# openapi-2-kong This module generates Kong Declarative Config and Kong for Kubernetes config, from OpenAPI 3.0 specifications. - [openapi-2-kong](#openapi-2-kong) - [Library Usage](#library-usage) - [Usage Example](#usage-example) - [Kong Declarative Config](#kong-declarative-config) - [`$._format_version`](#_format_version) - [`$.services`](#services) - [`$.upstreams`](#upstreams) - [`$.services[*].routes`](#servicesroutes) - [`$..tags`](#tags) - [Kong for Kubernetes](#kong-for-kubernetes) - [Output structure](#output-structure) - [The `Ingress` document](#the-ingress-document) - [Source spec](#source-spec) - [Generated config](#generated-config) - [`$.metadata.name`](#metadataname) - [`$.metadata.annotations`](#metadataannotations) - [The `KongPlugin` and `KongIngress` resources](#the-kongplugin-and-kongingress-resources) - [Example](#example) - [Defaults](#defaults) - [Plugins](#plugins) - [Security Plugins](#security-plugins) - [Generic Plugins](#generic-plugins) - [Request Validator Plugin](#request-validator-plugin) ## Library Usage This module exposes three methods of generating Kong declarative config. ```ts export type ConversionResultType = 'kong-declarative-config' | 'kong-for-kubernetes'; export interface DeclarativeConfigResult { type: 'kong-declarative-config'; label: string; documents: DeclarativeConfig[]; warnings: Warning[]; } export interface KongForKubernetesResult { type: 'kong-for-kubernetes'; label: string; documents: K8sManifest[]; warnings: Warning[]; } export type ConversionResult = DeclarativeConfigResult | KongForKubernetesResult; generateFromSpec( spec: OpenApi3Spec, type: ConversionResultType, tags?: string[], ) => ConversionResult generateFromString( spec: string, type: ConversionResultType, tags?: string[], ) => Promise generate( filePath: string, type: ConversionResultType, tags?: string[], ) => Promise ``` ### Usage Example ```ts import { generateFromString, generateFromSpec, generate, } from 'openapi-2-kong'; import YAML from 'yaml'; import { writeFileSync } from 'fs'; const spec = ` openapi: "3.0.0" info: version: 1.0.0 title: Swagger Petstore servers: - url: http://petstore.swagger.io/v1 paths: /pets: get: summary: Get all pets `; const examples = async () => { const tags = [ 'MyTag' ]; const type: ConversionResultType = 'kong-declarative-config'; // or 'kong-for-kubernetes' // Generate a config from YAML string const config1 = await generateFromString(spec, type, tags); // Generate a config from a JavaScript Object const specObject = YAML.parse(spec); const config2 = generateFromSpec(specObject, type, tags); // Generate a config from a JSON string const specJSON = JSON.stringify(specObject); const config3 = await generateFromString(specJSON, type, tags); // generate a config from a file path writeFileSync('/tmp/spec.yaml', spec); const config4 = await generate('/tmp/spec.yaml', type, tags); console.log('Generated:', { config1, config2, config3, config4 }); }; ``` ## Kong Declarative Config The following documents the behavior for generating Kong Declarative Config from OpenAPI v3. ### `$._format_version` This attribute is hardcoded to `1.1` since that is currently the only version. ### `$.services` Kong services objects are generated mostly from the root `servers` property. ```yaml servers: - url: http://petstore.swagger.io/v1 ``` ```yaml services: - host: Simple_API_overview # Upstream name (see below) port: 80 # Port inferred from protocol if not specified path: "/v1" # Extracted from URL of the first `server` protocol: http # Extracted from URL of the first `server`, or defaulted to http name: Simple_API_overview # Service name (see below) routes: [] # tags: [] # ``` Or, if variables are used, their default values will be substituted. The following example will produce the same result ```yaml servers: - url: https://{subdomain}.swagger.io/v1 variables: subdomain: default: petstore enum: - petstore - shoestore ``` The service name is set to the following 1. Root `x-kong-name` attribute 1. Generated slug from `$.info.title` 1. Default to `openapi` as a last resort ### `$.upstreams` Upstreams and targets are generated from the `servers` root property. > Note: In OpenAPI, `servers` can be overridden on the `operation` or `path` object. These overrides are currently not supported by openapi-2-kong and will be ignored while generating config. One OpenAPI spec will result in one `service` and one `upstream`, and each individual `server` in the root `servers` property will become a `target` in the `upstream`. ```yaml servers: - url: http://petstore.swagger.io/v1 - url: https://swagger.io/v1 ``` ```yaml upstreams: - name: Simple_API_overview # Same as the service name targets: - target: petstore.swagger.io:80 # Derived from first server entry - target: swagger.io:443 # Derived from second server entry tags: [] # ``` ### `$.services[*].routes` Service routes are generated from the root `paths` property. One service route per path/method combination will be generated. ```yaml paths: /pets/{id}: x-kong-name: create-pet put: summary: List all pets tags: [ Tag ] responses: [ ... ] get: tags: [ Tag ] responses: [ ... ] ``` ```yaml services: - ... routes: - name: ApiName-create-pet # Taken from x-kong-name, summary, or generated strip_path: false # Defaults to `false` methods: [ PUT ] # Only ever a single-entry array paths: [ '\/pets/(?