Path grouping via a RegEx pattern

[cascer1]

Hi!

I'm testing this tool using a large API spec (the Globalcollect S2S API, to be specific), and having just one list of endpoints isn't very useful.

Instead, it would be awesome if I could define (for example) a RegEx pattern for headers, which is then used for grouping paths.

For example: The Globalcollect API has endpoints in categories like payments, payouts and products:

• POST {merchantId}/payments
• GET {merchantId}/payments/{id}
• POST {merchantId}/payments/{id}/approve
• POST {merchantId}/payments/{id}/cancel
• POST {merchantId}/payouts
• GET {merchantId}/payouts/{id}
• GET {merchantId}/products
• POST {merchantId}/products
• GET {merchantId}/products/{id}
• etc. (You get the idea).

In another tool I'm developing, I added the ability to match endpoints to a RegEx, and assign them to a category if they match, the categories are generated based on the first capture groups in the patterns. Using the example above, I then match them with RegEx \/{merchantId}\/(\w+)$

This results in the categories payments, payouts and products being created. All paths are then put inside these categories. This results in the following structure (All paths have a description so they can get a pretty name):

A similar functionality in this tool would be awesome!

Hello,

wow, the API docs web site of Globalcollect S2S API is awesome :)
Swagger2Markup does support that already using Swagger tags.

See http://swagger2markup.github.io/spring-swagger2markup-demo/1.1.0/

and

Hi,

The problem is that swagger tags require people to modify their API spec. I don't think globalcollect wants to pay someone to go through their entire spec and add tags to all paths. (Trust me, it's a large file) This would also allow for easy adjustment of headers to test different configurations too.

Do they have a Swagger Spec?

Would you like to create a PR and contribute?
I won't have time to implement that feature.

[cascer1]

I'll have a look around the source code and try to cook something up :)

👍 Thx

@RobWin I've started working on this some more, could you have a look to see if I missed any methods required to make this work?

Also, are there any unit tests for sorting? If so, I couldn't find them.

[RobWin]

@cascer1 There are two unit tests for sorting.

The commits look good so far. Thx
