# Some recipes
## Validating an OpenAPI document
```shell
go run github.com/getkin/kin-openapi/cmd/validate@latest [--circular] [--defaults] [--examples] [--ext] [--patterns] -- <local YAML or JSON file>
```

## Loading OpenAPI document
Use `openapi3.Loader`, which resolves all references:
```go
loader := openapi3.NewLoader()
doc, err := loader.LoadFromFile("my-openapi-spec.json")
```

## Getting OpenAPI operation that matches request
```go
loader := openapi3.NewLoader()
doc, _ := loader.LoadFromData([]byte(`...`))
_ = doc.Validate(loader.Context)
router, _ := gorillamux.NewRouter(doc)
route, pathParams, _ := router.FindRoute(httpRequest)
// Do something with route.Operation
```

## Validating HTTP requests/responses
```go
package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/getkin/kin-openapi/openapi3"
	"github.com/getkin/kin-openapi/openapi3filter"
	"github.com/getkin/kin-openapi/routers/gorillamux"
)

func main() {
	ctx := context.Background()
	loader := &openapi3.Loader{Context: ctx, IsExternalRefsAllowed: true}
	doc, _ := loader.LoadFromFile(".../My-OpenAPIv3-API.yml")
	// Validate document
	_ = doc.Validate(ctx)
	router, _ := gorillamux.NewRouter(doc)
	httpReq, _ := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "/items", nil)

	// Find route
	route, pathParams, _ := router.FindRoute(httpReq)

	// Validate request
	requestValidationInput := &openapi3filter.RequestValidationInput{
		Request:    httpReq,
		PathParams: pathParams,
		Route:      route,
	}
	_ = openapi3filter.ValidateRequest(ctx, requestValidationInput)

	// Handle that request
	// --> YOUR CODE GOES HERE <--
	responseHeaders := http.Header{"Content-Type": []string{"application/json"}}
	responseCode := 200
	responseBody := []byte(`{}`)

	// Validate response
	responseValidationInput := &openapi3filter.ResponseValidationInput{
		RequestValidationInput: requestValidationInput,
		Status:                 responseCode,
		Header:                 responseHeaders,
	}
	responseValidationInput.SetBodyBytes(responseBody)
	_ = openapi3filter.ValidateResponse(ctx, responseValidationInput)
}
```

## Custom content type for body of HTTP request/response

By default, the library parses a body of the HTTP request and response of [a few content types](https://github.com/getkin/kin-openapi/blob/6da871e0e170b7637eb568c265c08bc2b5d6e7a3/openapi3filter/req_resp_decoder.go#L1264) e.g. `"text/plain"` or `"application/json"`.
To support other content types you must register decoders for them:

```go
func main() {
	// ...

	// Register a body's decoder for content type "application/xml".
	openapi3filter.RegisterBodyDecoder("application/xml", xmlBodyDecoder)

	// Now you can validate HTTP request that contains a body with content type "application/xml".
	requestValidationInput := &openapi3filter.RequestValidationInput{
		Request:    httpReq,
		PathParams: pathParams,
		Route:      route,
	}
	if err := openapi3filter.ValidateRequest(ctx, requestValidationInput); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// ...

	// And you can validate HTTP response that contains a body with content type "application/xml".
	if err := openapi3filter.ValidateResponse(ctx, responseValidationInput); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

func xmlBodyDecoder(body io.Reader, h http.Header, schema *openapi3.SchemaRef, encFn openapi3filter.EncodingFn) (decoded any, err error) {
	// Decode body to a primitive, []any, or map[string]any.
}
```

## Custom function to check uniqueness of array items

By default, the library checks unique items using the following predefined function:

```go
func isSliceOfUniqueItems(xs []any) bool {
	s := len(xs)
	m := make(map[string]struct{}, s)
	for _, x := range xs {
		key, _ := json.Marshal(&x)
		m[string(key)] = struct{}{}
	}
	return s == len(m)
}
```

In the predefined function `json.Marshal` is used to generate a string that can
be used as a map key which is to check the uniqueness of an array
when the array items are objects or arrays. You can register
you own function according to your input data to get better performance:

```go
func main() {
	// ...

	// Register a customized function used to check uniqueness of array.
	openapi3.RegisterArrayUniqueItemsChecker(arrayUniqueItemsChecker)

	// ... other validate codes
}

func arrayUniqueItemsChecker(items []any) bool {
	// Check the uniqueness of the input slice
}
```

## Custom function to change schema error messages

By default, the error message returned when validating a value includes the error reason, the schema, and the input value.

