Configuring Swagger UI with Spring Boot

Question

I am trying to configure Swagger UI with my Spring boot application. Although the v2/api-docs seems to be loading properly, the http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html does not load my annotated REST API.

Here is what I have:

pom.xml:

...
<!--Swagger UI-->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
            <artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
            <version>2.6.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
            <artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
            <version>2.4.0</version>
        </dependency>
...

SwaggerConfig.java

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;

import springfox.documentation.builders.RequestHandlerSelectors;
import springfox.documentation.service.ApiInfo;
import springfox.documentation.spi.DocumentationType;

import static springfox.documentation.builders.PathSelectors.regex;

@Configuration
@EnableSwagger2
public class SwaggerConfig

    @Bean
    public Docket api()
    {
        return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2)
                .select()
                .apis(RequestHandlerSelectors.any())
                .paths(regex("/.*"))
                .build().apiInfo(apiInfo());
    }

    private ApiInfo apiInfo()
    {
        ApiInfo apiInfo = new ApiInfo(
                "My Project's REST API",
                "This is a description of your API.",
                "version-1",

                "API License URL"
        );
        return apiInfo;
    }
}

The swagger-ui.html (http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html) does not show the expected REST calls:

The error in swagger-ui.html from the code inspection: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ().

I have googled around (tried web-config mvc too) but the error persists. Maybe I am missing a resource reference in the .iml file?

Answer 1

I had this issue today and fixed it by matching up the versions of my springfox-swagger2 and springfox-swagger-ui dependencies:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
        <artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
        <version>2.6.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
        <artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
        <version>2.6.1</version>
    </dependency>

There's very little other code to just get it up and running. One simple config class:

@Configuration
@EnableSwagger2
class SwaggerConfiguration {

    @Bean
    public Docket api() {
        return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2)
                .select()
                .apis(RequestHandlerSelectors.basePackage("com.foo.samples.swaggersample"))
                .paths(PathSelectors.any())
                .build();
    }

}

And my application.properties

# location of the swagger json
springfox.documentation.swagger.v2.path=/swagger.json

(This is in Spring Boot).

Statement : Generate Swagger UI for the listing of all the REST APIs through Spring Boot Application.

Follow the below steps to generate the Swagger UI through Spring Boot application:

1. Add following dependency in pom.xml –

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
        <artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
        <version>2.6.1</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
        <artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
        <version>2.6.1</version>
    </dependency>

2. Add the following piece of code in your main application class having the @EnableSwagger2 annotation.

    @EnableSwagger2
    @SpringBootApplication
    public class MyApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(MyApp.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    public Docket api() {
        return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2).select()  
           .apis(RequestHandlerSelectors.withClassAnnotation(Api.class))
           .paths(PathSelectors.any()).build().pathMapping("/")
           .apiInfo(apiInfo()).useDefaultResponseMessages(false);
    }

    @Bean
    public ApiInfo apiInfo() {
        final ApiInfoBuilder builder = new ApiInfoBuilder();
        builder.title("My Application API through Swagger UI").version("1.0").license("(C) Copyright Test")
        .description("List of all the APIs of My Application App through Swagger UI");
        return builder.build();
        }
    }

3. Add the below RootController class in your code to redirect to the Swagger UI page. In this way, you don’t need to put the dist folder of Swagger-UI in your resources directory.

    import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
    import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
    import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
    @Controller
    @RequestMapping("/")
    public class RootController {
        @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
        public String swaggerUi() {
            return "redirect:/swagger-ui.html";
        }
    }

4. Being the final steps, add the @Api and @ApiOperation notation in all your RESTControllers like below –

    import static org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod.GET;
    import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
    import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
    import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
    import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseStatus;
    import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
    import io.swagger.annotations.Api;
    import io.swagger.annotations.ApiOperation;

    @RestController
    @RequestMapping("/hello")
    @Api(value = "hello", description = "Sample hello world application")
    public class TestController {

        @ApiOperation(value = "Just to test the sample test api of My App Service")
        @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/test")
        // @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
        public String test() {
            return "Hello to check Swagger UI";
        }

        @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
        @RequestMapping(value = "/test1", method = GET)
        @ApiOperation(value = "My App Service get test1 API", position = 1)
        public String test1() {
            System.out.println("Testing");
            if (true) {
                return "Tanuj";
            }
            return "Gupta";
        }
    }

Now your are done. Now to run your Spring Boot Application, go to browser and type localhost:8080. You will see Swagger UI having all the details of your REST APIs.

Happy Coding.

Answer 3

Swagger is Available with V2 and V3 version

More minimal config

Answer 4

Add a config class like this

@Configuration
public class WebMvcConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurationSupport {

  @Override
  public void addResourceHandlers(final ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
    // Make Swagger meta-data available via <baseURL>/v2/api-docs/
    registry.addResourceHandler("/webjars/**").addResourceLocations("classpath:/META-INF/resources/webjars/");
    // Make Swagger UI available via <baseURL>/swagger-ui.html
    registry.addResourceHandler("/**").addResourceLocations("classpath:/META-INF/resources/");
  }
}

Nowadays, just set
