This project is inspired by Springfox. It documents asynchronous APIs using the AsyncAPI specification.

springwolf-ui adds a web UI, much like that of Springfox, and allows easy publishing of auto-generated payload examples.

Take a look at the Springwolf live demo.

The documentation and quickstart is available on springwolf.dev.

Springwolf exploits the fact that you already fully described your consumer endpoint (with listener annotations, such as @KafkaListener, @RabbitListener, @SqsListener, etc.) and generates the documentation based on this information.

The AsyncAPI conform documentation can be integrated into API hubs (like backstage) or be shared as a json/yaml file with others.

In projects using asynchronous APIs, you may often find yourself needing to manually send a message to some topic, whether you are manually testing a new feature, debugging or trying to understand some flow.

Using the automatically generated example payload object as a suggestion, you can publish it to the correct channel with a single click.

Protocols not supported natively can still be documented using @AsyncListener and @AsyncPublisher annotation. More details in the documentation.

Add the following to the repositories closure in build.gradle:

repositories {
    // ...
    maven {
        url "https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"
    }
}

Or add the repository to your pom.xml if you are using maven:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>oss-sonatype</id>
        <name>oss-sonatype</name>
        <url>https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </repository>
</repositories>

To work with local builds, run the publishToMavenLocal task. The current version number is set in .env file.
