Migrating from SpringFox

  • Remove springfox and swagger 2 dependencies. Add springdoc-openapi-ui dependency instead.
   <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springdoc</groupId>
      <artifactId>springdoc-openapi-ui</artifactId>
      <version>@springdoc.version@</version>
   </dependency>
  • Replace swagger 2 annotations with swagger 3 annotations (it is already included with springdoc-openapi-ui dependency). Package for swagger 3 annotations is io.swagger.v3.oas.annotations.

    • @ApiParam -> @Parameter
    • @ApiOperation -> @Operation
    • @Api -> @Tag
    • @ApiImplicitParams -> @Parameters
    • @ApiImplicitParam -> @Parameter
    • @ApiIgnore -> @Parameter(hidden = true) or @Operation(hidden = true) or @Hidden
    • @ApiModel -> @Schema
    • @ApiModelProperty -> @Schema
  • This step is optional: Only if you have multiple Docket beans replace them with GroupedOpenApi beans.

    Before:

        @Bean
        public Docket publicApi() {
            return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2)
                    .select()
                    .apis(RequestHandlerSelectors.basePackage("org.github.springshop.web.public"))
                    .paths(PathSelectors.regex("/public.*"))
                    .build()
                    .groupName("springshop-public")
                    .apiInfo(apiInfo());
        }
    
        @Bean
        public Docket adminApi() {
            return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2)
                    .select()
                    .apis(RequestHandlerSelectors.basePackage("org.github.springshop.web.admin"))
                    .paths(PathSelectors.regex("/admin.*"))
                    .build()
                    .groupName("springshop-admin")
                    .apiInfo(apiInfo());
        }
    

    Now:

        @Bean
        public GroupedOpenApi publicApi() {
            return GroupedOpenApi.builder()
                    .setGroup("springshop-public")
                    .pathsToMatch("/public/**")
                    .build();
        }
    
        @Bean
        public GroupedOpenApi adminApi() {
            return GroupedOpenApi.builder()
                    .setGroup("springshop-admin")
                    .pathsToMatch("/admin/**")
                    .build();
        }
    

    If you have only one Docket -- remove it and instead add properties to your application.properties:

    springdoc.packagesToScan=package1, package2
    springdoc.pathsToMatch=/v1, /api/balance/**
    
  • Add bean of OpenAPI type. See example:

        @Bean
        public OpenAPI springShopOpenAPI() {
            return new OpenAPI()
                    .info(new Info().title("SpringShop API")
                    .description("Spring shop sample application")
                    .version("v0.0.1")
                    .license(new License().name("Apache 2.0").url("http://springdoc.org")))
                    .externalDocs(new ExternalDocumentation()
                    .description("SpringShop Wiki Documentation")
                    .url("https://springshop.wiki.github.org/docs"));
        }
    
  • If the swagger-ui is served behind a proxy:

  • To customise the Swagger UI

  • To hide an operation or a controller from documentation

You can update Swagger2 annotations to Swagger3 (supported by springdoc).

Both @ApiModel and @ApiModelProperty need to be replaced with @Schema (io.swagger.v3.oas.annotations.media.Schema)
