OpenAPI PSR-7 Message (HTTP Request/Response) Validator
This package can validate PSR-7 messages against OpenAPI (3.0.x) specifications expressed in YAML or JSON.
Installation
composer require league/openapi-psr7-validator
OpenAPI (OAS) Terms
There are some specific terms that are used in the package. These terms come from OpenAPI:
specification
- an OpenAPI document describing an API, expressed in JSON or YAML filedata
- actual thing that we validate against a specification, including body and metadataschema
- the part of the specification that describes the body of the request / responsekeyword
- properties that are used to describe the instance are called key words, or schema keywordspath
- a relative path to an individual endpointoperation
- a method that we apply on the path (likeget /password
)response
- described response (includes status code, content types etc)
How To Validate
ServerRequest Message
You can validate \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface
instance like this:
$yamlFile = "api.yaml";
$jsonFile = "api.json";
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromYamlFile($yamlFile)->getServerRequestValidator();
#or
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromYaml(file_get_contents($yamlFile))->getServerRequestValidator();
#or
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromJson(file_get_contents($jsonFile))->getServerRequestValidator();
#or
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromJsonFile($jsonFile)->getServerRequestValidator();
#or
$schema = new \cebe\openapi\spec\OpenApi(); // generate schema object by hand
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromSchema($schema)->getServerRequestValidator();
$match = $validator->validate($request);
As a result you would get and OperationAddress $match
which has matched the given request. If you already know
the operation which should match your request (i.e you have routing in your project), you can use
RouterRequestValidator
$address = new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\OperationAddress('/some/operation', 'post');
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromSchema($schema)->getRoutedRequestValidator();
$validator->validate($address, $request);
This would simplify validation a lot and give you more performance.
Request Message
You can validate \Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface
instance like this:
$yamlFile = "api.yaml";
$jsonFile = "api.json";
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromYamlFile($yamlFile)->getRequestValidator();
#or
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromYaml(file_get_contents($yamlFile))->getRequestValidator();
#or
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromJson(file_get_contents($jsonFile))->getRequestValidator();
#or
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromJsonFile($jsonFile)->getRequestValidator();
#or
$schema = new \cebe\openapi\spec\OpenApi(); // generate schema object by hand
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromSchema($schema)->getRequestValidator();
$match = $validator->validate($request);
Response Message
Validation of \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface
is a bit more complicated
. Because you need not only YAML file and Response itself, but also you need
to know which operation this response belongs to (in terms of OpenAPI).
Example:
$yamlFile = "api.yaml";
$jsonFile = "api.json";
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromYamlFile($yamlFile)->getResponseValidator();
#or
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromYaml(file_get_contents($yamlFile))->getResponseValidator();
#or
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromJson(file_get_contents($jsonFile))->getResponseValidator();
#or
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromJsonFile($jsonFile)->getResponseValidator();
#or
$schema = new \cebe\openapi\spec\OpenApi(); // generate schema object by hand
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromSchema($schema)->getResponseValidator();
$operation = new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\OperationAddress('/password/gen', 'get') ;
$validator->validate($operation, $response);
Reuse Schema After Validation
\League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder
reads and compiles schema in memory as instance of \cebe\openapi\spec\OpenApi
. Validators use this instance to perform validation logic. You can reuse this instance after the validation like this:
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromYamlFile($yamlFile)->getServerRequestValidator();
# or
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)->fromYamlFile($yamlFile)->getResponseValidator();
/** @var \cebe\openapi\spec\OpenApi */
$openApi = $validator->getSchema();
PSR-15 Middleware
