# Auto-Generated Swagger Bindings to `SwaggerPetstore` The library in `lib` provides auto-generated-from-Swagger bindings to the SwaggerPetstore API. ## Installation Installation follows the standard approach to installing Stack-based projects. 1. Install the [Haskell `stack` tool](http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README). 2. Run `stack install` to install this package. ## Main Interface The main interface to this library is in the `SwaggerPetstore.API` module, which exports the SwaggerPetstoreBackend type. The SwaggerPetstoreBackend type can be used to create and define servers and clients for the API. ## Creating a Client A client can be created via the `createSwaggerPetstoreClient` function, which, if provided with a hostname and a port, will generate a client that can be used to access the API if it is being served at that hostname / port combination. For example, if `localhost:8080` is serving the SwaggerPetstore API, you can write: ```haskell {-# LANGUAGE RecordWildCards #-} import SwaggerPetstore.API main :: IO () main = do SwaggerPetstoreBackend{..} <- createSwaggerPetstoreClient (ServerConfig "localhost" 8080) -- Any SwaggerPetstore API call can go here. return () ``` ## Creating a Server In order to create a server, you must use the `runSwaggerPetstoreServer` function. However, you unlike the client, in which case you *got* a `SwaggerPetstoreBackend` from the library, you must instead *provide* a `SwaggerPetstoreBackend`. For example, if you have defined handler functions for all the functions in `SwaggerPetstore.Handlers`, you can write: ```haskell {-# LANGUAGE RecordWildCards #-} import SwaggerPetstore.API -- A module you wrote yourself, containing all handlers needed for the SwaggerPetstoreBackend type. import SwaggerPetstore.Handlers -- Run a SwaggerPetstore server on localhost:8080 main :: IO () main = do let server = SwaggerPetstoreBackend{..} runSwaggerPetstoreServer (ServerConfig "localhost" 8080) server ``` You could use `optparse-applicative` or a similar library to read the host and port from command-line arguments: ``` {-# LANGUAGE RecordWildCards #-} module Main (main) where import SwaggerPetstore.API (runSwaggerPetstoreServer, SwaggerPetstoreBackend(..), ServerConfig(..)) import Control.Applicative ((<$>), (<*>)) import Options.Applicative (execParser, option, str, auto, long, metavar, help) main :: IO () main = do config <- parseArguments runSwaggerPetstoreServer config SwaggerPetstoreBackend{} -- | Parse host and port from the command line arguments. parseArguments :: IO ServerConfig parseArguments = execParser $ ServerConfig <$> option str (long "host" <> metavar "HOST" <> help "Host to serve on") <*> option auto (long "port" <> metavar "PORT" <> help "Port to serve on") ```
