itty-router-openapi

This library provides an easy and compact OpenAPI 3 schema generator and validator for Cloudflare Workers.

itty-router-openapi is built on top of itty-router and extends some of its core features, such as adding class-based endpoints. It also provides a simple and iterative path for migrating from old applications based on itty-router.

A template repository is available at cloudflare/templates, with a live demo here.

There is a Tutorial Section available here!

Features

Drop-in replacement for existing itty-router applications
OpenAPI 3 schema generator
Fully written in typescript
Class-based endpoints
Query parameters validator
Path parameters validator
Body request validator
Out of the box OpenAI plugin support

Installation

npm i @cloudflare/itty-router-openapi --save

Basic Usage

Creating a new OpenAPI route is simple:

Create a new class that extends the base Route.
Fill your schema parameters.
Add your code to the handle function.

In the example below, the ToDoList route will have an Integer parameter called page that will be validated before calling the handle() function.

Then the page number will be available inside the handle() function in the data object passed in the argument.

Take notice that the data object is always the last argument that the handle() function receives.

If you try to send a value that is not an Integer in this field, a ValidationError will be raised, and the Route will internally convert into a readable HTTP 400 error.

Endpoints can return both Response instances or an object that internally will be returned as a JSON Response.

import { OpenAPIRoute, Query, Int, Str } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

export class ToDoList extends OpenAPIRoute {
  static schema = {
    tags: ['ToDo'],
    summary: 'List all ToDos',
    parameters: {
      page: Query(Int, {
        description: 'Page number',
        default: 1,
        required: false,
      }),
    },
    responses: {
      '200': {
        schema: {
          currentPage: 1,
          nextPage: 2,
          results: ['lorem'],
        },
      },
    },
  }

  async handle(
    request: Request,
    env: any,
    context: any,
    data: Record<string, any>
  ) {
    const { page } = data

    return {
      currentPage: page,
      nextPage: page + 1,
      results: ['lorem', 'ipsum'],
    }
  }
}

Then, ideally in a different file, you can register the routes normally:

import { OpenAPIRouter } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

const router = OpenAPIRouter()
router.get('/todos', ToDoList)

// 404 for everything else
router.all('*', () => new Response('Not Found.', { status: 404 }))

export default {
  fetch: router.handle,
}

Now wrangler dev and go to /docs or /redocs with your browser. You'll be greeted with an OpenAPI UI that you can use to call your endpoints.

Migrating from existing `itty-router` applications

All it takes is changing one line of code. After installing itty-router-openapi replace Router with the new OpenAPIRouter function.

// Old router
//import { Router } from 'itty-router'
//const router = Router()

// New router
import { OpenAPIRouter } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

const router = OpenAPIRouter()

// Old routes remain the same
router.get('/todos', () => new Response('Todos Index!'))
router.get('/todos/:id', ({ params }) => new Response(`Todo #${params.id}`))

// ...

Now, when running the application, go to /docs. You will see your endpoints listed with the query parameters parsed and ready to be invoked.

Schema types

Schema types can be used in parameters, requestBody and responses.

All of theses Types can be imported like import { Email } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

Name	Arguments
`Num`	`description` `example` `default`
`Int`	`description` `example` `default`
`Str`	`description` `example` `default` `format`
`Enumeration`	`description` `example` `default` `values` `enumCaseSensitive`
`DateTime`	`description` `example` `default`
`DateOnly`	`description` `example` `default`
`Bool`	`description` `example` `default`
`Regex`	`description` `example` `default` `pattern` `patternError`
`Email`	`description` `example` `default`
`Uuid`	`description` `example` `default`
`Hostname`	`description` `example` `default`
`Ipv4`	`description` `example` `default`
`Ipv6`	`description` `example` `default`

In order to make use of the enum argument you should pass your Enum values to the Enumeration class, as shown bellow.