\S+)$' ] # Kong regex-formatted path with variables tags: [ Tag ] # ``` Route names are constructed from the template `--`. - `APIName`: Name taken from the global API object, prefixed to ensure uniqueness across services - `Method`: Route's HTTP method - `PathName`: Pulled from `x-kong-name`, `operationId`, or a path slug ### `$..tags` Each generated entity will get the tags as specified as well as the following tags: - `OAS3_import` - `OAS3file_` Tags can also be passed to this tool, which will be appended to the existing tags of all created resources. ## Kong for Kubernetes ### Output structure The Kong for Kubernetes config will contain at least one `Ingress` document per server. Depending on where Kong plugins (`x-kong-plugin-`) exist in the specification, several `Ingress` documents may be created, in addition to `KongPlugin` and `KongIngress` documents. `KongPlugin` and `KongIngress` resource documents can be reused, and are applied to the specs in an `Ingress` document via metadata annotations. ### The `Ingress` document **At least** one `Ingress` document will be generated for each server. How many are required for each server, will be determined by the presence of `KongPlugin` and `KongIngress` resources that need to be applied to specific paths.
Example #### Source spec ```yaml openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Insomnia API servers: - url: http://one.insomnia.rest/v1 - url: http://two.insomnia.rest/v2 paths: ``` #### Generated config ```yaml apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 kind: Ingress metadata: name: insomnia-api-1 annotations: kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "kong" spec: rules: - host: one.insomnia.rest http: paths: - path: /v1/.* backend: service: name: insomnia-api-service-0 port: number: 80 pathType: 'ImplementationSpecific' --- apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 kind: Ingress metadata: name: insomnia-api-2 annotations: kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "kong" spec: rules: - host: two.insomnia.rest http: paths: - path: /v2/.* backend: service: name: insomnia-api-service-1 port: number: 80 pathType: 'ImplementationSpecific' ```
#### `$.metadata.name` The `Ingress` document `metadata.name` is derived from sections in the source specification. If several are present, then the highest priority is selected. If none are present, then the fallback name is `openapi`. The name is also converted to a lowercase slug. Each of the following specifications generate an `Ingress` document with the following name: ```yaml apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 kind: Ingress metadata: name: insomnia-api ... ``` In priority order, these sections are: - `$.info.x-kubernetes-ingress-metadata.name` ```yaml openapi: 3.0.0 info: x-kubernetes-ingress-metadata: name: Insomnia API ... ``` - `$.x-kong-name` ```yaml openapi: 3.0.0 x-kong-name: Insomnia API ... ``` - `$.info.title` ```yaml openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Insomnia API ... ``` #### `$.metadata.annotations` Annotations can be used to configure an Ingress document. This configuration applies to that entire Ingress document. 1. Any annotations that exist under `$.info.x-kubernetes-ingress-metadata.annotations` in the source specification are added automatically 1. `KongPlugin` and `KongIngress` resources may be generated. These are added to the Ingress document as: - `konghq.com/plugins` references multiple `KongPlugin` resources via a comma separated string containing resource names - `konghq.com/override` references single `KongIngress` resource via the resource name ### The `KongPlugin` and `KongIngress` resources If plugins are found in the OpenAPI spec (see [Plugins](#plugins)), then they are converted to `KongPlugin` resources by the Kong for Kubernetes config generator, before being applied to the `Ingress` document via [metadata annotations](#metadataannotations). If a plugin is found on an `operation` object in a path in the OpenAPI spec, then an additional `KongIngress` resource is generated, that refers to the operation (`GET`, `POST`, etc). ### Example This example combines all of the information in the previous sections. The input specification contains: - `x-kubernetes-ingress-metadata` to provide a document name and default annotations - a global plugin at the OpenAPI spec level - two servers, with s1 containing a plugin - two paths with one operation - no plugins on the first path and operation - no plugin on the second path, but one on the operation
Input OpenAPI specification ```yaml openapi: 3.0.0 info: x-kubernetes-ingress-metadata: name: insomnia-api # Kubernetes Ingress document name annotations: # Annotations to automatically apply 'example': 'example' x-kong-plugin-custom-global: # Global plugin to always be applied name: custom-global enabled: true config: key_in_body: false servers: - url: http://one.insomnia.rest/v1 - url: http://two.insomnia.rest/v2 x-kong-plugin-custom-server: # Server plugin to be applied to documents for this server name: custom-server enabled: true paths: '/path': post: summary: Some functionality # A path with no plugins on the path or operations in it '/another-path': get: summary: Some functionality x-kong-plugin-key-auth: # Operation plugin on GET /another-path name: key-auth enabled: true config: key_names: [api_key, apikey] key_in_body: false hide_credentials: true ```
