The swagger validator is a basic tool to check whether our
openapi specification file follows the basic syntax. But to ensure
that our zulip.yaml file is not only syntactically compatible but
also describes our API well, we need to add custom tests. This
commit currently checks whether each endpoint has an `operationId`
and a valid tag. It also makes it easier to check for custom rules
in the future.
This refactors render_javascript_code_example to avoid shelling out to
node and parse the javascript file with python instead, to get example
code snippets.
This commit adds python code to call javascript_examples.js in its
two supported modes. tools/test-api asserts that the example output
is as expected, whereas the API markdown extension is used to render
these examples in the docs.
This refactors `extract_code_example` to return a nested list
of code snippets between '{code_example|start/end}' instead of
returing a list of all the lines between '{code_example|start/end}'
markers in the code examples.
Appropriate changes have been made to render_python_code_example.
This refactors `ExamplesHandler` to avoid running examples in a loop
and add result objects to `response_data` array one by one with
`generate_validation_data`.
This file will act as the container for all JS API examples to use
in our documentation, similar to our python and curl API testing
and examples generation code.
This module has two modes of operation:
- node javascript_examples.js generate-responses
This mode runs all the examples against a server and prints the JSON
output of all the examples we ran.
- node javascript_examples.js generate-example <endpoint>
This mode prints example code for endpoints like: /users:post. We then
want to render this full example code in our docs.
'tags' attribute is helpful in differentiating and grouping the
endpoints on basis of their usage. For example tags like 'messages'
help in grouping all endpoints related to messages and thus make the
api specification more user-friendly. So give tags to the endpoints
on the basis of what heading they are under in the API docs.
'operationId' helps code generators in naming functions and other purposes.
So name operationId of endpoints as their function names in python-zulip-api
if it exists else use most appropriate function name.
Part of #14100 .
Zulip's openapi specification in zulip.yaml has various examples
for various schemas. Validate the example with their respective
schemas to ensure that all the examples are schematically correct.
Part of #14100.
Some examples mentioned in zulip.yaml did not match their schema.
Change either the schema or the example so that all examples are
valid with respect to their schemas.
Previously api_description and api_code_examples were two independent
markdown extensions for displaying OpenAPI content used in the same
places. We combine them into a single markdown extension (with two
processors) and move them to the openapi folder to make the codebase
more readable and better group the openapi code in the same place.
To facilitate re-use of the same parameters in other paths, this commit
store the content of the parameter "include_custom_profile_fields" in
components.
To facilitate re-use of the same parameters in other paths, this commit
store the content of the parameter "history_public_to_subscribers" in
components.
For privacy-minded folks who don't want to leak the
information of whether they're online, this adds an
option to disable sending presence updates to other
users.
The new settings lies in the "Other notification
settings" section of the "Notification settings"
page, under a "Presence" subheading.
Closes#14798.
I imagine this can be improved in various ways, but I've initialized
this with all the **Changes** entries recorded in either zulip.yaml or
the rest of the API documentation, and I expect we'll be able to
iterate on this effectively.
It'll also be useful as a record of changes that we should remember to
document the API documentation as we document more endpoints that
currently don't discuss these issues.
While working on this, I fixed various issues where feature levels
could be mentioned or endpoints didn't properly document changes.
Firstly, change endpoint descriptions in zulip.yaml so that they
match their counterpart in the api docs. Then edit the api docs
so that they use api description markdown extension for displaying
endpoint description.
Add function in openapi.py to access endpoint descriptions written
in zulip.yaml. Use this function for creating a markdown extension
for rendering endpoint descriptions written in zulip.yaml.
We use this extension for a single endpoint to get test coverage.
Includes this change:
* openapi/python_examples: Update get_single_user.
This updates get_single_user to pass keyword arguments to
get_user_by_id instead of passing a dictionary.
Which is required for CI to pass, as we indeed fixed the API of that
function (which had only been present with the wrong API for one release).
The purpose is to provide a way for (non-webapp) clients,
like the mobile and terminal apps, to tell whether the
server it's talking to is new enough to support a given
API feature -- in particular a way that
* is finer-grained than release numbers, so that for
features developed after e.g. 2.1.0 we can use them
immediately on servers deployed from master (like
chat.zulip.org and zulipchat.com) without waiting the
months until a 2.2 release;
* is reliable, unlike e.g. looking at the number of
commits since a release;
* doesn't lead to a growing bag of named feature flags
which the server has to go on sending forever.
Tweaked by tabbott to extend the documentation.
Closes#14618.
