openapi-2-kong
This module generates Kong Declarative Config and Kong for Kubernetes config, from OpenAPI 3.0 specifications.
Library Usage
This module exposes three methods of generating Kong declarative config.
export type ConversionResultType = 'kong-declarative-config' | 'kong-for-kubernetes';
export interface DeclarativeConfigResult {
type: 'kong-declarative-config';
label: string;
documents: DeclarativeConfig[];
warnings: Warning[];
}
export interface KongForKubernetesResult {
type: 'kong-for-kubernetes';
label: string;
documents: K8sManifest[];
warnings: Warning[];
}
export type ConversionResult = DeclarativeConfigResult | KongForKubernetesResult;
generateFromSpec(
spec: OpenApi3Spec,
type: ConversionResultType,
tags?: string[],
) => ConversionResult
generateFromString(
spec: string,
type: ConversionResultType,
tags?: string[],
) => Promise<ConversionResult>
generate(
filePath: string,
type: ConversionResultType,
tags?: string[],
) => Promise<ConversionResult>
Usage Example
import {
generateFromString,
generateFromSpec,
generate,
} from 'openapi-2-kong';
import YAML from 'yaml';
import { writeFileSync } from 'fs';
const spec = `

const examples = async () => {
const tags = [ 'MyTag' ];
const type: ConversionResultType = 'kong-declarative-config'; // or 'kong-for-kubernetes'
// Generate a config from YAML string
const config1 = await generateFromString(spec, type, tags);
// Generate a config from a JavaScript Object
const specObject = YAML.parse(spec);
const config2 = generateFromSpec(specObject, type, tags);
// Generate a config from a JSON string
const specJSON = JSON.stringify(specObject);
const config3 = await generateFromString(specJSON, type, tags);
// generate a config from a file path
writeFileSync('/tmp/spec.yaml', spec);
const config4 = await generate('/tmp/spec.yaml', type, tags);
console.log('Generated:', { config1, config2, config3, config4 });
};
Kong Declarative Config
The following documents the behavior for generating Kong Declarative Config from OpenAPI v3.
$._format_version
This attribute is hardcoded to 1.1 since that is currently the only version.
$.services
Kong services objects are generated mostly from the root servers property.
servers:
- url: http://petstore.swagger.io/v1
services:
- host: Simple_API_overview # Upstream name (see below)
port: 80 # Port inferred from protocol if not specified
path: "/v1" # Extracted from URL of the first `server`
protocol: http # Extracted from URL of the first `server`, or defaulted to http
name: Simple_API_overview # Service name (see below)
routes: [] # <documented later>
tags: [] # <documented later>
Or, if variables are used, their default values will be substituted. The following example will produce the same result
servers:
- url: https://{subdomain}.swagger.io/v1
variables:
subdomain:
default: petstore
enum:
- petstore
- shoestore
The service name is set to the following
- Root
x-kong-nameattribute - Generated slug from
$.info.title - Default to
openapias a last resort
$.upstreams
Upstreams and targets are generated from the servers root property (note that servers defined on operation or path objects are ignored).
One OpenAPI spec will result in one service and one upstream, and each individual server in the root servers property will become a target in the upstream.
servers:
- url: http://petstore.swagger.io/v1
- url: https://swagger.io/v1
upstreams:
- name: Simple_API_overview # Same as the service name
targets:
- target: petstore.swagger.io:80 # Derived from first server entry
- target: swagger.io:443 # Derived from second server entry
tags: [] # <documented later>
$.services[*].routes
Service routes are generated from the root paths property. One service route per path/method
combination will be generated.
paths:
/pets/{id}:
x-kong-name: create-pet
put:
summary: List all pets
tags: [ Tag ]
responses: [ ... ]
get:
tags: [ Tag ]
responses: [ ... ]
services:
- ...
routes:
- name: ApiName-create-pet # Taken from x-kong-name, summary, or generated
strip_path: false # Defaults to `false`
methods: [ PUT ] # Only ever a single-entry array
paths: [ '\/pets/(?<id>\S+)$' ] # Kong regex-formatted path with variables
tags: [ Tag ] # <documented later>
Route names are constructed from the template <APIName>-<PathName>-<Method>.
APIName: Name taken from the global API object, prefixed to ensure uniqueness across servicesMethod: Route's HTTP methodPathName: Pulled fromx-kong-name,operationId, or a path slug
$..tags
Each generated entity will get the tags as specified as well as the following tags:
OAS3_importOAS3file_<filename>
Tags can also be passed to this tool, which will be appended to the existing tags of all created resources.
Kong for Kubernetes
Output structure
The Kong for Kubernetes config will contain at least one Ingress document per server. Depending on where
Kong plugins (x-kong-plugin-<plugin-name>) exist in the specification, several Ingress documents may be created, in addition to
KongPlugin and KongIngress documents.
KongPlugin and KongIngress resource documents can be reused, and are applied to the specs in an Ingress document
via metadata annotations.
The Ingress document
At least one Ingress document will be generated for each server. How many are required for each server, will be
determined by the presence of KongPlugin and KongIngress resources that need to be applied to specific paths.
Example
Source spec
openapi: 3.0.0

