Edit on GitHub

This document describes how to integrate the Glue documentation generation into a Spryker project.

Install feature core

Follow the steps below to install the Glue documentation generation.

Prerequisites

To start the integration of the feature, overview and install the necessary features:

src/Pyz/Glue/Console/ConsoleDependencyProvider.php

<?php

namespace Pyz\Glue\Console;

use Spryker\Glue\Console\ConsoleDependencyProvider as SprykerConsoleDependencyProvider;
use Spryker\Glue\DocumentationGeneratorApi\Plugin\Console\ApiGenerateDocumentationConsole;
use Spryker\Glue\Kernel\Container;

class ConsoleDependencyProvider extends SprykerConsoleDependencyProvider
{
    /**
     * @param \Spryker\Glue\Kernel\Container $container
     *
     * @return array<\Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command>
     */
    protected function getConsoleCommands(Container $container): array

“Verification”

    protected function getContextExpanderPlugins(ContextExpanderCollectionInterface $contextExpanderCollection): ContextExpanderCollectionInterface
    {
        $apiApplications = [];
        foreach ($this->getApiApplicationProviderPlugins() as $apiApplicationProviderPlugin) {
            $apiApplications[] = $apiApplicationProviderPlugin->getName();
        }
        $contextExpanderCollection->addApplications($apiApplications);

        $contextExpanderCollection->addExpander(new StorefrontResourcesContextExpanderPlugin(), [static::GLUE_STOREFRONT_API_APPLICATION_NAME]);
        $contextExpanderCollection->addExpander(new StorefrontCustomRoutesContextExpanderPlugin(), [static::GLUE_STOREFRONT_API_APPLICATION_NAME]);
        $contextExpanderCollection->addExpander(new RelationshipPluginsContextExpanderPlugin(), [static::GLUE_STOREFRONT_API_APPLICATION_NAME]);
        $contextExpanderCollection->addExpander(new BackendResourcesContextExpanderPlugin(), [static::GLUE_BACKEND_API_APPLICATION_NAME]);
        $contextExpanderCollection->addExpander(new BackendCustomRoutesContextExpanderPlugin(), [static::GLUE_BACKEND_API_APPLICATION_NAME]);

    }
}

If the second parameter array $apiApplications for $contextExpanderCollection->addExpander() inside DocumentationGeneratorApiDependencyProvider::getContextExpanderPlugins() is not passed, the expander will apply for all existing applications.

“Verification”

In order to make sure that StorefrontApiApplicationProviderPlugin and BackendApiApplicationProviderPlugin are setup correctly, attempt to generate the documentation for storerfront or backend. Do so by passing the optional --application parameter:

vendor/bin/glue api:generate:documentation --application storefront

Make sure only the “storefront” application documentation was generated.


Make sure DocumentationGeneratorOpenApiSchemaFormatterPlugin works by inspecting the content of the generated documentation. It should contain relevant information in the following sections:

  • info
  • servers
  • tags

A sure sign that JsonApiSchemaFormatterPlugin and RestApiSchemaFormatterPlugin are setup correctly are the content types on the responses of the paths being correct.


ContextExpanderPlugins are responsible for adding parts of the API data into the documentation generation context.
