@codeJENNerator REST Maturity Model • I’m not really a fan of the right vs wrong REST debate, but I like this categorization of APIs. • Most of our APIS were level one or two, but we wanted to have the flexibility to use hypermedia • Spring REST docs includes support for level 3 / hypermedia • Swagger 2.0 did not support hypermedia. Swagger 3.0 (released end of July 2017) now does

@codeJENNerator Monolith vs Microservices • As architecture evolves, many companies move from a central monolith to micro services or maybe even gateways and multi-tiered architectures. • For documentation, it was important to have: • a consistent look and feel • a way to show how the services can work together

Slide 19

Slide 19 text

@codeJENNerator Central Information • Central Information • For example, security tokens, patterns for error messages, http verbs/status codes, etc • This information needs to be written out and defined once; not on every endpoint.

Slide 23

Slide 23 text

@codeJENNerator Central Information • Who’s seen this before? Of the people who have never used swagger before, how many understand what this means? Even our CTO who is technical, didn’t want to spend time figuring it out. Also, product teams. • This is a swagger ui example but the concept is not limited to Swagger. I have seen many different APIs document in this way. It’s not just URI centric, but also very developer centric. No matter whether you leave here choosing Swagger or Spring REST Docs, think about your users! • This is an example from Spring Rest Docs using Asciidoc. • Notice the very different way of organizing information on the second slide. Resource centric document design organizes information by topic and includes urls in the examples only. The information from generated solutions isn’t enough. We need the handwritten information too!

@codeJENNerator Swagger • Swagger is: — a lot of things • At the core, it is a way to standardize and define HTTP APIs over RPC. • It is very popular because of the many plugins built on top of it for things such as generating client libraries, generating docs, and much more. • In earlier versions, it did not support hypermedia. Documenting across micro services was possible, but required a bit of setup. Depending on the library, some central information is duplicated.

@codeJENNerator Adding The Snippets [[overview-errors]] == Errors Whenever an error response (status code >= 400) is returned, the body will contain a JSON object that describes the problem. The error object has the following structure: include::{snippets}/error-example/response-fields.adoc[] For example, a request that attempts to delete on the greetings endpoint will produce a `405 Method Not Allowed` response: operation::error-example[snippets='curl-request,http-request,http-response'] [[resources]] = Resources include::resources/greetings.adoc[]

@codeJENNerator Publishing Strategies • Hook in asciidoctor with the gradle build task • Run the asciidoctor test separately (but make sure to run AFTER the tests) • Send to static resources directory in the current app or send to a remote site (for example Github Pages

@codeJENNerator Conclusion

Slide 189

Slide 189 text

@codeJENNerator Conclusion • API documentation is complex • Choosing the right tool for the job not just about the easiest one to setup • Spring REST Docs is a promising tool to enforce good testing and documentation practices without muddying source code. • I still hate writing boilerplate documentation, but at least it’s a little less painful now.