Example parameters:

parameters = {
  page: Query(Number, {
    description: 'Page number',
    default: 1,
    required: false,
  }),
  search: Query(
    new Str({
      description: 'Search query',
      example: 'funny people',
    }),
    { required: false }
  ),
}

Example responses:

Example with common values

responses = {
  '200': {
    schema: {
      result: {
        series: {
          timestamps: ['2023-01-01 00:00:00'],
          values: [0.56],
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

Example with defined types

responses = {
  '200': {
    schema: {
      result: {
        meta: {
          confidenceInfo: schemaDateRange,
          dateRange: schemaDateRange,
          aggInterval: schemaAggInterval,
          lastUpdated: new DateTime(),
        },
        series: {
          timestamps: [new DateTime()],
          values: [new Str({ example: 0.56 })],
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

Example requestBody:

requestBody = {
  datasetId: new Int({ example: 3 }),
  search: new Str(),
}

Example Enumeration:

Enumerations like the other types can be defined both inline or as a variable outside the schema.

import { Enumeration } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

parameters = {
  format: Query(Enumeration, {
    description: 'Format the response should be returned',
    default: 'json',
    required: false,
    values: {
      json: 'json',
      csv: 'csv',
    },
  }),
}

Example Enumeration not case sensitive:

This way, the client can call any combination of upper and lower characters and it will still be a valid input.

import { Enumeration } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

const formatsEnum = new Enumeration({
  enumCaseSensitive: false,
  values: {
    json: 'json',
    csv: 'csv',
  },
})

parameters = {
  format: Query(formatsEnum, {
    description: 'Format the response should be returned',
    default: 'json',
    required: false,
  }),
}

Parameters

Currently there is support for both the Query and Path parameters.

This is where you will use the Schema types explained above.

Example path parameter:

Notice that parameter key needs to be the same name as the route path

import { OpenAPIRoute, Path, Int, Str } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

export class ToDoFetch extends OpenAPIRoute {
  static schema = {
    tags: ['ToDo'],
    summary: 'Fetch a ToDo',
    parameters: {
      todoId: Path(Int, {
        description: 'ToDo ID',
      }),
    },
  }

  async handle(
    request: Request,
    env: any,
    context: any,
    data: Record<string, any>
  ) {
    const { todoId } = data
    // ...
  }
}

router.get('/todos/:todoId', ToDoFetch)

Example query parameter:

import { OpenAPIRoute, Query, Int, Str } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

export class ToDoList extends OpenAPIRoute {
  static schema = {
    tags: ['ToDo'],
    summary: 'List all ToDos',
    parameters: {
      page: Query(Int, {
        description: 'Page number',
        default: 1,
        required: false,
      }),
    },
  }

  async handle(
    request: Request,
    env: any,
    context: any,
    data: Record<string, any>
  ) {
    const { page } = data
    // ...
  }
}

router.get('/todos', ToDoList)

Request Body Validation

The requestBody is defined the same way as the normal parameters. The validated data will be available inside the body property in the data argument.

Remember that requestBody is only available when the route method is not GET.

export class ToDoCreate extends OpenAPIRoute {
  static schema = {
    tags: ['ToDo'],
    summary: 'Create a new Todo',
    requestBody: {
      title: String,
      description: new Str({ required: false }),
      type: new Enumeration({
        values: {
          nextWeek: 'nextWeek',
          nextMonth: 'nextMonth',
        }
      })
    },
    responses: {
      '200': {
        schema: {
          todo: {
            id: 123,
            title: 'My title',
          },
        },
      },
    },
  }

  async handle(request: Request, env: any, context: any, data: Record<string, any>) {
    const { body } = data

    // Actually insert the data somewhere

    return {
      todo: {
        id: 123,
        title: body.title,
      },
    }
  }
}

...

router.post('/todos', ToDoCreate)

OpenAI plugin support

In the aiPlugin field you can define all fields from the plugin manifest

This library include default values for the following plugin manifest fields:

import { AuthType, SchemaVersion, APIType } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

const default = {
  schema_version: SchemaVersion.V1,
  auth: {
    type: AuthType.NONE,
  },
  api: {
    type: APIType.OPENAPI,
    has_user_authentication: false,
    url: '/openai.json', // The path to the schema will be the same as the `openapi_url` field in the router configuration
  }
}

Taking into consideration the default values included, we can build a very minimal configuration, assuming the api doesn't require Auth:

import { OpenAPIRouter } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

const router = OpenAPIRouter({
  aiPlugin: {
    name_for_human: 'Cloudflare Radar API',
    name_for_model: 'cloudflare_radar',
    description_for_human: "Get data insights from Cloudflare's point of view.",
    description_for_model:
      "Plugin for retrieving the data based on Cloudflare Radar's data. Use it whenever a user asks something that might be related to Internet usage, eg. outages, Internet traffic, or Cloudflare Radar's data in particular.",
    contact_email: '[email protected]',
    legal_info_url: 'https://www.cloudflare.com/website-terms/',
    logo_url: 'https://cdn-icons-png.flaticon.com/512/5969/5969044.png',
  },
})

// ...

