Code Examples

Found something wrong? Feel free to contribute, _(*13)

Make sure it works

To make sure it works, we'll ask Drafter for the current version., _(*14)

$version = $drafter
    ->version()
    ->run();

// Reset options on the command
$drafter->resetOptions();

$version should now contain a string like v1.0.0. If something is wrong, an exception will have been thrown most likely., _(*15)

Keep in mind that Drafter-php is designed to keep its state, run \DrafterPhp\DrafterInterface::resetOptions to get rid of the version option you just set for the next call on the instance., _(*16)

Parse your-service.apib into your-service.refract.json

Make sure your input path is correct and readable, and your output path is writable., _(*17)

$drafter
    ->input('your-service.apib')
    ->format('json')
    ->type('refract')
    ->output('your-service.refract.json')
    ->run();

Parse your-service.apib into your-service.ast.json

Make sure your input path is correct and readable, and your output path is writable., _(*18)

$drafter
    ->input('your-service.apib')
    ->format('json')
    ->output('your-service.ast.json')
    ->run();

Parse your-service.apib into a PHP data structure

$refract = $drafter
    ->input('your-service.apib')
    ->format('json')
    ->run();

$phpObj = json_decode($refract);
$phpArr = json_decode($refract, true);

Parse your-service.apib into YAML format

$drafter
    ->input('your-service.apib')
    ->format('yaml') // optional as yaml is the default
    ->output('your-service.ast.yml')
    ->run();

Get Process before it is run

$process = $drafter
    ->input('your-service.apib')
    ->format('json')
    ->output('your-service.refract.json')
    ->build();

// do stuff with the process

$drafter
    ->run($process);

Feature Roadmap

Do not hesitate to contribute., _(*19)

• [ ] support passing raw api blueprint code into \DrafterPhp\DrafterInterface::input, rather than always a file path
