Unchase Swashbuckle Asp.Net Core Extensions is a library contains a bunch of extensions (filters) for Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.

The project is developed and maintained by Nikolay Chebotov (Unchase).

Breaking Changes

Since v2.0.0 supports Swashbuckle.AspNetCore 5.0.0 with breaking changes.

For old versions see README_OLD.md.

Since v2.3.0 there are breaking changes in Startup.cs

Compatibility

Swashbuckle Version	ASP.NET Core	Swagger / OpenAPI Spec.	This extension Version
master	>= 2.0.0	2.0, 3.0	master
6.1.5	>= 2.0.0	2.0, 3.0	v2.6.1
6.1.0	>= 2.0.0	2.0, 3.0	v2.6.0
6.0.0	>= 2.0.0	2.0, 3.0	v2.5.1

Getting Started

To use the extensions, install NuGet package into your project:

Manually with the NuGet Package Manager:

Install-Package Unchase.Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Extensions

Using the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package Unchase.Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Extensions --version {version}

Where {version} is the version of the package you want to install. For example, dotnet add package Unchase.Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Extensions --version 2.4.0

Then use whichever extensions (filters) you need.

Extensions (Filters) use

Ensure your API actions and parameters are decorated with explicit "Http" and "From" (optional) bindings.

[HttpPost]
public void CreateProduct([FromBody]Product product)
...

[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<Product> SearchProducts([FromQuery]string keywords)
...

In the Configure method, insert middleware to expose the generated Swagger as JSON endpoint(s):

app.UseSwagger();

Optionally, insert the swagger-ui middleware if you want to expose interactive documentation, specifying the Swagger JSON endpoint(s) to power it from:

app.UseSwaggerUI(c =>
{
    c.SwaggerEndpoint("/swagger/v1/swagger.json", "My API V1");
});

Fix enums in OpenApi document:

In the ConfigureServices method of Startup.cs, inside your AddSwaggerGen call, enable whichever extensions (filters) you need:

using Unchase.Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Extensions.Extensions;
using Unchase.Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Extensions.Filters;

Since v2.3.0:

// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    // Add framework services.
    services.AddControllers();

    // Register the Swagger generator
    services.AddSwaggerGen(options =>
    {
        options.SwaggerDoc("v1", new OpenApiInfo { Title = "My API", Version = "v1" });

        // use it if you want to hide Paths and Definitions from OpenApi documentation correctly
        options.UseAllOfToExtendReferenceSchemas();

        // if you want to add xml comments from summary and remarks into the swagger documentation, first of all add:
        // you can exclude remarks for concrete types
        var xmlFilePath = Path.Combine(AppContext.BaseDirectory, "WebApi3.1-Swashbuckle.xml");
        options.IncludeXmlCommentsWithRemarks(xmlFilePath, false,
            typeof(ComplicatedClass),
            typeof(InnerEnum));

        // or add without remarks
        //options.IncludeXmlComments(xmlFilePath);

        // if you want to add xml comments from inheritdocs (from summary and remarks) into the swagger documentation, add:
        // you can exclude remarks for concrete types
        options.IncludeXmlCommentsFromInheritDocs(includeRemarks: true, excludedTypes: typeof(string));

        // Add filters to fix enums
        // use by default:
        //options.AddEnumsWithValuesFixFilters();

        // or configured:
        options.AddEnumsWithValuesFixFilters(services, o =>
        {
            // add schema filter to fix enums (add 'x-enumNames' for NSwag or its alias from XEnumNamesAlias) in schema
            o.ApplySchemaFilter = true;

            // alias for replacing 'x-enumNames' in swagger document
            o.XEnumNamesAlias = "x-enum-varnames";

            // alias for replacing 'x-enumDescriptions' in swagger document
            o.XEnumDescriptionsAlias = "x-enum-descriptions";

            // add parameter filter to fix enums (add 'x-enumNames' for NSwag or its alias from XEnumNamesAlias) in schema parameters
            o.ApplyParameterFilter = true;

            // add document filter to fix enums displaying in swagger document
            o.ApplyDocumentFilter = true;

            // add descriptions from DescriptionAttribute or xml-comments to fix enums (add 'x-enumDescriptions' or its alias from XEnumDescriptionsAlias for schema extensions) for applied filters
            o.IncludeDescriptions = true;

            // add remarks for descriptions from xml-comments
            o.IncludeXEnumRemarks = true;

            // get descriptions from DescriptionAttribute then from xml-comments
            o.DescriptionSource = DescriptionSources.DescriptionAttributesThenXmlComments;