$.metadata.name
The Ingress document metadata.name is derived from sections in the source specification. If several are present, then the highest priority is selected. If none are present, then the fallback name is openapi.
The name is also converted to a lowercase slug.
Each of the following specifications generate an Ingress document with the following name:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: insomnia-api
...
In priority order, these sections are:
-
$.info.x-kubernetes-ingress-metadata.nameopenapi: 3.0.0 info: x-kubernetes-ingress-metadata: name: Insomnia API ... -
$.x-kong-nameopenapi: 3.0.0 x-kong-name: Insomnia API ... -
$.info.titleopenapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Insomnia API ...
$.metadata.annotations
Annotations can be used to configure an Ingress document. This configuration applies to that entire Ingress document.
- Any annotations that exist under
$.info.x-kubernetes-ingress-metadata.annotationsin the source specification are added automatically KongPluginandKongIngressresources may be generated. These are added to the Ingress document as:konghq.com/pluginsreferences multipleKongPluginresources via a comma separated string containing resource nameskonghq.com/overridereferences singleKongIngressresource via the resource name
The KongPlugin and KongIngress resources
If plugins are found in the OpenAPI spec (see Plugins), then they are converted to KongPlugin resources
by the Kong for Kubernetes config generator, before being applied to the Ingress document via metadata annotations.
If a plugin is found on an operation object in a path in the OpenAPI spec, then an additional KongIngress resource is generated,
that refers to the operation (GET, POST, etc).
Example
This example combines all of the information in the previous sections. The input specification contains:
x-kubernetes-ingress-metadatato provide a document name and default annotations- a global plugin at the OpenAPI spec level
- two servers, with s1 containing a plugin
- two paths with one operation
- no plugins on the first path and operation
- no plugin on the second path, but one on the operation
Input OpenAPI specification
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
x-kubernetes-ingress-metadata:
name: insomnia-api # Kubernetes Ingress document name
annotations: # Annotations to automatically apply
'example': 'example'
x-kong-plugin-custom-global: # Global plugin to always be applied
name: custom-global
enabled: true
config:
key_in_body: false
servers:

x-kong-plugin-custom-server: # Server plugin to be applied to documents for this server
name: custom-server
enabled: true
paths:
'/path':
post:
summary: Some functionality # A path with no plugins on the path or operations in it

name: key-auth
enabled: true
config:
key_names: [api_key, apikey]
key_in_body: false
hide_credentials: true
The resultant spec creates:
- four unique
Ingressdocuments (two servers, two paths, one operation each), - three
KongPlugindocuments (global, server, operation plugin), - one
KongIngressdocument (GET operation containing plugin)

Defaults
While properties for the generated entities will have properties derived from the OpenAPI spec, you may choose to specify defaults for certain properties. You can specify these defaults using the following keys:
x-kong-service-defaultsapplied to therootobjectx-kong-upstream-defaultsapplied to therootobjectx-kong-route-defaultsapplied to theroot,pathoroperationobject
These defaults are only supported by the Declarative Config generator currently.
Plugins
Security Plugins
The security property can be defined on the top-level openapi object as well
as on operation objects. The information contained cannot be directly mapped
onto Kong, due to the logical and/or nature of how the specs have been set up.
To overcome this Kong will only accept a single securityScheme from the security
property.
The additional properties that Kong supports on its plugins can be configured
by using custom extensions. The custom extensions are
x-kong-security-<plugin-name>.
Supported types are:
oauth2- NOT YET IMPLEMENTED!
- except for the implicit flow
- implemented using the Kong plugin
openid-connect - extended by:
x-kong-security-openid-connect
openIdConnect- implemented using the Kong plugin
openid-connect - extended by:
x-kong-security-openid-connect - properties set from OpenAPI spec:
issuer(fromopenIdConnectUrlproperty)scopes_requiredwill get the combined set of scopes from the extension defaults and the scopes from the Security Requirement Object
- implemented using the Kong plugin
apiKey- except for the
inproperty, since the Kong plugin will by default look in header and query already. Cookie is not supported. - implemented using the Kong plugin
key-auth - extended by:
x-kong-security-key-auth - properties set from OpenAPI spec:
key_nameswill get the defaults from the extension and then thenamefrom thesecuritySchemeobject will be added to that list
- requires to add credentials to Kong, which is not supported through OpenAPI specs.
- except for the
http- only
Basicscheme is supported - implemented using the Kong plugin
basic-auth - extended by:
x-kong-security-basic-auth - properties set from OpenAPI spec:
- none
- requires to add credentials to Kong, which is not supported through OpenAPI specs.
- only
Generic Plugins
Generic plugins can be added on various objects in the OpenAPI spec. The custom extension to
use is x-kong-plugin-<plugin-name>. The name property is not required
(since it's already in the extension name). Optional properties not specified
will get Kong defaults.
Currently, plugins are supported on the following OpenAPI objects by each generator:
- Declarative Config:
OpenAPI root,pathandoperation- plugins on the
rootwill be configured on a Kongservice - plugins on the
pathoroperationwill be configured on a Kongroute
- plugins on the
- Kong for Kubernetes:
OpenAPI root,server,path,operation
If the same plugin exists in several sections, then the more specific section will take precedence. These sections are:
operation(most specific)pathserverOpenAPIobject (least specific)
This extension needs to hold an object that contains the entire plugin config.
x-kong-plugin-key-auth:
name: key-auth
enabled: true
config:
key_names: [api_key, apikey]
key_in_body: false
hide_credentials: true
References are also supported, so this is valid as well (provided the reference exists):
x-kong-plugin-key-auth:
$ref: '#/components/kong/plugins/key_auth_config'
Request Validator Plugin
To enable validation the request-validator plugin can be added to the root, path or operation object of the Spec and whichever is more specific will be used. You can either specify the full configuration, or have the missing properties be auto-generated based on the OpenAPI spec.
The request-validator plugin has three parameters which can be generated. These are:
config.body_schemaconfig.parameter_schemaconfig.allowed_content_types
If any of these are not specified in the x-kong-plugin-request-validator.config object in the OpenAPI spec, they will be generated if possible, otherwise will be configured to allow all body/parameter/content types.
