JSPM

Tooling for converting, valiating, and parsing OpenAPI, Swagger, and Postman API definitions

Installation

npm install oas-normalize

Usage

import OASNormalize from 'oas-normalize';
// const { default: OASNormalize } = require('oas-normalize'); // If you're using CJS.

const oas = new OASNormalize(
  'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/master/examples/v3.0/petstore-expanded.yaml'
  // ...or a string, path, JSON blob, whatever you've got.
);

oas
  .validate()
  .then(definition => {
    // Definition will always be JSON, and valid.
    console.log(definition);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
  });

#bundle()

Note

Because Postman collections don't support $ref pointers, this method will automatically upconvert a Postman collection to OpenAPI if supplied one.

Bundle up the given API definition, resolving any external $ref pointers in the process.

await oas.bundle().then(definition => {
  console.log(definition);
});

#deref()

Note

Because Postman collections don't support $ref pointers, this method will automatically upconvert a Postman collection to OpenAPI if supplied one.

Dereference the given API definition, resolving all $ref pointers in the process.

await oas.deref().then(definition => {
  console.log(definition);
});

#validate({ convertToLatest?: boolean })

Validate and optionally convert to OpenAPI, a given API definition. This supports Swagger 2.0, OpenAPI 3.x API definitions as well as Postman 2.x collections.

Please note that if you've supplied a Postman collection to the library it will always be converted to OpenAPI, using postman-to-openapi, and we will only validate resulting OpenAPI definition.

await oas.validate().then(definition => {
  console.log(definition);
});

Options

Error Handling

For validation errors, when available, you'll get back an object:

{
  "details": [
    // Ajv pathing errors. For example:
    /* {
      "instancePath": "/components/securitySchemes/tlsAuth",
      "schemaPath": "#/properties/securitySchemes/patternProperties/%5E%5Ba-zA-Z0-9%5C.%5C-_%5D%2B%24/oneOf",
      "keyword": "oneOf",
      "params": { "passingSchemas": null },
      "message": "must match exactly one schema in oneOf"
    }, */
  ]
}

message is almost always there, but path is less dependable.

#version()

Load and retrieve version information about a supplied API definition.

await oas.version().then(({ specification, version }) => {
  console.log(specification); // openapi
  console.log(version); // 3.1.0
});

Options

Enable local paths

For security reasons, you need to opt into allowing fetching by a local path. To enable it supply the enablePaths option to the class instance:

const oas = new OASNormalize('./petstore.json', { enablePaths: true });

Colorized errors

If you wish errors from .validate() to be styled and colorized, supply colorizeErrors: true to your instance of OASNormalize:

const oas = new OASNormalize('https://example.com/petstore.json', {
  colorizeErrors: true,
});

Error messages will look like such:
