Docker

Development in docker

You can use run-in-docker.sh to do all development. This script maps your local repository to /gen in the docker container. It also maps ~/.m2/repository to the appropriate container location.

To execute mvn package:

git clone https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen
cd swagger-codegen
./run-in-docker.sh mvn package

Build artifacts are now accessible in your working directory.

Once built, run-in-docker.sh will act as an executable for swagger-codegen-cli. To generate code, you'll need to output to a directory under /gen (e.g. /gen/out). For example:

./run-in-docker.sh help # Executes 'help' command for swagger-codegen-cli
./run-in-docker.sh langs # Executes 'langs' command for swagger-codegen-cli
./run-in-docker.sh /gen/bin/go-petstore.sh  # Builds the Go client
./run-in-docker.sh generate -i modules/swagger-codegen/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml \
    -l go -o /gen/out/go-petstore -DpackageName=petstore # generates go client, outputs locally to ./out/go-petstore

Standalone generator Development in docker

Run Docker in Vagrant

Prerequisite: install Vagrant and VirtualBox.

git clone http://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen.git
cd swagger-codegen
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
cd /vagrant
./run-in-docker.sh mvn package

Public Pre-built Docker images

Swagger Generator Docker Image

The Swagger Generator image provides a ready to use web application (swagger-generator) providing code generation services.

Image accepts the following env variables:

JAVA_MEM e.g. 1024m
HTTP_PORT e.g. 8080
HIDDEN_OPTIONS_PATH (alternative to HIDDEN_OPTIONS): useful if attaching a volume containing a hiddenOptions.yaml file definining which languages to hide. e.g. /data/hiddenOptions.yaml
HIDDEN_OPTIONS (alternative to HIDDEN_OPTIONS_PATH): allows to pass hidden options as an env variable, in the format {category}:{language},{language},{language}|{category}:{language},{language},{language} e.g. servers:foo,bar|clientsV3:wtf,isthis where category can be clients, servers, clientsV3, serversV3

An example of running the container:

docker pull swaggerapi/swagger-generator-v3

docker run -e "HIDDEN_OPTIONS=servers:foo,bar|clientsV3:fgf,sdsd" -e "JAVA_MEM=1024m" -e "HTTP_PORT=80" -p 80:80 --name swagger-generator-v3 -v /tmp:/jetty_home/lib/shared swaggerapi/swagger-generator-v3

or

docker run -e "HIDDEN_OPTIONS_PATH=/hiddenOptions.yaml" -e "JAVA_MEM=1024m" -e "HTTP_PORT=80" -p 80:80 --name swagger-generator-v3 -v /tmp:/jetty_home/lib/shared swaggerapi/swagger-generator-v3

This docker image supports custom generators by dropping the generator jar into /jetty_home/lib/shared directory (typically via a docker volume); e.g having on host /my/custom/coolgenerator.jar and /my/custom/weirdgenerator.jar the following would have them added to generator service generators:

docker run -e "HIDDEN_OPTIONS_PATH=/hiddenOptions.yaml" -e "JAVA_MEM=1024m" -e "HTTP_PORT=80" -p 80:80 --name swagger-generator-v3 -v /my/custom:/jetty_home/lib/shared swaggerapi/swagger-generator-v3

Please note that up to version 3.0.20 you need to provide-v /{WHATEVER_DIR}:/jetty_home/lib/shared even if not using custom generators.

Swagger Generator "Minimal" Docker Image

The Swagger Generator "Minimal" image can act as a self-hosted web application and API for generating code.

This container can be incorporated into a CI pipeline, and requires some docker orchestration to access generated code.

Example usage:

# Start container and save the container id
CID=$(docker run -d swaggerapi/swagger-generator-v3-minimal)
# allow for startup
sleep 5
# Get the IP of the running container
GEN_IP=$(docker inspect --format '{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}'  $CID)
# Execute an HTTP request and store the download link
curl -X POST \
           http://localhost:8080/api/generate \
           -H 'content-type: application/json' \
           -d '{
           "specURL" : "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/master/examples/v3.0/petstore.yaml",
           "lang" : "jaxrs-jersey",
           "type" : "SERVER",
           "codegenVersion" : "V3"
         }' > result.zip
# Shutdown the swagger generator image
docker stop $CID && docker rm $CID

In the example above, result.zip will contain the generated client.

See also online generators.

Swagger Codegen CLI Docker Image

The Swagger Codegen image acts as a standalone executable. It can be used as an alternative to installing via homebrew, or for developers who are unable to install Java or upgrade the installed version.

To generate code with this image, you'll need to mount a local location as a volume.

Example:

docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/local swaggerapi/swagger-codegen-cli-v3 generate \
    -i http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json \
    -l go \
    -o /local/out/go

The generated code will be located under ./out/go in the current directory.
