README

openapi2proto

This tool will accept an OpenAPI/Swagger definition (yaml or JSON) and generate a Protobuf v3 schema and gRPC service definition from it.

Install

To install, have Go installed with $GOPATH/bin on your $PATH and then:

go get -u github.com/NYTimes/openapi2proto/cmd/openapi2proto

Run

There are 4 CLI flags for using the tool:

• -spec to point to the appropriate OpenAPI spec file
• -annotate to include (google.api.http options) for grpc-gateway users. This is disabled by default.
• -out to have the output written to a file rather than Stdout. Defaults to Stdout if this is not specified.
• -indent to override the default indentation for Protobuf specs of 4 spaces.
• -skip-rpcs to skip generation of rpcs. These are generated by default.
• -namespace-enums to enable inserting the enum name as an enum prefix for each value. This is disabled by default.

Protobuf Tags

• To allow for more control over how your protobuf schema evolves, all parameters and property definitions will accept an optional extension parameter, x-proto-tag, that will overide the generated tag with the value supplied.

External Files

• Any externally referenced Open API spec will be fetched and inlined.
• Any externally referenced Protobuf files will be added as imports.
  • Example usage: $ref: "google/protobuf/timestamp.proto#/google.protobuf.Timestamp"

Global Options

Protocol Buffer options such as package names are supported via x-global-options key.

x-global-options:
  go_package: myawesomepackage

Will generate:

option go_package = "myawesomepackage"

Extensions

Global extensions may be generated by specifying x-extensions key.

x-extensions:
- base: google.protobuf.MethodOptions
  fields:
  - name: role
    type: string
    number: 50001
  - name: visibility
    type: string
    number: 50002
  - name: timeout
    type: int32
    number: 50003

Will generate:

extend google.protobuf.MethodOptions {
    string role = 50001;
    string visibility = 50002;
    int32 timeout = 50003;
}

Nested extensions are currently not supported.

Method Options

Method options may be generated by specifying the x-options key within each method.

paths:
  /foo
    post:
      x-options:
        bar: baz

Will generate:

    rpc foo(...) returns (...) {
      option (bar) = "baz";
    }

Caveats

• Fields with scalar types that can also be "null" will get wrapped with one of the google.protobuf.*Value types.
• Fields with that have more than 1 type and the second type is not "null" will be replaced with the google.protobuf.Any type.
• Endpoints that respond with an array will be wrapped with a message type that has a single field, 'items', that contains the array.
• Only "200" and "201" responses are inspected for determining the expected return value for RPC endpoints.
• To prevent enum collisions and to match the protobuf style guide, enum values will be CAPITALS_WITH_UNDERSCORES and nested enum values will have their parent types prepended to their names.

Functions

func Transpile

func Transpile(dst io.Writer, srcFn string, options ...Option) error

Transpile is a convenience function that takes an OpenAPI spec file and transpiles it into a Protocol Buffers v3 declaration, which is written to `dst`.

Options to the compiler and encoder can be passed using `WithCompilerOptions` and `WithEncoderOptions`, respectively

For more control, use `openapi`, `compiler`, and `protobuf` packages directly.

Types

type Option

type Option option.Option

Option is used to pass options to several methods

func WithCompilerOptions

func WithCompilerOptions(options ...compiler.Option) Option

WithCompilerOptions allows you to specify a list of options to `Transpile`, which gets passed to the protobuf.Compile method

func WithEncoderOptions

func WithEncoderOptions(options ...protobuf.Option) Option

WithEncoderOptions allows you to specify a list of options to `Transpile`, which gets passed to the protobuf.Encoder object.
