Class ParameterInfo

java.lang.Object
org.apache.juneau.bean.swagger.SwaggerElement
org.apache.juneau.bean.swagger.ParameterInfo
public class ParameterInfo extends SwaggerElement
Describes a single operation parameter.

The Parameter Object describes a single parameter used in a Swagger 2.0 API operation. A unique parameter is defined by a combination of a name and location (in). Parameters can be passed in various locations including the path, query string, headers, body, or form data.

Swagger Specification:

The Parameter Object supports the following fields:

  • name (string, REQUIRED) - The name of the parameter
  • in (string, REQUIRED) - The location of the parameter. Possible values: "path", "query", "header", "body", or "formData"
  • description (string) - A brief description of the parameter
  • required (boolean) - Determines whether this parameter is mandatory (must be true if in is "path")
  • schema (SchemaInfo) - The schema defining the type used for the body parameter (only if in is "body")
  • type (string) - The type of the parameter (for non-body parameters). Values: "string", "number", "integer", "boolean", "array", "file"
  • format (string) - The format modifier (e.g., "int32", "int64", "float", "double", "date", "date-time")
  • allowEmptyValue (boolean) - Sets the ability to pass empty-valued parameters (valid only for "query" or "formData" parameters)
  • items (Items) - Required if type is "array". Describes the type of items in the array
  • collectionFormat (string) - How multiple values are formatted. Values: "csv", "ssv", "tsv", "pipes", "multi"
  • default (any) - The default value
  • maximum (number), exclusiveMaximum (boolean), minimum (number), exclusiveMinimum (boolean) - Numeric constraints
  • maxLength (integer), minLength (integer), pattern (string) - String constraints
  • maxItems (integer), minItems (integer), uniqueItems (boolean) - Array constraints
  • enum (array) - Possible values for this parameter
  • multipleOf (number) - Must be a multiple of this value

There are five possible parameter types (determined by the in field):

  • "path" - Used together with Path Templating, where the parameter value is actually part of the operation's URL. This does not include the host or base path of the API. For example, in /items/{itemId}, the path parameter is itemId.
  • "query" - Parameters that are appended to the URL. For example, in /items?id=###, the query parameter is id.
  • "header" - Custom headers that are expected as part of the request.
  • "body" - The payload that's appended to the HTTP request. Since there can only be one payload, there can only be one body parameter. The name of the body parameter has no effect on the parameter itself and is used for documentation purposes only. Since Form parameters are also in the payload, body and form parameters cannot exist together for the same operation.
  • "formData" - Used to describe the payload of an HTTP request when either application/x-www-form-urlencoded, multipart/form-data or both are used as the content type of the request (in Swagger's definition, the consumes property of an operation). This is the only parameter type that can be used to send files, thus supporting the file type. Since form parameters are sent in the payload, they cannot be declared together with a body parameter for the same operation. Form parameters have a different format based on the content-type used (for further details, consult http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4):
    • "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" - Similar to the format of Query parameters but as a payload. For example, foo=1&bar=swagger - both foo and bar are form parameters. This is normally used for simple parameters that are being transferred.
    • "multipart/form-data" - each parameter takes a section in the payload with an internal header. For example, for the header Content-Disposition: form-data; name="submit-name" the name of the parameter is submit-name. This type of form parameters is more commonly used for file transfers.
Example:

// Construct using SwaggerBuilder. ParameterInfo info = parameterInfo("query", "foo"); // Serialize using JsonSerializer. String json = Json.from(info); // Or just use toString() which does the same as above. json = info.toString();

// Output { "in": "query", "name": "foo" }