The resultant spec creates: - four unique `Ingress` documents (two servers, two paths, one operation each), - three `KongPlugin` documents (global, server, operation plugin), - one `KongIngress` document (GET operation containing plugin)

## Defaults While properties for the generated entities will have properties derived from the OpenAPI spec, you may choose to specify defaults for certain properties. You can specify these defaults using the following keys: - `x-kong-service-defaults` applied to the `root` object - `x-kong-upstream-defaults` applied to the `root` object - `x-kong-route-defaults` applied to the `root`, `path` or `operation` object These defaults are only supported by the Declarative Config generator currently. ## Plugins ### Security Plugins The `security` property can be defined on the top-level `openapi` object as well as on `operation` objects. The information contained cannot be directly mapped onto Kong, due to the logical and/or nature of how the specs have been set up. To overcome this Kong will only accept a single `securityScheme` from the `security` property. The additional properties that Kong supports on its plugins can be configured by using custom extensions. The custom extensions are `x-kong-security-`. Supported types are: - `oauth2` - NOT YET IMPLEMENTED! - `openIdConnect` - implemented using the Kong plugin `openid-connect` - extended by: `x-kong-security-openid-connect` - properties set from OpenAPI spec: - `issuer` (from `openIdConnectUrl` property) - `scopes_required` will get the combined set of scopes from the extension defaults and the scopes from the Security Requirement Object - `apiKey` - except for the `in` property, since the Kong plugin will by default look in header and query already. Cookie is not supported. - implemented using the Kong plugin `key-auth` - extended by: `x-kong-security-key-auth` - properties set from OpenAPI spec: - `key_names` will get the defaults from the extension and then the `name` from the `securityScheme` object will be added to that list - requires to add credentials to Kong, which is not supported through OpenAPI specs. - `http` - only `Basic` scheme is supported - implemented using the Kong plugin `basic-auth` - extended by: `x-kong-security-basic-auth` - properties set from OpenAPI spec: - none - requires to add credentials to Kong, which is not supported through OpenAPI specs. ### Generic Plugins Generic plugins can be added on various objects in the OpenAPI spec. The custom extension to use is `x-kong-plugin-`. The `name` property is not required (since it's already in the extension name). Optional properties not specified will get Kong defaults. Currently, plugins are supported on the following OpenAPI objects by each generator: - Declarative Config: `OpenAPI root`, `path` and `operation` - plugins on the `root` will be configured on a Kong `service` - plugins on the `path` or `operation` will be configured on a Kong `route` - Kong for Kubernetes: `OpenAPI root`, `server`, `path`, `operation` If the _same_ plugin exists in several sections, then the more specific section will take precedence. These sections are: 1. `operation` (most specific) 1. `path` 1. `server` 1. `OpenAPI` object (least specific) This extension needs to hold an object that contains the entire plugin config. ```yaml x-kong-plugin-key-auth: name: key-auth enabled: true config: key_names: [api_key, apikey] key_in_body: false hide_credentials: true ``` References are also supported, so this is valid as well (provided the reference exists): ```yaml x-kong-plugin-key-auth: $ref: '#/components/kong/plugins/key_auth_config' ``` ### Request Validator Plugin To enable validation the `request-validator` plugin can be added to the `root`, `path` or `operation` object of the Spec and whichever is more specific will be used. You can either specify the full configuration, or have the missing properties be auto-generated based on the OpenAPI spec. The `request-validator` plugin has three [parameters](https://docs.konghq.com/hub/kong-inc/request-validator/#parameters) which can be generated. These are: - `config.body_schema` - `config.parameter_schema` - `config.allowed_content_types` If any of these are _not_ specified in the `x-kong-plugin-request-validator.config` object in the OpenAPI spec, they will be generated if possible, otherwise will be configured to allow all body/parameter/content types. ```yaml paths: /: post: parameters: - in: path name: query required: true schema: anyOf: - type: string x-kong-plugin-request-validator: enabled: true ```
