A flow written in ES6 using Immutable to convert between API description formats (Swagger, etc.) and other programs such as cURL command lines.

We currently support:

• Swagger v2.0 (in/out)
• RAML v1.0 (in/out)
• Postman Collection v2.0 (in/out)
• Paw v3.1 (in/out)

We intend to support:

• Swagger v3.0
• RAML v0.8
• Postman Collection v1.0
• Postman Dump v1.0
• Insomnia v3.0
• API Blueprint
• and many more.

You can install this library in two different ways.

$ yarn add api-flow
# or
$ npm install api-flow

Just run:

git clone https://github.com/luckymarmot/API-Flow.git
cd API-Flow
yarn install
make

This will install the node module dependencies, but you will need to build API-Flow for the different environments that you need:

# use TARGET="node" if you only want the node library
make runners TARGET="node web webworker"

You can use the following command to compile different extensions.

# use TARGET="swagger" if you only want the swagger bindings
make transfer TARGET="swagger raml1 postman2"

const ApiFlow = require('api-flow').default; // if from yarn/npm
const ApiFlow = require('./dist/node/api-flow.js').default; // if from `make runners TARGET="node"`

const path = require('path');

const options = {
    source: {
        format: 'swagger',
        version: 'v2.0'
    },
    target: {
        format: 'raml',
        version: 'v1.0'
    }
}

const promise = ApiFlow.transform({
  options,
  uri: path.resolve(__dirname, './my_super_swagger.yml')
})

promise.then((data) => {
  // do some cool stuff with the data
})

API-Flow is one of the main components of Console.REST. If you're an API user, you can easily use https://console.rest/ to convert API description files. If you're an API provider, you can add a button to your API docs to let your users open and play with your API in client apps including Paw or Postman.

Read CONTRIBUTING.md for more tips on testing and contributing.

Our sole requirement is that organizations that want to extend API-Flow to support their format write both a parser and a serializer, and not simply a serializer.

You can find more information about the internal structure of API-Flow in src. We've also created a set of templates to help speed up the extension process: loader, parser, and environment
