add the swagger-ui middleware as an option

[borisirota]

Hi,

It will be great if the swagger-ui middleware can be added to the middlewares chain (https://github.com/apigee-127/magic/blob/master/lib/middleware.js#L53) as a config option.

Its already part of the swagger tools so it will be nice to have it out of the box instead of adding it manually.

Thanks,
Boris

Hey Boris,

You bet. This is already in the pipeline. We'll be adding a user interface that is a superset of swagger-ui that will based the swagger-editor instead of requiring a separate module.

Awesome !

Any idea how long it should take? :)

I'm not sure at this point. The necessary enhancements being made to swagger-editor and I'll be able to add it after that. I'll update this as I get more information.

In the meantime, this is what I am doing to make it work:

• Setting the ui properties in the yaml config file (i.e. default.yaml),

ui:
  swaggerUi: '/api/ui'
  apiDocs: '/api/docs'  

• Manually wiring the swaggerUi middleware in the app.js

a127.init(function(config) {

  app.use(a127.middleware(config));

  // adding ui options
  var swaggerTools = config['a127.magic'].swaggerTools;
  app.use(swaggerTools.swaggerUi({
    swaggerUi: config.ui.swaggerUi,
    apiDocs: config.ui.apiDocs
  }));
