现在Web开发越来越倾向于前后端分离，前端使用AngularJS，React，Vue等，部署在NodeJS上，后面采用SpringBoot发布Rest服务，前后端进行分离。这样的架构灵活且特别适合大型团队的协作开发。 那么问题来了，因为前端都是和后端通过API进行交互的，那么如果后端没有开发完成，前端的进度超前了，难道前端要等后端开发完了才能继续当前或者下一个功能的开发吗？ 有没有一种方式可以不必等后端的API实现开发完，前端也能把相应的功能渲染出来呢？其实方案有很多种，比如用deployd， swagger+Node等方式，或者通过Swagger+EasyMock。
其实笔者认为deloyd也挺好用的,大家可以参考这篇文章。

但是由于在Swagger提供的功能更为强大，不但可以与SpringBoot集成，还可以与NodeJS集成，还能通过网页进行在线编辑API的接口定义，更为牛的是还能生成的接口网页上直接进行测试。既然功能这么强大，我想其应该有和deployd类似的功能，结果还真被我发现了，只不过配置起来比deployd稍微复杂一些。

1. 首先安装swagger

加上读者已经安装了最新版的nodejs，然后在cmd上输入下面的命令

npm install -g swagger

2. 创建一个swagger的项目

swagger project create movie-collection

创建好后项目结构如下：

-- api  
---- controllers 
------ hello_world.js
---- helpers
---- mocks
---- swagger
------ swagger.yaml

-- config 
---- default.yaml

-- test
---- api
------ controllers
-------- hello_world.js
------ helpers

-- app.js
-- package.json

3. 启动当前的swagger的编辑页面

swagger project edit

将会打开当前的swagger的编辑界面，然后在左边的编辑页面输入下面的swagger的yaml描述

swagger: "2.0"
info:
  version: "0.0.1"

其定义了下面的一些API REST接口，

4. 编辑 在api–>Controllers目录下新建一个movie.js文件

上面的API已经暴露出来了，但是直接调用的话，是调用不成功的。因为我们刚刚生成的swagger项目没有启动，movie-collection，为了返回我们想要的数据，
我们可以修改api–>Controllers–>movie.js文件，在修改文件之前，我们先安装一个nodejs的内存数据库包：crypto ，安装命令如下：

npm install crypto --save

安装好后，修改hello_world.js文件，把下面的代码黏贴上。

'use strict';
    // Include our "db"
    var db = require('../../config/db')();
    // Exports all the functions to perform on the db
    module.exports = {getAll, save, getOne, update, delMovie};

    //GET /movie operationId
    function getAll(req, res, next) {
      res.json({ movies: db.find()});
    }
    //POST /movie operationId
    function save(req, res, next) {
        res.json({success: db.save(req.body), description: "Movie added to the list!"});
    }
    //GET /movie/{id} operationId
    function getOne(req, res, next) {
        var id = req.swagger.params.id.value; //req.swagger contains the path parameters
        var movie = db.find(id);
        if(movie) {
            res.json(movie);
        }else {
            res.status(204).send();
        }
    }
    //PUT /movie/{id} operationId
    function update(req, res, next) {
        var id = req.swagger.params.id.value; //req.swagger contains the path parameters
        var movie = req.body;
        if(db.update(id, movie)){
            res.json({success: 1, description: "Movie updated!"});
        }else{
            res.status(204).send();
        }

    }
    //DELETE /movie/{id} operationId
    function delMovie(req, res, next) {
        var id = req.swagger.params.id.value; //req.swagger contains the path parameters
        if(db.remove(id)){
            res.json({success: 1, description: "Movie deleted!"});
        }else{
            res.status(204).send();
        }

    }

5. 启动movie-collection的swagger项目

通过下面的命令启动swagger的movie-collection项目

swagger project start

注意不能通过下面的命令启动，否则其只会启动debug模式

swagger project start -m

6. 直接swager edit页面进行测试

比如我们新创建一个movie的记录，从下面可以看出其创建成功了。

在创建一条，

然后，在得到所有的记录，可知前面两条记录创建成功。
