Swagger is a format for describing an API, and for then generating clients and documentation from that description. But the information in the Swagger schema also maps quite well to Puppet's concept of types, a least for APIs which are well modelled on resources. This project allows for autogenerating Puppet types and providers from a Swagger schema.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'puppet-swagger-generator'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install puppet-swagger-generator

Usage

puppet-swagger-generator --help
Usage:
    puppet-swagger-generator [OPTIONS]

Options:
    --namespace STRING            Namespace for the generated types (default: $PUPPET_SWAGGER_NAMESPACE)
    --schema PATH                 Swagger Schema file (default: $PUPPET_SWAGGER_SCHEMA)
    -h, --help                    print help

For generating types in the current folder you first need to download a Swagger schema file. Once you have the json document you can point the generator at it. The namespace attribute is used as the first part of the type. For example:

$ puppet-swagger-generator --namespace kubernetes --schema v1.json

Notes

This has not been tested against many Swagger specifications, and is unlikely to work unmodified (yet) in many cases. It's mainly been developed around the garethr-kubernetes module which is probably the best place at the moment to see it in action.