For example, given the following schema:

```json
{
  "type": "string",
  "allOf": [
    { "pattern": "[A-Z]" },
    { "pattern": "[a-z]" },
    { "pattern": "[0-9]" },
    { "pattern": "[!@#$%^&*()_+=-?~]" }
  ]
}
```

Passing the input value `"secret"` to this schema will produce the following error message:

```
string doesn't match the regular expression "[A-Z]"
Schema:
  {
    "pattern": "[A-Z]"
  }

Value:
  "secret"
```

Including the original value in the error message can be helpful for debugging, but it may not be appropriate for sensitive information such as secrets.

To disable the extra details in the schema error message, you can set the `openapi3.SchemaErrorDetailsDisabled` option to `true`:

```go
func main() {
	// ...

	// Disable schema error detailed error messages
	openapi3.SchemaErrorDetailsDisabled = true

	// ... other validate codes
}
```

This will shorten the error message to present only the reason:

```
string doesn't match the regular expression "[A-Z]"
```

For more fine-grained control over the error message, you can pass a custom `openapi3filter.Options` object to `openapi3filter.RequestValidationInput` that includes a `openapi3filter.CustomSchemaErrorFunc`.

```go
func validationOptions() *openapi3filter.Options {
	options := &openapi3filter.Options{}
	options.WithCustomSchemaErrorFunc(safeErrorMessage)
	return options
}

func safeErrorMessage(err *openapi3.SchemaError) string {
	return err.Reason
}
```

This will change the schema validation errors to return only the `Reason` field, which is guaranteed to not include the original value.

## Reconciling component $ref types

`ReferencesComponentInRootDocument` is a useful helper function to check if a component reference
coincides with a reference in the root document's component objects fixed fields.

This can be used to determine if two schema definitions are of the same structure, helpful for
code generation tools when generating go type models.

```go
doc, err = loader.LoadFromFile("openapi.yml")

for _, path := range doc.Paths.InMatchingOrder() {
	pathItem := doc.Paths.Find(path)

	if pathItem.Get == nil || pathItem.Get.Responses.Status(200) {
		continue
	}

	for _, s := range pathItem.Get.Responses.Status(200).Value.Content {
		name, match := ReferencesComponentInRootDocument(doc, s.Schema)
		fmt.Println(path, match, name) // /record true #/components/schemas/BookRecord
	}
}
```

## CHANGELOG: Sub-v1 breaking API changes

### v0.135.0
* `openapi3.MediaType.Encoding` field type changed from `map[string]*Encoding` to `Encodings`
* `openapi3.Server.Variables` field type changed from `map[string]*ServerVariable` to `ServerVariables`

### v0.134.0
* `openapi3.Location` gained `File` and `Name` fields (`string` type, replacing previous `int`-only struct layout)
* `openapi3.Origin` gained `Sequences` field (`map[string][]Location`, extending previous `map[string]Location`-only struct)

### v0.131.0
* No longer `openapi3filter.RegisterBodyDecoder` the `openapi3filter.ZipFileBodyDecoder` by default.

### v0.129.0
* `openapi3.Discriminator.Mapping` and `openapi3.OAuthFlow.Scopes` fields went from a `map[string]string` to the new type `StringMap`

### v0.127.0
* Downgraded `github.com/gorilla/mux` dep from `1.8.1` to `1.8.0`.

### v0.126.0
* `openapi3.CircularReferenceError` and `openapi3.CircularReferenceCounter` are removed. `openapi3.Loader` now implements reference backtracking, so any kind of circular references should be properly resolved.
* `InternalizeRefs` now takes a refNameResolver that has access to `openapi3.T` and more properties of the reference needing resolving.
* The `DefaultRefNameResolver` has been updated, choosing names that will be less likely to collide with each other. Because of this internalized specs will likely change slightly.
* `openapi3.Format` and `openapi3.FormatCallback` are removed and the type of `openapi3.SchemaStringFormats` has changed.

### v0.125.0
* The `openapi3filter.ErrFunc` and `openapi3filter.LogFunc` func types now take the validated request's context as first argument.

### v0.124.0
* `openapi3.Schema.Type` & `openapi2.Parameter.Type` fields went from a `string` to the type `*Type` with methods: `Includes`, `Is`, `Permits` & `Slice`.

### v0.122.0
* `Paths` field of `openapi3.T` is now a pointer
* `Responses` field of `openapi3.Operation` is now a pointer
* `openapi3.Paths` went from `map[string]*PathItem` to a struct with an `Extensions` field and methods: `Set`, `Value`, `Len`, `Map`, and `New*`.
* `openapi3.Callback` went from `map[string]*PathItem` to a struct with an `Extensions` field and methods: `Set`, `Value`, `Len`, `Map`, and `New*`.
* `openapi3.Responses` went from `map[string]*ResponseRef` to a struct with an `Extensions` field and methods: `Set`, `Value`, `Len`, `Map`, and `New*`.
* `(openapi3.Responses).Get(int)` renamed to `(*openapi3.Responses).Status(int)`

### v0.121.0
* Introduce `openapi3.RequestBodies` (an alias on `map[string]*openapi3.ResponseRef`) and use it in place of `openapi3.Responses` for field `openapi3.Components.Responses`.

