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.

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"});        });    }}