Now when calling the /.well-known/ai-plugin.json path in our worker, we will see a full ai-plugin schema, that automatically points to our generated OpenAPI 3 Schema.

Serving the OpenAI schema from multiple domains/hosts

When serving from multiple domains, the OpenAPI schema should automatically update to the domain being served.

Thats why we made the aiPlugin.api.url to allow relative paths, and when doing so, the itty-router-openapi will automatically fill the domain.

import { OpenAPIRouter } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

const router = OpenAPIRouter({
  aiPlugin: {
    // other fields
    api: {
      url: '/my-schema-for-openai.json',
    },
  },
})

// ...

Then when calling for https://example.com/.well-known/ai-plugin.json the response will have the absolut url

{
  ...
  api: {
    url: 'https://example.com/my-schema-for-openai.json'
  }
}

Advanced Usage

1. Cloudflare ES6 Module Worker

In the Module Worker format, the parameters binding is different.

Instead of the worker only having access to the event argument, that argument is split into request, env, context. And as said above, the data object (that contains the validated parameters) is always the last argument that the handle() function receives.

import { OpenAPIRouter, OpenAPIRoute } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

export class ToDoList extends OpenAPIRoute {
  static schema = { ... }

  async handle(request: Request, env, context, data: Record<string, any>) {
    const { page } = data

    return {
      currentPage: page,
      nextPage: page + 1,
      results: ['lorem', 'ipsum'],
    }
  }
}

const router = OpenAPIRouter()
router.get('/todos', ToDoList)

export default {
  fetch: router.handle
}

Otherwise, if you don't need the new env and context parameters, you can remove theses like the next example

import { OpenAPIRouter, OpenAPIRoute } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

export class ToDoList extends OpenAPIRoute {
  static schema = { ... }

  async handle(request: Request, data: Record<string, any>) {
    const { page } = data

    return {
      currentPage: page,
      nextPage: page + 1,
      results: ['lorem', 'ipsum'],
    }
  }
}

const router = OpenAPIRouter()
router.get('/todos', ToDoList)

export default {
  fetch: (request) => router.handle(request)
}

2. Using Javascript types

If you are planning on using this lib with Typescript, then declaring schemas is even easier than with Javascript because instead of importing the parameter types, you can use the native Typescript data types String, Number, or Boolean.

export class ToDoList extends OpenAPIRoute {
  static schema = {
    tags: ['ToDo'],
    summary: 'List all ToDos',
    parameters: {
      page: Query(Number, {
        description: 'Page number',
        default: 1,
        required: false,
      }),
    },
    responses: {
      '200': {
        schema: {
          currentPage: Number,
          nextPage: Number,
          results: [String],
        },
      },
    },
  }
  // ...
}

3. Build your own Schema Type

All schema types extend from the BaseParameter or other type and build on top of that. To build your own type just pick an already available type, like Str or extend from the base class.

export class Num extends BaseParameter {
  type = 'number'

  validate(value: any): any {
    value = super.validate(value)

    value = Number.parseFloat(value)

    if (isNaN(value)) {
      throw new ValidationError('is not a valid number')
    }

    return value
  }
}

export class DateOnly extends Str {
  type = 'string'
  protected declare params: StringParameterType

  constructor(params?: StringParameterType) {
    super({
      example: '2022-09-15',
      ...params,
      format: 'date',
    })
  }
}

4. Core openapi schema customizations

Besides adding a schema to your endpoints, its also recomended you customize your schema. This can be done by passing the schema argument when creating your router. All OpenAPI Fixed Fields are available.

