Adding OAuth security definition to API operations

When an API is secured via OAuth, it is helpful if the Open API documentation makes this clear via a security scheme and the API operations that require authentication/authorization automatically inform the consumer that it is possible that a 403 Forbidden or 401 Unauthorized response is returned. The OAuthAuthorizeOperationFilter that is part of this package exposes this functionality.

Installation

Usage

To indicate that an API is protected by OAuth, you need to add AuthorizeCheckOperationFilter as an OperationFilter when configuring Swashbuckles Swagger generation:

using Arcus.WebApi.OpenApi.Extensions;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Swagger;

public class Startup
{
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddSwaggerGen(setupAction =>
{
setupAction.SwaggerDoc("v1", new Info { Title = "My API v1", Version = "v1" });
setupAction.AddSecurityDefinition("oauth2", new OAuth2Scheme
{
Flow = "implicit",
AuthorizationUrl = $"{authorityUrl}connect/authorize",
Scopes = scopes
});
setupAction.OperationFilter<OAuthAuthorizeOperationFilter>(new object[] {new [] {"myApiScope1", "myApiScope2"});
});
}
}
