Want to have your API documented with OpenAPI? But you dont want to see the trouble with manual yaml or json tweaking? Would like it to be so easy that it would almost be like utopic? Don't worry utoipa is just there to fill this gap. It aims to do if not all then the most of heavy lifting for you enabling you to focus writing the actual API logic instead of documentation. It aims to be minimal, simple and fast. It uses simple proc macros which you can use to annotate your code to have items documented.
Utoipa crate provides autogenerated OpenAPI documentation for Rust REST APIs. It treats code first appoach as a first class citizen and simplifies API documentation by providing simple macros for generating the documentation from your code.
It also contains Rust types of OpenAPI spec allowing you to write the OpenAPI spec only using Rust if autogeneration is not your flavor or does not fit your purpose.
Long term goal of the library is to be the place to go when OpenAPI documentation is needed in Rust codebase.
The name comes from words utopic and api where uto is the first three letters of utopic
and the ipa is api reversed.
Add minimal dependency declaration to Cargo.toml.
[dependencies]
utoipa = "0.1.0.beta.4"
To enable more features such as use of swagger together with actix-web framework you could define the
dependency as follows.
[dependencies]
utoipa = { version = "0.1.0.beta.4", features = ["swagger_ui", "actix-web", "actix_extras"] }
This project is currently in active development and not ready for PRODUCTION use!
The basic features are nearly implemented and the it can handle the OpenApi generation in most typical situations. It is yet to be released to crates later on when the api and the functionalities gets mature enough. Before initial release there are going to be still couple of beta releases and one or few rc releases.
See https://github.com/juhaku/utoipa/projects for more details about the progress of the project implementation.
Create a struct or it could be an enum also. Add Component derive macro to it so it can be registered
as a component in OpenApi schema.
```rust
use utoipa::Component;
struct Pet {
id: u64,
name: String,
age: Option
Create an handler that would handle your business logic and add path proc attribute macro over it.
rust
mod pet_api {
/// Get pet by id
///
/// Get pet from database by pet id
#[utoipa::path(
get,
path = "/pets/{id}"
responses = [
(status = 200, description = "Pet found succesfully", body = Pet),
(status = 404, description = "Pet was not found")
],
params = [
("id" = u64, path, description = "Pet database id to get Pet for"),
]
)]
async fn get_pet_by_id(pet_id: u64) -> Pet {
Pet {
id: pet_id,
age: None,
name: "lightning".to_string(),
}
}
}
Tie the Component and the api above to the OpenApi schema with following OpenApi derive proc macro.
```rust
use utoipa::OpenApi;
use crate::Pet;
struct ApiDoc;
println!("{}", ApiDoc::openapi().toprettyjson().unwrap()); ```
This would produce api doc something similar to:
json
{
"openapi": "3.0.3",
"info": {
"title": "application name from Cargo.toml",
"description": "description from Cargo.toml",
"contact": {
"name": "author name from Cargo.toml",
"email":"author email from Cargo.toml"
},
"license": {
"name": "license from Cargo.toml"
},
"version": "version from Cargo.toml"
},
"paths": {
"/pets/{id}": {
"get": {
"tags": [
"pet_api"
],
"summary": "Get pet by id",
"description": "Get pet by id\n\nGet pet from database by pet id\n",
"operationId": "get_pet_by_id",

}
}
},

}
},

}
}
},
"components": {

],

},

},
"age": {

}
}
}
}
}
}
If you have swagger_ui and the actix-web features enabled you can display the openapi documentation
as easily as follows:
rust
HttpServer::new(move || {
App::new()
.service(
SwaggerUi::new("/swagger-ui/{_:.*}")
.with_url("/api-doc/openapi.json", ApiDoc::openapi()),
)
})
.bind(format!("{}:{}", Ipv4Addr::UNSPECIFIED, 8989))?
.run()
.await
See more details in swagger_ui module of utoipa docs.