PSR-15 middleware can be used like this:
$yamlFile = 'api.yaml';
$jsonFile = 'api.json';
$psr15Middleware = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR15\ValidationMiddlewareBuilder)->fromYamlFile($yamlFile)->getValidationMiddleware();
#or
$psr15Middleware = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR15\ValidationMiddlewareBuilder)->fromYaml(file_get_contents($yamlFile))->getValidationMiddleware();
#or
$psr15Middleware = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR15\ValidationMiddlewareBuilder)->fromJsonFile($jsonFile)->getValidationMiddleware();
#or
$psr15Middleware = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR15\ValidationMiddlewareBuilder)->fromJson(file_get_contents($jsonFile))->getValidationMiddleware();
#or
$schema = new \cebe\openapi\spec\OpenApi(); // generate schema object by hand
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidationMiddlewareBuilder)->fromSchema($schema)->getValidationMiddleware();
SlimFramework Middleware
Slim framework uses slightly different middleware interface, so here is an adapter which you can use like this:
$yamlFile = 'api.yaml';
$jsonFile = 'api.json';
$psr15Middleware = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR15\ValidationMiddlewareBuilder)->fromYamlFile($yamlFile)->getValidationMiddleware();
#or
$psr15Middleware = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR15\ValidationMiddlewareBuilder)->fromYaml(file_get_contents($yamlFile))->getValidationMiddleware();
#or
$psr15Middleware = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR15\ValidationMiddlewareBuilder)->fromJsonFile($jsonFile)->getValidationMiddleware();
#or
$psr15Middleware = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR15\ValidationMiddlewareBuilder)->fromJson(file_get_contents($jsonFile))->getValidationMiddleware();
#or
$schema = new \cebe\openapi\spec\OpenApi(); // generate schema object by hand
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidationMiddlewareBuilder)->fromSchema($schema)->getValidationMiddleware();
$slimMiddleware = new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR15\SlimAdapter($psr15Middleware);
/** @var \Slim\App $app */
$app->add($slimMiddleware);
Caching Layer / PSR-6 Support
PSR-7 Validator has a built-in caching layer (based on PSR-6 interfaces) which saves time on parsing OpenAPI specs. It is optional. You enable caching if you pass a configured Cache Pool Object to the static constructor like this:
// Configure a PSR-6 Cache Pool
$cachePool = new ArrayCachePool();
// Pass it as a 2nd argument
$validator = (new \League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR7\ValidatorBuilder)
->fromYamlFile($yamlFile)
->setCache($cachePool)
->getResponseValidator();
# or
\League\OpenAPIValidation\PSR15\ValidationMiddleware::fromYamlFile($yamlFile, $cachePool);
You can use ->setCache($pool, $ttl)
call for both PSR-7 and PSR-15 builder in order to set
proper expiration ttl in seconds (or explicit null
)
If you want take control over the cache key for schema item, or your cache does not support cache key generation by itself
you can ->overrideCacheKey('my_custom_key')
to ensure cache uses key you want.
Standalone OpenAPI Validator
The package contains a standalone validator which can validate any data against an OpenAPI schema like this:
$spec = <<<SPEC
schema:
type: string
enum:
- a
- b
SPEC;
$data = "c";
$spec = cebe\openapi\Reader::readFromYaml($spec);
# (optional) reference resolving
$spec->resolveReferences(new ReferenceContext($spec, "/"));
$schema = new cebe\openapi\spec\Schema($spec->schema);
try {
(new \League\OpenAPIValidation\Schema\SchemaValidator())->validate($data, $schema);
} catch(\League\OpenAPIValidation\Schema\Exception\KeywordMismatch $e) {
// you can evaluate failure details
// $e->keyword() == "enum"
// $e->data() == "c"
// $e->dataBreadCrumb()->buildChain() -- only for nested data
}
Custom Type Formats
As you know, OpenAPI allows you to add formats to types:
schema:
type: string
format: binary
This package contains a bunch of built-in format validators:
string
type:byte
date
date-time
email
hostname
ipv4
ipv6
uri
uuid
(uuid4)
number
typefloat
double
You can also add your own formats. Like this:
# A format validator must be a callable
# It must return bool value (true if format matched the data, false otherwise)
# A callable class:
$customFormat = new class()
{
function __invoke($value): bool
{
return $value === "good value";
}
};
# Or just a closure:
$customFormat = function ($value): bool {
return $value === "good value";
};
# Register your callable like this before validating your data
\League\OpenAPIValidation\Schema\TypeFormats\FormatsContainer::registerFormat('string', 'custom', $customFormat);

The package throws a list of various exceptions which you can catch and handle. There are some of them:
- Schema related:
