Generate real Swagger/OpenAPI 2.0 specifications from a Django Rest Framework API.
Compatible with
Only the latest patch version of each major.minor
series of Python, Django and Django REST Framework is supported.
Only the latest version of drf-yasg is supported. Support of old versions is dropped immediately with the release of a new version. Please do not create issues before upgrading to the latest release available at the time. Regression reports are accepted and will be resolved with a new release as quickly as possible. Removed features will usually go through a deprecation cycle of a few minor releases.

OpenAPI 3.0 note
If you are looking to add Swagger/OpenAPI support to a new project you might want to take a look at
drf-spectacular <https://github.com/tfranzel/drf-spectacular>
_, which is an actively maintained new library that
shares most of the goals of this project, while working with OpenAPI 3.0 schemas.
OpenAPI 3.0 provides a lot more flexibility than 2.0 in the types of API that can be described.
drf-yasg
is unlikely to soon, if ever, get support for OpenAPI 3.0.
Features
swagger-ui <https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui>
and
redoc <https://github.com/Rebilly/ReDoc>
for viewing the generated documentationswagger-spec-validator <https://github.com/Yelp/swagger_spec_validator>

Usage
The preferred installation method is directly from pypi:
.. code:: console
pip install --upgrade drf-yasg
Additionally, if you want to use the built-in validation mechanisms (see 4. Validation
_), you need to install
some extra requirements:
.. code:: console
pip install --upgrade drf-yasg[validation]
.. _readme-quickstart:
In settings.py
:
.. code:: python
INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... 'django.contrib.staticfiles', # required for serving swagger ui's css/js files 'drf_yasg', ... ]
In urls.py
:
.. code:: python
... from django.urls import re_path from rest_framework import permissions from drf_yasg.views import get_schema_view from drf_yasg import openapi
...
schema_view = get_schema_view( openapi.Info( title="Snippets API", default_version='v1', description="Test description", terms_of_service="https://www.google.com/policies/terms/", contact=openapi.Contact(email="contact@snippets.local"), license=openapi.License(name="BSD License"), ), public=True, permission_classes=(permissions.AllowAny,), )
urlpatterns = [

/swagger.json

optionsSchemaView.with_ui(renderer, cache_timeout, cache_kwargs)
- get a view instance using the
specified UI renderer; one of swagger
, redoc
SchemaView.without_ui(cache_timeout, cache_kwargs)
- get a view instance with no UI renderer;
same as as_cached_view
with no kwargsSchemaView.as_cached_view(cache_timeout, cache_kwargs, **initkwargs)
- same as as_view
,
but with optional cachingas_view
as usualAll of the first 3 methods take two optional arguments, cache_timeout
and cache_kwargs
; if present,
these are passed on to Django’s :python:cached_page
decorator in order to enable caching on the resulting view.
See 3. Caching
_.
SWAGGER_SETTINGS
and REDOC_SETTINGS
Additionally, you can include some more settings in your settings.py
file.
See https://drf-yasg.readthedocs.io/en/stable/settings.html for details.
Since the schema does not usually change during the lifetime of the django process, there is out of the box support for caching the schema view in-memory, with some sane defaults:
cache_page <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/cache/#the-per-view-cache>
__
decorator, using the default Django cache backend, can be changed using the cache_kwargs
argumentCookie
and Authorization
HTTP headers to enable filtering of visible endpoints
according to the authentication credentials of each user; note that this means that every user accessing the schema
will have a separate schema cached in memory.Given the numerous methods to manually customize the generated schema, it makes sense to validate the result to ensure
it still conforms to OpenAPI 2.0. To this end, validation is provided at the generation point using python swagger
libraries, and can be activated by passing :python:validators=['ssv']
to get_schema_view
; if the generated
schema is not valid, a :python:SwaggerValidationError
is raised by the handling codec.
Warning: This internal validation can slow down your server. Caching can mitigate the speed impact of validation.
The provided validation will catch syntactic errors, but more subtle violations of the spec might slip by them. To ensure compatibility with code generation tools, it is recommended to also employ one or more of the following methods:
swagger-ui
validation badgeOnline ^^^^^^
If your schema is publicly accessible, swagger-ui
will automatically validate it against the official swagger
online validator and display the result in the bottom-right validation badge.
Offline ^^^^^^^
If your schema is not accessible from the internet, you can run a local copy of
swagger-validator <https://hub.docker.com/r/swaggerapi/swagger-validator/>
_ and set the VALIDATOR_URL
accordingly:
.. code:: python
SWAGGER_SETTINGS = {
...
'VALIDATOR_URL': 'http://localhost:8189',
...
}
.. code:: console
$ docker run --name swagger-validator -d -p 8189:8080 --add-host test.local:10.0.75.1 swaggerapi/swagger-validator
84dabd52ba967c32ae6b660934fa6a429ca6bc9e594d56e822a858b57039c8a2
$ curl http://localhost:8189/debug?url=http://test.local:8002/swagger/?format=openapi
{}
swagger-cli
https://www.npmjs.com/package/swagger-cli
.. code:: console
$ npm install -g swagger-cli
[...]
$ swagger-cli validate http://test.local:8002/swagger.yaml
http://test.local:8002/swagger.yaml is valid
editor.swagger.io <https://editor.swagger.io/>
__Importing the generated spec into https://editor.swagger.io/ will automatically trigger validation on it. This method is currently the only way to get both syntactic and semantic validation on your specification. The other validators only provide JSON schema-level validation, but miss things like duplicate operation names, improper content types, etc
You can use the specification outputted by this library together with
swagger-codegen <https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen>
_ to generate client code in your language of choice:
.. code:: console
$ docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/local swaggerapi/swagger-codegen-cli generate -i /local/tests/reference.yaml -l javascript -o /local/.codegen/js
See the GitHub page linked above for more details.
.. _readme-testproj:
For additional usage examples, you can take a look at the test project in the testproj
directory:
.. code:: console
$ git clone https://github.com/axnsan12/drf-yasg.git $ cd drf-yasg $ virtualenv venv $ source venv/bin/activate (venv) $ cd testproj (venv) $ python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools (venv) $ pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt (venv) $ python manage.py migrate (venv) $ python manage.py runserver (venv) $ firefox localhost:8000/swagger/
Third-party integrations
Integration with djangorestframework-camel-case <https://github.com/vbabiy/djangorestframework-camel-case>

uses
CamelCaseJSONParser
or CamelCaseJSONRenderer
, all property names will be converted to camelCase by default.

Integration with drf-extra-fields <https://github.com/Hipo/drf-extra-fields>
_ has a problem with Base64 fields.
The drf-yasg will generate Base64 file or image fields as Readonly and not required. Here is a workaround code
for display the Base64 fields correctly.
.. code:: python
class PDFBase64FileField(Base64FileField): ALLOWED_TYPES = ['pdf']
class Meta:
swagger_schema_fields = {
'type': 'string',
'title': 'File Content',
'description': 'Content of the file base64 encoded',
'read_only': False # <-- FIX
}
def get_file_extension(self, filename, decoded_file):
try:
PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(io.BytesIO(decoded_file))
except PyPDF2.utils.PdfReadError as e:
logger.warning(e)
else:
return 'pdf'