The example bellow will change the schema title, and add a Bearer token authentication to all endpoints

const router = OpenAPIRouter({
  schema: {
    info: {
      title: 'Radar Worker API',
      version: '1.0',
    },
    components: {
      securitySchemes: {
        bearerAuth: {
          type: 'http',
          scheme: 'bearer',
        },
      },
    },
    security: [
      {
        bearerAuth: [],
      },
    ],
  },
})

5. Hiding routes in the OpenAPI schema

Hiding routes can be archived by registering your endpoints in the original itty-router,as shown here:

import { OpenAPIRouter } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

const router = OpenAPIRouter()

router.original.get(
  '/todos/:id',
  ({ params }) => new Response(`Todo #${params.id}`)
)

This endpoint will still be accessible, but will not be shown in the schema.

6. Accessing the `openapi.json` schema

For CI/CD pipelines, you can read the complete openapi.json schemas by calling the schema property from the router instance.

Here is an example of a nodejs script that would pick the schema, make some changes and write it to a file, to be able to be picked from a CI/CD pipeline.

import fs from 'fs'
import { router } from '../src/router'

// Get the Schema from itty-router-openapi
const schema = router.schema

// Optionaly: update the schema with some costumizations for publishing

// Write the final schema
fs.writeFileSync('./public-api.json', JSON.stringify(schema, null, 2))

7. Nested Routers

For big projects, having all routes in the same file can be chaotic.

In this example we split some routes to a different router

// api/attacks/router.ts
import { OpenAPIRouter } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

export const attacksRouter = OpenAPIRouter({ base: '/api/v1/attacks' })

attacksRouter.get('/layer3/timeseries', AttacksLayer3Timeseries)

// router.ts
import { OpenAPIRouter } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'
import { attacksRouter } from 'api/attacks/router'

export const router = OpenAPIRouter({
  schema: {
    info: {
      title: 'Radar Worker API',
      version: '1.0',
    },
  },
})

router.all('/api/v1/attacks/*', attacksRouter)

// Other routes
router.get('/api/v1/bgp/timeseries', BgpTimeseries)

Now run wrangler dev and go to /docs with your browser, here you can verify that all nested routers appear correctly and you are able to call every endpoint.

8. Cloudflare Worker using addEventListener

If you want to use the addEventListener instead of exporting an object, you can define your worker like this:

import { OpenAPIRouter, OpenAPIRoute } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

export class ToDoList extends OpenAPIRoute {
  static schema = { ... }

  async handle(request: Request, data: Record<string, any>) {
    const { page } = data

    return {
      currentPage: page,
      nextPage: page + 1,
      results: ['lorem', 'ipsum'],
    }
  }
}

const router = OpenAPIRouter()
router.get('/todos', ToDoList)

addEventListener('fetch', (event) => event.respondWith(router.handle(event.request)))

You can also pass other event parameters to the endpoint, by adding them in the addEventListener function

import { OpenAPIRouter, OpenAPIRoute } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

export class ToDoList extends OpenAPIRoute {
  static schema = { ... }

  async handle(request: Request, waitUntil: any, data: Record<string, any>) {
    const { page } = data

    return {
      currentPage: page,
      nextPage: page + 1,
      results: ['lorem', 'ipsum'],
    }
  }
}

const router = OpenAPIRouter()
router.get('/todos', ToDoList)

addEventListener('fetch', (event) => event.respondWith(router.handle(event.request, event.waitUntil.bind(event))))

Notice that, in this last example the endpoint is receiving an extra waitUntil parameter.

9. Custom responses formats

Describing a binary file:

import { OpenAPIRoute, Str } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

export class ToDoList extends OpenAPIRoute {
  static schema = {
    summary: 'My summary of a custom pdf file endpoint.',
    responses: {
      '200': {
        contentType: 'application/pdf',
        schema: new Str({ format: 'binary' }),
      },
    },
  }

  async handle(request: Request, data: Record<string, any>) {
    // ...
  }
}

Describing a XML response:

import { OpenAPIRoute, Str } from '@cloudflare/itty-router-openapi'

export class ToDoList extends OpenAPIRoute {
  static schema = {
    summary: 'My summary of a custom pdf file endpoint.',
    responses: {
      '200': {
        contentType: 'application/xml',
        schema: new Obj(
          {
            code: new Str({ example: '13335' }),
            name: new Str({ example: 'Cloudflare' }),
            type: new Str({ example: 'asn' }),
          },
          { xml: { name: 'root' } }
        ),
      },
    },
  }

  async handle(request: Request, data: Record<string, any>) {
    // ...
  }
}