            // new line for enum values descriptions
            // o.NewLine = Environment.NewLine;
            o.NewLine = "\n";

            // get descriptions from xml-file comments on the specified path
            // should use "options.IncludeXmlComments(xmlFilePath);" before
            o.IncludeXmlCommentsFrom(xmlFilePath);
            // the same for another xml-files...
        });
    });
}

For older versions:

// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    // Add framework services.
    services.AddMvc();

    services.AddSwaggerGen(options =>
    {
        options.SwaggerDoc("v1", new OpenApiInfo { Title = "My API", Version = "v1" });

        // if you want to add xml comments into the swagger documentation, first of all add:
        var filePath = Path.Combine(AppContext.BaseDirectory, "WebApi3.1-Swashbuckle.xml");
        options.IncludeXmlComments(filePath);

        // Add filters to fix enums
        options.AddEnumsWithValuesFixFilters(true);

        // or custom use:
        //options.SchemaFilter<XEnumNamesSchemaFilter>(true); // add schema filter to fix enums (add 'x-enumNames' for NSwag) in schema
        //options.ParameterFilter<XEnumNamesParameterFilter>(true); // add parameter filter to fix enums (add 'x-enumNames' for NSwag) in schema parameters
        //options.DocumentFilter<DisplayEnumsWithValuesDocumentFilter>(true); // add document filter to fix enums displaying in swagger document
    });
}

Hide Paths and Definitions from OpenApi documentation without accepted roles:

In the ConfigureServices method of Startup.cs, inside your AddSwaggerGen call, enable HidePathsAndDefinitionsByRolesDocumentFilter document filter:

// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    ...

    services.AddSwaggerGen(options =>
    {
        ...

        // remove Paths and Defenitions from OpenApi documentation without accepted roles
        options.DocumentFilter<HidePathsAndDefinitionsByRolesDocumentFilter>(new List<string> { "AcceptedRole" });
    });
}

Since v2.2.1 you can hide Paths and Definitions from OpenApi documentation for specific controller action (or all actions) without accepted roles like this:

// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
    //...    

    // enable middleware to serve generated Swagger as a JSON endpoint.
    app.UseSwagger(c =>
    {
        c.PreSerializeFilters.Add((openApiDoc, httpRequest) =>
        {
            // remove Paths and Components from OpenApi documentation for specific controller action without accepted roles
            openApiDoc.RemovePathsAndComponentsWithoutAcceptedRolesFor<SomeController>(controller => nameof(controller.SomeAction), new List<string> {"AcceptedRole"});

            // or
            //openApiDoc.RemovePathsAndComponentsWithoutAcceptedRolesFor<SomeController>(nameof(SomeController.SomeAction), new List<string> { "AcceptedRole" });


            // remove Paths and Components from OpenApi documentation for all controller actions without accepted roles
            openApiDoc.RemovePathsAndComponentsWithoutAcceptedRolesForController<AnotherController>(new List<string> {"AcceptedRole"});

            // or you can get accepted roles by httpRequest like this:
            //openApiDoc.RemovePathsAndComponentsWithoutAcceptedRolesForController<AnotherController>(GetAcceptedRolesByRemoteIp(httpRequest.HttpContext.Connection.RemoteIpAddress));
        });
    });

    //...
}

Validated actions must be annotated with the one of HttpMethodAttribute (HttpGetAttribute, HttpPostAttribute, HttpDeleteAttribute, HttpPutAttribute, HttpPatchAttribute) attributes.

Append action count into the SwaggetTag's descriptions in OpenApi document:

In the ConfigureServices method of Startup.cs, inside your AddSwaggerGen call, enable AppendActionCountToTagSummaryDocumentFilter document filter:

// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    ...

    services.AddSwaggerGen(options =>
    {
        ...

        // enable openApi Annotations
        options.EnableAnnotations();

        // add action count (with message template) into the SwaggerTag's descriptions
        // you can use it after "HidePathsAndDefinitionsByRolesDocumentFilter"
        options.DocumentFilter<AppendActionCountToTagSummaryDocumentFilter>("(count: {0})");

        ...
    });
}

In the controller need to use SwaggerTag attribute:

using Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Annotations;

[SwaggerTag("Controller for todo")]
public class TodoController : ControllerBase
...

