README

openapi-markdown

npm Build Status Maintainability

CLI script to turn swagger/OpenAPI yaml into markdown files. Primarily supports swagger 2.0, with some OpenAPI 3.0 features.

Installation

npm install -g openapi-markdown

Usage

openapi-markdown [-h] [-v] -i [-o] [--skip-info]

Options:
  -h, --help      Show this help message and exit.
  -v, --version   Show program's version number and exit.
  -i , --input    Path to the openapi yaml file
  -o , --output   Path to the resulting md file
  --skip-info     Skip the title, description, version etc, whatever is in the info block.

Npx (requires no installation)

npx openapi-markdown -i ./basic-auth.yaml

Example:

openapi-markdown -i path/to/openapi/file.yaml

By default it will create the new file within the same directory with the same name as openapi file but with .md extension. So, if openapi file is placed in project/api-doc/openapi.yaml the new file will be created as project/api-doc/openapi.md

You can also use it as a npm script in your package.json:

npm i --save-dev openapi-markdown

{
  "scripts": {
    "md-docs": "openapi-markdown -i path/to/openapi.yaml"
    //...
  }
}

npm run md-docs
