Auto-Generate Swagger Docs in Asp.Net API Apps

This is a sample ASP.Net Web API application to demmonstrate how to use Swashbuckle to automatically generate Swagger 2.0 docs from ApiController types in the project.

##To Run This Example##

• Download the code to the local machine
• Open SwashApiTest.sln with Visual Studio 2015
• F5 to run the application. The home page will open in a browser
• Click Generate Swagger Doc on the top bar to see the generated Swagger document
• Click Swagger UI on the top bar to see the Swagger UI that can be used to try out the API calls

To Get Started with Swagger Doc Generation##

If you have an ASP.Net Web API application and want to add Swashbuckle support for Swagger doc generation,

• Add NuGet package Swashbuckle.Core to your project
• Copy, paste, and add folder SwashApiTest/Swagger to your project
• F5 to run your project. The generated Swagger doc should be at [root]/swagger/docs/2016-04-27dev. The exposed APIs in the Swagger doc are generated from ApiController type controllers.

##To Customize the Swagger Doc Generation##

With Swashbuckle, you can do a lot of customizations to your Swagger doc generation.

• Open Swagger/SwaggerConfig.cs, update the following to point your Swagger document to a host other than the default.

     //swaggerDoc.host = new Uri("http://swashapitest.azurewebsites.net/").Host;

• This will set your API name, version and description,

     c.SingleApiVersion("2016-04-27dev", "SwashApiTest").Description("Api test client for Swashbuckle");

• Currently, it is renaming XXXViewModel classes to XXXView, just for demonstration. You can change the code here for your own customization.

     defaultId = defaultId.Replace("ViewModel", "View");

• Open Swagger/SwaggerSchemaFilter.cs. There is a lot you can here. In the sample, there is code to filter out classes with namespace not starting with "SwashApiTest" and to strip trailing "Internal" out of enum definitions.

• Open Swagger/SwaggerDocumentFilter.cs. In the sample code, we are adding two global parameters to all calls, and adding a default reponse code to all responses, amoung others.

• F5 to run your project. The generated doc should be at [root]/swagger/docs/[your new api version]
