# Validating API Description
|
|
|
|
If you want to follow adidas API design guidelines for REST APIs you MAY validate your OAS file using [Spectral](https://github.com/stoplightio/spectral) and the adidas ruleset file.
|
|
|
|
## Installing Spectral
|
|
|
|
To install Spectral you will need Node.js and a package manager (npm or yarn).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm install -g @stoplight/spectral
|
|
|
|
# OR
|
|
|
|
yarn global add @stoplight/spectral
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Docker
|
|
|
|
Spectral is also available as a Docker image, which can be handy for all sorts of things, like if you're contributing code to Spectral, want to integrate it into your CI build.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker run --rm -it stoplight/spectral lint "${url}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the file you want to lint is on your computer, you'll need to mount the directory where the file resides as a volume
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/tmp stoplight/spectral lint "/tmp/file.yaml"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using Spectral
|
|
|
|
Once installed Spectral, you can validate an OAS file (in YAML or JSON format) according to a given set of rules. Spectral has a predefined set of rules validating OpenAPI 2.x (Swagger) and OpenAPI 3.x files.
|
|
|
|
Spectral comes with a CLI and can be run from your command line:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
spectral lint <oas-file>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more details about how to utilize Spectral CLI you can check the CLI built-in help:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
spectral lint -h
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or go to the official [Spectral documentation](https://stoplight.io/p/docs/gh/stoplightio/spectral/docs/guides/cli.md).
|
|
|
|
Spectral can also be used from within JavaScript. For details on how to accomplish this, please refer to the [documentation](https://stoplight.io/p/docs/gh/stoplightio/spectral/docs/guides/javascript.md).
|
|
|
|
## Validating with Adidas API Guidelines
|
|
|
|
To check whether your API Specification complies with Adidas API Guidelines you will need the `.spectral.yaml` file from this repository ([here](https://github.com/adidas/api-guidelines/blob/master/.spectral.yml)).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
spectral lint <oas-file> -r <adidas-api-guidelines-folder>/.spectral.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Validation problems
|
|
|
|
Spectral defines 4 levels of problem severity:
|
|
|
|
1. error - the specification either does not pass standard YAML/JSON structure validation, standard OAS2/OAS3 validation or is not compliant with core adidas guidelines.
|
|
2. warning - the specification lacks certain important validation check (e.g. `hosts` for OAS2) which are not required, but you should be cautious about them.
|
|
3. information - there are some best practices which you did not implement in your specification and should consider doing so.
|
|
4. hint - you should be aware that there are some additional best practices which you can consider implementing in your specification.
|
|
|
|
Currently any problem of severity of error or warning will cause a failure status code of `1`. This means that any `error` or `warning` in your specification will prevent your CI/CD pipeline from succeeding. During design process you may want to ignore certain warnings, such as the runtime information (e.g. `hosts` or `servers`). In order to do that you can add a `--skip-rule` flag:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
spectral lint my-api-spec.yaml --skip-rule=protocol-https-only-oas3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
