API Contract
This directory contains the source YMLs used to drive code generation of HTTP clients in api
.
YML Structure
Most YMLs used here are pulled from the source-of-truth openapi
repo via a git
submodule. In rare cases, the full description of an API is too complex for our codegen tooling to handle;
the overrides/
directory contains alternate definitions for paths/schemas that work around these cases.
cli.yml
ties together all the pieces by linking all routes and schemas used by the CLI.
Updating the API contract
To extend/modify the API contract used by the CLI, first make sure the openapi
submodule is cloned and up-to-date:
# Run from the project root.
git submodule update --init --recursive
Then create a new branch to track your work:
git checkout <new-branch-name>
Next, decide if any modifications are needed in the source-of-truth openapi
repo. If so, create a branch in the
submodule to track changes there:
cd api/contract/openapi && git checkout -b <new-branch-name>
Edit/add to the files under api-contract/
to describe the new API contract. Run the following from the project
root test your changes and see the outputs in Go code:
make openapi
# Use `git status` to see new/modified files under `api`
Once you're happy with the new API contract, submit your changes for review & merge.
If you added/edited files within openapi
, you'll first need to:
- Push your submodule branch to GitHub
cd api/contract/openapi && git push <your-branch-name>
- Create a PR in
openapi
, eventually merge tomaster
there - Update your submodule to point at the merge result:
cd api/contract/openapi && git fetch && git checkout master && git pull origin master
- Update the submodule reference from the main repo:
git add api/contract/openapi git commit