### v0.116.0
* Dropped `openapi3filter.DefaultOptions`. Use `&openapi3filter.Options{}` directly instead.

### v0.113.0
* The string format `email` has been removed by default. To use it please call `openapi3.DefineStringFormat("email", openapi3.FormatOfStringForEmail)`.
* Field `openapi3.T.Components` is now a pointer.
* Fields `openapi3.Schema.AdditionalProperties` and `openapi3.Schema.AdditionalPropertiesAllowed` are replaced by `openapi3.Schema.AdditionalProperties.Schema` and `openapi3.Schema.AdditionalProperties.Has` respectively.
* Type `openapi3.ExtensionProps` is now just `map[string]any` and extensions are accessible through the `Extensions` field.

### v0.112.0
* `(openapi3.ValidationOptions).ExamplesValidationDisabled` has been unexported.
* `(openapi3.ValidationOptions).SchemaFormatValidationEnabled` has been unexported.
* `(openapi3.ValidationOptions).SchemaPatternValidationDisabled` has been unexported.

### v0.111.0
* Changed `func (*_) Validate(ctx context.Context) error` to `func (*_) Validate(ctx context.Context, opts ...ValidationOption) error`.
* `openapi3.WithValidationOptions(ctx context.Context, opts *ValidationOptions) context.Context` prototype changed to `openapi3.WithValidationOptions(ctx context.Context, opts ...ValidationOption) context.Context`.

### v0.101.0
* `openapi3.SchemaFormatValidationDisabled` has been removed in favour of an option `openapi3.EnableSchemaFormatValidation()` passed to `openapi3.T.Validate`. The default behaviour is also now to not validate formats, as the OpenAPI spec mentions the `format` is an open value.

### v0.84.0
* The prototype of `openapi3gen.NewSchemaRefForValue` changed:
	* It no longer returns a map but that is still accessible under the field `(*Generator).SchemaRefs`.
	* It now takes in an additional argument (basically `doc.Components.Schemas`) which gets written to so `$ref` cycles can be properly handled.

### v0.61.0
* Renamed `openapi2.Swagger` to `openapi2.T`.
* Renamed `openapi2conv.FromV3Swagger` to `openapi2conv.FromV3`.
* Renamed `openapi2conv.ToV3Swagger` to `openapi2conv.ToV3`.
* Renamed `openapi3.LoadSwaggerFromData` to `openapi3.LoadFromData`.
* Renamed `openapi3.LoadSwaggerFromDataWithPath` to `openapi3.LoadFromDataWithPath`.
* Renamed `openapi3.LoadSwaggerFromFile` to `openapi3.LoadFromFile`.
* Renamed `openapi3.LoadSwaggerFromURI` to `openapi3.LoadFromURI`.
* Renamed `openapi3.NewSwaggerLoader` to `openapi3.NewLoader`.
* Renamed `openapi3.Swagger` to `openapi3.T`.
* Renamed `openapi3.SwaggerLoader` to `openapi3.Loader`.
* Renamed `openapi3filter.ValidationHandler.SwaggerFile` to `openapi3filter.ValidationHandler.File`.
* Renamed `routers.Route.Swagger` to `routers.Route.Spec`.

### v0.51.0
* Type `openapi3filter.Route` moved to `routers` (and `Route.Handler` was dropped. See https://github.com/getkin/kin-openapi/issues/329)
* Type `openapi3filter.RouteError` moved to `routers` (so did `ErrPathNotFound` and `ErrMethodNotAllowed` which are now `RouteError`s)
* Routers' `FindRoute(...)` method now takes only one argument: `*http.Request`
* `getkin/kin-openapi/openapi3filter.Router` moved to `getkin/kin-openapi/routers/legacy`
* `openapi3filter.NewRouter()` and its related `WithSwaggerFromFile(string)`, `WithSwagger(*openapi3.Swagger)`, `AddSwaggerFromFile(string)` and `AddSwagger(*openapi3.Swagger)` are all replaced with a single `<router package>.NewRouter(*openapi3.Swagger)`
	* NOTE: the `NewRouter(doc)` call now requires that the user ensures `doc` is valid (`doc.Validate() != nil`). This used to be asserted.

### v0.47.0
Field `(*openapi3.SwaggerLoader).LoadSwaggerFromURIFunc` of type `func(*openapi3.SwaggerLoader, *url.URL) (*openapi3.Swagger, error)` was removed after the addition of the field `(*openapi3.SwaggerLoader).ReadFromURIFunc` of type `func(*openapi3.SwaggerLoader, *url.URL) ([]byte, error)`.
