protoc-gen-openapi

This directory contains a protoc plugin that generates an OpenAPI description for a REST API that corresponds to a Protocol Buffer service.

This project is a simplification of the google/gnostic project, dedicated to providing a simple version of the protoc-gen-openapi

Installation:

go install github.com/pubgo/protoc-gen-openapi@latest

Usage:

protoc sample.proto -I=. --openapi_out=.

This runs the plugin for a file named sample.proto which refers to additional .proto files in the same directory as sample.proto. Output is written to the current directory.

options

1. version: version number text, e.g. 1.2.3
   • default: 0.0.1
2. title: name of the API
   • default: empty string or service name if there is only one service
3. description: description of the API
   • default: empty string or service description if there is only one service
4. naming: naming convention. Use "proto" for passing names directly from the proto files
   • default: json
   • json: will turn field updated_at to updatedAt
   • proto: keep field updated_at as it is
5. fq_schema_naming: schema naming convention. If "true", generates fully-qualified schema names by prefixing them with the proto message package name
   • default: false
   • false: keep message Book as it is
   • true: turn message Book to google.example.library.v1.Book, it is useful when there are same named message in different package
6. enum_type: type for enum serialization. Use "string" for string-based serialization
   • default: integer
   • integer: setting type to integer

     schema:
       type: integer
       format: enum

   • string: setting type to string, and list available values in enum

     schema:
       enum:
         - UNKNOWN_KIND
         - KIND_1
         - KIND_2
       type: string
       format: enum

7. depth: depth of recursion for circular messages
   • default: 2, this depth only used in query parameters, usually 2 is enough
8. default_response: add default response. If "true", automatically adds a default response to operations which use the google.rpc.Status message. Useful if you use envoy or grpc-gateway to transcode as they use this type for their default error responses.
   • default: true, this option will add this default response for each method as following:

     default:
       description: Default error response
         content:
           application/json:
             schema:
               $ref: '#/components/schemas/google.rpc.Status'
