SQL functions to build the OpenAPI output of a PostgREST instance.

• The first step in the roadmap is to migrate the OpenAPI spec from the PostgREST core repository (version 2.0 to 3.1):
  • Info object
  • Server object (replaces host, basePath and schemes from OAS 2.0)
  • Components object
    • Schemas (definitions in OAS 2.0)
    • Security scheme (security definitions in OAS 2.0)
    • Parameters
    • Responses (produces in OAS 2.0 - simple implementation)
    • Request bodies (consumes in OAS 2.0 - simple implementation)
  • Paths object
• The next step is to fix the issues tagged with OpenAPI in the core repo.

make && sudo make install

For testing on your local database:

# this will load fixtures in a contrib_regression db on your local postgres
make fixtures

# run the tests, they can be run repeatedly
make installcheck

# to clean the fixtures you can use
make clean

For an isolated and reproducible enviroment you can use Nix.

# to run tests
nix-shell --run "with-pg-15 make installcheck"

# to interact with the local database with fixtures loaded
nix-shell --run "with-pg-15 psql contrib_regression"

# you can choose the pg version
nix-shell --run "with-pg-13 make installcheck"