Change all responses for specific HTTP status codes in OpenApi document:

In the ConfigureServices method of Startup.cs, inside your AddSwaggerGen call, enable ChangeAllResponsesByHttpStatusCode<T> extension (filter) with whichever HTTP status codes you need:

// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    ...

    services.AddSwaggerGen(options =>
    {
        ...

        // change responses for specific HTTP status code ("200")
        options.ChangeAllResponsesByHttpStatusCode(
            httpStatusCode: 200,
            responseDescription: "200 status code description",
            responseExampleOption : ResponseExampleOptions.AddNew, // add new response examples
            responseExample: new TodoItem { Tag = Tag.Workout, Id = 111, IsComplete = false, Name = "test" }); // some class for response examples
        
        // change responses for specific HTTP status code ("400" (HttpStatusCode.BadRequest))
        options.ChangeAllResponsesByHttpStatusCode(
            httpStatusCode: HttpStatusCode.BadRequest,
            responseDescription: "400 status code description",
            responseExampleOption: ResponseExampleOptions.Clear, // claer response examples
            responseExample: new ComplicatedClass()); // some class for response examples
        
        // change responses for specific HTTP status code ("201" (StatusCodes.Status201Created))
        options.ChangeAllResponsesByHttpStatusCode(
            httpStatusCode: StatusCodes.Status201Created,
            responseDescription: "201 status code description",
            responseExampleOption: ResponseExampleOptions.None, // do nothing with response examples
            responseExample: new ComplicatedClass()); // some class for response examples

        ...
    });
}

Order tags by name in OpenApi document:

In the ConfigureServices method of Startup.cs, inside your AddSwaggerGen call, enable TagOrderByNameDocumentFilter document filter:

// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    ...

    services.AddSwaggerGen(options =>
    {
        ...

        // order tags by name
        options.DocumentFilter<TagOrderByNameDocumentFilter>();

        ...
    });
}

Add xml comments from summary and remarks into the swagger documentation:

Since v2.4.0 in the ConfigureServices method of Startup.cs, inside your AddSwaggerGen call, add IncludeXmlCommentsWithRemarks option instead of IncludeXmlComments option:

// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    ...

    services.AddSwaggerGen(options =>
    {
        ...

        // add xml comments from summary and remarks into the swagger documentation
        options.IncludeXmlCommentsWithRemarks("<xml_File_Full_Path>");

        // add xml comments from summary and remarks into the swagger documentation
        // with excluding remarks for concrete types (since v2.4.1)
        var xmlFilePath = Path.Combine(AppContext.BaseDirectory, "WebApi3.1-Swashbuckle.xml");
        options.IncludeXmlCommentsWithRemarks(xmlFilePath, false,
            typeof(ComplicatedClass),
            typeof(InnerEnum));

        ...
    });
}

Add xml comments from <inheritdoc/> (from summary and remarks) into the swagger documentation:

Since v2.5.0 in the ConfigureServices method of Startup.cs, inside your AddSwaggerGen call, add IncludeXmlCommentsFromInheritDocs option:

// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    ...

    services.AddSwaggerGen(options =>
    {
        ...

        // add xml comments from inheritdocs (from summary and remarks) into the swagger documentation, add:
        // with excluding concrete types
        options.IncludeXmlCommentsFromInheritDocs(includeRemarks: true, excludedTypes: typeof(string));

        ...
    });
}

Features

Fix enums

Add an output enums integer values with there strings like 0 = FirstEnumValue without a StringEnumConverter in swaggerUI and schema (by default enums will output only their integer values)

Add description to each enum value that has an [Description] attribute in swaggerUI and schema - should use options.DocumentFilter<DisplayEnumsWithValuesDocumentFilter>(true); or options.AddEnumsWithValuesFixFilters(true);

In Swashbuckle SwaggerUI:

In schema parameters:

In schema definitions:

To show enum values descriptions you should use [Description] attribute in your code:

/// <summary>
/// Title enum.
/// </summary>
[DataContract]
public enum Title
{
    /// <summary>
    /// None.
    /// </summary>
    [Description("None enum description")]
    [EnumMember]
    None = 0,

    /// <summary>
    /// Miss.
    /// </summary>
    [Description("Miss enum description")]
    [EnumMember]
    Miss,

    /// <summary>
    /// Mr.
    /// </summary>
    [Description("Mr enum description")]
    [EnumMember]
    Mr
}

...

