API Documentation Implementation Summary

Status: ✅ COMPLETE

Comprehensive API documentation with Swagger/OpenAPI has been implemented for the Ajo platform.

Implementation Details

  • Parameter definitions

2. Enhanced Swagger UI ✅

File: backend/src/swagger.ts

Features:

  • Interactive API playground at /api-docs
  • Custom branding and styling
  • Persistent authorization
  • Request duration display
  • Filterable endpoints
  • Try-it-out functionality enabled
  • OpenAPI JSON spec at /api-docs.json
  • API info endpoint at /api-docs/info

Configuration:

- Custom CSS (hidden topbar)
- Custom site title
- Persistent authorization
- Display request duration
- Filter enabled
- Try-it-out enabled

3. Authentication Documentation ✅

File: backend/src/docs/authentication.md

Covers:

  • JWT authentication flow
  • Token generation process
  • Token usage in requests
  • Wallet integration (Freighter)
  • Code examples (TypeScript, cURL)
  • Error responses
  • Security best practices
  • Rate limiting
  • Token refresh
  • Troubleshooting guide

4. API Changelog ✅

File: backend/src/docs/changelog.md

Includes:

  • Version history (v1.0.0, v0.1.0)
  • Feature additions
  • Breaking changes
  • Bug fixes
  • API versioning policy
  • Migration guides
  • Deprecation notices
  • Rate limit documentation
  • Support information

5. Request/Response Examples ✅

File: backend/src/docs/examples/api-examples.ts

Examples for:

  • Groups (create, list, get, join, contribute)
  • Authentication (token generation)
  • Analytics (group, user)
  • Email (test, verify, unsubscribe, status)
  • Webhooks (register, payload)
  • Error responses (all types)

6. TypeScript SDK Generator ✅

File: backend/scripts/generate-sdk.ts

Features:

  • Auto-generates TypeScript SDK
  • Type-safe API client
  • Authentication handling
  • All endpoint methods
  • Example usage
  • Package.json generation
  • TypeScript configuration
  • README documentation

Usage:

npm run generate-sdk

Output:

  • sdk/index.ts - Main SDK file
  • sdk/package.json - Package configuration
  • sdk/tsconfig.json - TypeScript config
  • sdk/README.md - SDK documentation

7. Existing Route Documentation ✅

All routes already have Swagger JSDoc comments:

Health (routes/health.ts):

  • GET /api/health - Health check

Auth (routes/auth.ts):

  • POST /api/auth/token - Generate JWT token

  • POST /api/groups - Create group
  • GET /api/groups - List groups
  • GET /api/groups/:id - Get group
  • POST /api/groups/:id/join - Join group
  • POST /api/groups/:id/contribute - Contribute

Analytics (routes/analytics.ts):

  • GET /api/analytics/groups/:id - Group analytics
  • GET /api/analytics/user/:publicKey - User analytics

Email (routes/email.ts):

  • POST /api/email/test - Send test email
  • POST /api/email/verify - Verify email
