With the development of the Internet, Web API (Application Programming Interface) is becoming more and more common and important. For a Web API provider, it is very necessary to write complete and easy-to-understand API documentation. Currently, there are many tools that can easily generate API documentation, the most popular of which is Swagger. But in this article, I will focus on how to use the API interface document management provided in the ThinkPHP6 framework to manage API documents.

1. Install the document management extension

First, we need to install the API document management extension in the ThinkPHP6 project, which is called "topthink/think-apidoc". You can use the Composer command line tool in the project root directory to install:

composer require topthink/think-apidoc

2. Write API interface documentation

After the installation is complete, we can start writing API interface documentation . In ThinkPHP6, we can use annotations in controller methods to write API interface documents. For example:

/**
 * 獲取用戶信息
 *
 * @ApiTitle    (獲取用戶信息)
 * @ApiSummary  (通過(guò)用戶ID獲取用戶信息)
 * @ApiMethod   (GET)
 * @ApiRoute    (/user/:id)
 * @ApiParams   (name="id", type="integer", required=true, description="用戶ID")
 * @ApiReturn   ({"code": 200, "msg": "success", "data": {"id": 1, "name": "張三", "age": 18}})
 * @ApiHeaders  (name="Authorization", type="string", required=true, description="用戶授權(quán)Token")
 */
public function getUserInfo($id)
{
    // TODO: 獲取用戶信息的邏輯
}

In the above comments, we used some different annotations to describe the API interface:

• @ApiTitle: Interface name
• @ApiSummary: Interface introduction
• @ApiMethod: Request method (GET, POST, PUT, etc.)
• @ApiRoute: Interface routing (such as "/user/:id", where ":id" represents dynamic parameters)
• @ApiParams: Interface parameters, including parameter name, parameter type, whether it is required and parameter description, etc.
• @ApiReturn: Interface return value, including the format of the return value and the description of the return value
• @ApiHeaders: Interface header information (such as Authorization)

With the above comments, we can clearly describe the basic information of an API interface.

3. Generate API documentation

After writing the API interface document, we can use the command line tool provided by ThinkPHP6 to generate the API document. Just run the following command in the project root directory:

php think apidoc --module api --path ./public/apidoc --type json

In the above command, we specified the storage path of apido and the generated document type (the json format is selected here). Note that we also specified the --module parameter as "api", which means we only generate API documentation for the "api" module. In actual applications, you can choose according to your needs.

After running the above command, we can find the generated API document in the specified storage path. At this point, we can pass them to the interface users to facilitate them to understand the basic information of the API interface.

Thinking questions:

If you use the document management extension in an existing project and add comments to the corresponding controllers and methods, then you execute the second After three steps of operation, what do you expect the generated API interface document to look like?