/// <summary>
/// Sample Person request and response.
/// </summary>
public class SamplePersonRequestResponse
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Sample Person title.
    /// </summary>
    public Title Title { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// Sample Person age.
    /// </summary>
    public int Age { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// Sample Person firstname.
    /// </summary>
    [Description("The first name of the person")]
    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// Sample Person income.
    /// </summary>
    public decimal? Income { get; set; }
}

Fix enum values in generated by NSwagStudio or Unchase OpenAPI Connected Service client classes:

/// <summary>Sample Person title.
///
/// 0 = None (None enum description)
///
/// 1 = Miss (Miss enum description)
///
/// 2 = Mr (Mr enum description)</summary>
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCode("NJsonSchema", "9.13.35.0 (Newtonsoft.Json v11.0.0.0)")]
public enum Title
{
    None = 0,

    Miss = 1,

    Mr = 2,

}

Hide Paths and Defenitions from OpenApi documentation

Hide all OpenAPIDocument Paths and Defenitions without accepted roles:

You should use AuthorizeAttribute for methods or controllers:

...
public class SamplePersonController : ControllerBase
{
    // this method will not be hidden with using 'swaggerDoc.HidePathItemsWithoutAcceptedRoles(new List<string> {"AcceptedRole"});'
    [Authorize(Roles = "AcceptedRole")]
    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult<SamplePersonRequestResponse> Get(Title title)
    {
        ...
    }

    // this method will be hidden with using 'swaggerDoc.HidePathItemsWithoutAcceptedRoles(new List<string> {"AcceptedRole"});'
    [Authorize(Roles = "NotAcceptedRole")]
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult<SamplePersonRequestResponse> Post([FromBody] SamplePersonRequestResponse request)
    {
        ...
    }
}

Append action count into the SwaggetTag's descriptions

You should use SwaggerTagAttribute for controllers:

[SwaggerTag("SamplePerson description")]
public class SamplePersonController : ControllerBase
{
    ...
}

Change responses for specific HTTP status codes

For example:

Add xml comments from summary and remarks into the swagger documentation

For code:

/// <summary>
/// Inner class
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Inner class remarks - class
/// </remarks>
public class InnerClass
{
    /// <summary>
    /// List of inner enums
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>
    /// List of inner enums remarks - property
    /// </remarks>
    public List<InnerEnum> InnerEnum { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// Second inner class
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>
    /// Second inner class remarks - property
    /// </remarks>
    public SecondInnerClass<SecondInnerEnum> SecondInnerClass { get; set; }
}

/// <summary>
/// Inner enum
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Inner enum remarks - enum
/// </remarks>
public enum InnerEnum
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Inner enum value
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>
    /// Inner enum value remarks
    /// </remarks>
    Value = 1
}

/// <summary>
/// Second inner class
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Second inner class remarks - class
/// </remarks>
public class SecondInnerClass<T> where T : Enum
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Second inner enum
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>
    /// Second inner enum remarks - property
    /// </remarks>
    public T InnerEnum { get; set; }
}

/// <summary>
/// Second inner enum
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Second inner enum remarks - enum
/// </remarks>
public enum SecondInnerEnum
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Second inner enum value
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>
    /// Second inner enum value remarks
    /// </remarks>
    Value = 0
}

Add xml comments from <inheritdoc/> (from summary and remarks) into the swagger documentation

For code:

/// <inheritdoc cref="IInheritDocClass"/>
public class InheritDocClass : IInheritDocClass
{
    /// <inheritdoc/>
    public string Name { get; set; }

    /// <inheritdoc/>
    public string Common { get; set; }

    /// <inheritdoc/>
    public InheritEnum InheritEnum { get; set; }
}

/// <summary>
/// InheritDocClass - inheritdoc
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// InheritDocClass remarks - inheritdoc
/// </remarks>
public interface IInheritDocClass : IInheritDocCommon
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Name - inheritdoc
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>
    /// Name remarks - inheritdoc
    /// </remarks>
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

/// <summary>
/// IInheritDocCommon interface
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// IInheritDocCommon interface remarks
/// </remarks>
public interface IInheritDocCommon
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Common - inheritdoc (inner)
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>
    /// Common remarks - inheritdoc (inner)
    /// </remarks>
    public string Common { get; set; }

    /// <summary>
    /// InheritEnum - inheritdoc (inner)
    /// </summary>
    public InheritEnum InheritEnum { get; set; }
}

/// <summary>
/// Inherit enum - enum
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Inherit enum remarks - enum
/// </remarks>
public enum InheritEnum
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Inherit enum Value
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>
    /// Inherit enum Value remarks
    /// </remarks>
    Value = 0
}
