||
* `offset` - The number of results to skip before returning results. For
|
||||
example, setting an `offset` of `20` means that the API will discard the first
|
||||
20 results.
|
||||
|
||||
By using the two parameters above, a client can efficiently "page" through
|
||||
results, only returning items that are within the requested bounds. To demonstrate, let's use the parameters to display the first page of our recipe
|
||||
results:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /recipes?limit=20&offset=0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Since the `offset` is set to `0`, the API will not discard any results. Paired
|
||||
with a `limit` of `20`, we will only see the first 20 results (1 through 20).
|
||||
|
||||
To view the second page of recipes, we would use:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /recipes?limit=20&offset=20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By setting an `offset` of `20`, the API will discard the first 20 results. Paired
|
||||
again with a `limit` of `20`, we will see the second page of results (21 through
|
||||
40).
|
||||
|
||||
### How
|
||||
Now that we know how we want the components to behave, let's create them in
|
||||
Stoplight. To get started, create a new shared parameter for an OpenAPI file
|
||||
under the "Shared" section of the menu.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
As shown in the image above, set the properties for each parameter based on our
|
||||
requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Be sure to set the display names for both components properly. In our
|
||||
example, we only have two parameters, however, if there are multiple shared
|
||||
parameters with similar names, you may want to set a more descriptive name
|
||||
(i.e. 'recipe-limit' instead of 'limit').
|
||||
2. Since both components are query string parameters, set the property location
|
||||
for each as 'query'.
|
||||
3. Set the name of the parameter, which is how it will be set in HTTP requests.
|
||||
4. Optional type restrictions can be applied to the values. In our case, since
|
||||
both parameters are integer values, we can use the 'integer' format
|
||||
restriction.
|
||||
5. Setting a default value can be useful if you don't need the client to specify
|
||||
each parameter for every request. For our example, it makes sense to set
|
||||
defaults that will return the first page (limit of 20, offset of 0).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Once the shared parameters are created, reference them in any API endpoint under the
|
||||
__Query Parameters__ block of the request section in the editor.
|
||||
|
||||
## Shared Responses
|
||||
|
||||
Shared responses provide a practical way to re-use response objects across multiple API
|
||||
endpoints without having to duplicate effort. Similar to the shared components
|
||||
discussed above, shared responses allow you to reference a single response
|
||||
multiple times without having to recreate each response manually. The added
|
||||
benefit of this approach is that updates to the shared response object are
|
||||
automatically propagated to any endpoint using that object, no extra changes
|
||||
required.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Shared responses allow you to configure the following properties:
|
||||
|
||||
* Headers - Customize the HTTP Headers returned in the response
|
||||
* Response body - Customize the HTTP message body contents using the Stoplight
|
||||
modeling tool (or reference a pre-existing model)
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- theme: info -->
|
||||
> For more information on the above properties, see the OpenAPI v2 Specification
|
||||
[here](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/2.0.md#responseObject)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
To use a shared response, navigate to an API endpoint's __Response__ section and
|
||||
create a reference to the shared response by choosing the _Type_ of the response
|
||||
as "Reference". Once the Response type is set to "Reference", you can then
|
||||
choose the shared response to use for that endpoint. Shared responses can also
|
||||
be shared across files, projects, and other external sources.
|
||||
|
||||
### Shared Responses Example
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say you have a set of
|
||||
API endpoints that should return the same error response when a failure occurs.
|
||||
Every time an error is returned from the API, you want to make sure the
|
||||
following properties are returned:
|
||||
|
||||
* `error_message` - A descriptive error message about the failure in string format.
|
||||
* `error_code` - A code representing the category of the failure in integer format.
|
||||
* `tracking_id` - A tracking ID that can be used by the caller to follow-up with
|
||||
an administrator for more information (ie, debug an issue with customer
|
||||
support).
|
||||
|
||||
Now that we know what should be returned, let's create a shared response in
|
||||
Stoplight. To get started, create a new shared response for an OpenAPI file
|
||||
under the "Shared" section of the menu.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
As shown in the image above, set the properties for each portion of the response
|
||||
based on our requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Set the name of the shared response. In our example, we only have one error
|
||||
type, however, if there are multiple error responses with similar names, you
|
||||
may want to set a more descriptive name (ie, 'api-tracking-error' instead of
|
||||
'error').
|
||||
2. A short description of the error response, such as why it is needed and how
|
||||
it is used.
|
||||
3. The contents of the shared response object based on the three required
|
||||
properties above.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Once the shared response is created, it can be referenced in any API endpoint by
|
||||
using a _Reference_ type under a response. A shared response can also be used
|
||||
multiple times under the same endpoint.
