Add `host`, `basePath` and `schemes` to swagger.json using Swashbuckle Aspnetcore

Question

I am using official doc step by step method to configure Swagger UI and generate Swagger JSON file in my ASP.NET core API application.

Get started with Swashbuckle and ASP.NET Core

If I look at my generated swagger.json file - it is missing three important properties host , basePath and schemes

Please help me understand what piece of code can I add so the swagger.json that gets generated will have following mentioned properties/values.

Here is an ideal swagger.json - give attention to the host , basePath and schemes values which are missing if I follow the documentation code in my application

{
  "swagger": "2.0",
  "info": {
    "version": "v1",
    "title": "Demo API Title"
  },
  "host": "some-url-that-is-hosted-on-azure.azurewebsites.net",
  "basePath": "/api",
  "schemes": ["https"],
  "paths": {
    "/Account/Test": {
      "post": {
        "tags": [
          "Admin"
        ],
        "summary": "Account test method - POST",
        "operationId": "AccountTest",
        "consumes": [],
        "produces": [
          "text/plain",
          "application/json",
          "text/json"
        ],
        "parameters": [],
        "responses": {
          "200": {
            "description": "Success",
            "schema": {
              "type": "boolean"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "definitions": {
    "NumberSearchResult": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "number": {
          "type": "string"
        },
        "location": {
          "type": "string"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "securityDefinitions": {
    "Bearer": {
      "name": "Authorization",
      "in": "header",
      "type": "apiKey",
      "description": "Authorization. Example: \"Authorization: Bearer {token}\""
    }
  },
  "security": [
    {
      "Bearer": []
    }
  ]
}

Answer 1

There are some changes in latest version of Swashbuckle for .netcore

If you wish to change Request URL in Swashbuckle, maybe you are behind API gateway or have custom domain attached to your webapp. Do this.

1. Create Document filter

public class BasePathDocumentFilter: IDocumentFilter { public void Apply(OpenApiDocument swaggerDoc, DocumentFilterContext context) { swaggerDoc.Servers = new List<OpenApiServer>() { new OpenApiServer() { Url = "hxxt://yoursite" } }; } }

2. In your startup file.In services.AddSwaggerGen() method add document filter like this c.DocumentFilter<BasePathDocumentFilter>();

Answer 2

Swagger / open api 3.0 and higher requires the server object. See: https://swagger.io/specification/#server-object

To set it in your startup like this

app.UseSwagger(c =>
{
    c.PreSerializeFilters.Add((swagger, httpReq) =>
    {
        swagger.Servers = new List<OpenApiServer> { new OpenApiServer { Url = $"{httpReq.Scheme}://{httpReq.Host.Value}" } };
    });
});

Answer 3

You can implement and register your own IDocumentFilter and set the desired values there.

public class MyDocumentFilter : IDocumentFilter
{
    public void Apply(SwaggerDocument swaggerDoc, SchemaRegistry schemaRegistry, IApiExplorer apiExplorer)
    {
        swaggerDoc.Host = "some-url-that-is-hosted-on-azure.azurewebsites.net";
        swaggerDoc.BasePath = "/api";
        swaggerDoc.Schemes = new List<string> { "https" };
    }
}

And then register it via

services.AddSwaggerGen(options =>
{
    options.DocumentFilter<MyDocumentFilter>();
});

Edit (09SEP20) Here's some code snippets that applies to version 4.xx of the asp.netcore Swashbuckle library

In future I might make another post in case the below is more straightforward with new versions (at time of writing it's at version 5.xx)

sample appsettings.Development.json

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Warning",
      "Microsoft.Hosting.*": "Information"
    }
  },
  "Swagger": {
    "ApiVersion": "localhost",
    "ApiName": "v1",
    "SwaggerRelativeUrl": "/swagger/v1/swagger.json",
    "Title": "SalesforceLocationApi"
  }
}

sample c# code

    namespace My.Api.Settings
    {
        public class SwaggerSettings
        {
            public string? ApiName { get; set; }
            public string? ApiVersion { get; set; }
            public string? SwaggerRelativeUrl { get; set; }
            public string? Title { get; set; }
        }
    }

    }

I'm using Swashbuckle.AspNetCore Nuget version 4.0.1

I needed to dynamically add the host depending on where the app is hosted.

This was my fix

1. I your startup.cs add IHttpContextAccessor to your services

2. In your swagger config, add a DocFilter, like so:

Answer 5

So in .net core 3 and Open Api - Nswag.AspNetCore version 13.3.2 nuget.

    app.UseOpenApi( configure => { 
        configure.PostProcess = (doc, httpReq) =>
        {
            doc.Servers.Clear(); //... remove local host, added via asp .net core
            doc.Servers.Add(new OpenApiServer { Url = "[YOUR SERVER URL]" });  //... add server
        };

    });
