$ make install

You can install some pre-commit hooks to ensure you can't commit invalid spec changes by accident. These are also run in CI, but it's useful to run them locally too.

$ make install-hooks

Various scripts and commands rely on environment variables being set. These are documented with the commands.

💡 Consider using direnv to manage your environment variables during development and maintaining your own .envrc file - the values of these variables will be specific to you and/or sensitive.

There are make commands that alias some of this functionality:

• lint -- Lints the spec and code
• publish -- Outputs the specification as a single file into the build/ directory
• serve -- Serves a preview of the specification in human-readable format

• openapi-lint resolves links and validates entire spec with the 'OpenAPI Resolve and Validate' command
• OpenAPI (Swagger) Editor provides sidebar navigation

• openapi-yaml-mode provides syntax highlighting, completion, and path help

Speccy A handy toolkit for OpenAPI, with a linter to enforce quality rules, documentation rendering, and resolution.

Speccy does the lifting for the following npm scripts:

• test -- Lints the definition
• publish -- Outputs the specification as a single file into the build/ directory
• serve -- Serves a preview of the specification in human-readable format

(Workflow detailed in a post on the developerjack blog.)
