Standalone swagger.json generation

Basics

If you would prefer not to make your Swagger definitions available as a Nancy route, you can also generate the swagger.json at server startup time:

Example

Generating a string holding the contents of your swagger.json is as easy as extending your Nancy bootstrapper:

public class ExampleBootstrapper : DefaultNancyBootstrapper
{
    private bool hasRun = false;

    protected override void ConfigureRequestContainer(TinyIoCContainer container, NancyContext context)
    {
        base.ConfigureRequestContainer(container, context);

        if (!hasRun)
        {
            var provider = container.Resolve<ISwaggerMetadataProvider>();
            var swaggerJson = provider.GetSwaggerJson(context);
            File.WriteAllText("swagger.json", swaggerJson.ToJson());
            hasRun = true;
        }
    }
}
