Customizing how OpenAPI spec is served

By default, LoopBack REST API server provides endpoints exposing an OpenAPI spec document describing application's API. You can configure this behavior using rest.openApiSpec field in the configuration object passed to RestApplication constructor.

• servers: Configure servers for OpenAPI spec

• setServersFromRequest: Set servers based on HTTP request headers, default to false

• disabled: Set to true to disable endpoints for the OpenAPI spec. It will disable API Explorer too.

• endpointMapping: Maps urls for various forms of the spec. Default to:

  jsCopy

  {
    '/openapi.json': {version: '3.0.0', format: 'json'},
    '/openapi.yaml': {version: '3.0.0', format: 'yaml'},
  }
  

Example application configuration object showing possible customizations:

{% include code-caption.html content="/src/index.ts" %}

const config: ApplicationConfig = {
    rest: {
    openApiSpec: {
      servers: [{url: 'http://127.0.0.1:8080'}],
      setServersFromRequest: false,
      endpointMapping: {
        '/openapi.json': {version: '3.0.0', format: 'json'},
        '/openapi.yaml': {version: '3.0.0', format: 'yaml'},
      },
    },
  };
});
