# Convert OData to OpenAPI.NET [Preview]

[**Disclaimer:This library is in a preview state. Feedback and contribution is welcome!**]

## Introduction

The **Microsoft.OpenAPI.OData.Reader** library helps represent an OData service metadata as an OpenApi description. It converts [OData](http://www.odata.org) [CSDL](http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata-csdl-xml/v4.01/odata-csdl-xml-v4.01.html), the XML representation of the Entity Data Model (EDM) describing an OData service into [Open API](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification) based on [OpenAPI.NET](http://aka.ms/openapi) object model.

The conversion is based on the mapping doc from [OASIS OData OpenAPI v1.0](https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=61852&wg_abbrev=odata) and uses the following :

1. [Capabilities vocabulary annotation](https://github.com/oasis-tcs/odata-vocabularies/blob/master/vocabularies/Org.OData.Capabilities.V1.xml)
2. [Authorization vocabulary annotation](https://github.com/oasis-tcs/odata-vocabularies/blob/master/vocabularies/Org.OData.Authorization.V1.xml)
3. [Core vocabulary annotation](https://github.com/oasis-tcs/odata-vocabularies/blob/master/vocabularies/Org.OData.Core.V1.xml)
4. Navigation property path
5. Edm operation and operation import path

## Overview

The image below is generic overview of how this library can convert the EDM model to an [OpenAPI.NET document](https://github.com/Microsoft/OpenAPI.NET/blob/master/src/Microsoft.OpenApi/Models/OpenApiDocument.cs) object.

For more information on the CSDL and Entity Data model, please refer to [http://www.odata.org/documentation](http://www.odata.org/documentation).
For more information about the Open API object of model, please refer to [http://github.com/microsoft/OpenAPI.NET](http://github.com/microsoft/OpenAPI.NET)

## Sample code

The following sample code illustrates the use of the library

```csharp
public static void GenerateOpenApiDescription()
{
    IEdmModel model = GetEdmModel();
    OpenApiDocument document = model.ConvertToOpenApi();
    var outputJSON = document.SerializeAsJson(OpenApiSpecVersion.OpenApi3_0);
    var outputYAML = document.SerializeAsYaml(OpenApiSpecVersion.OpenApi3_0);
}

public static IEdmModel GetEdmModel()
{
    // load EDM model here...
}
```

Or with the convert settings:

```csharp
public static void GenerateOpenApiDescription()
{
    IEdmModel model = GetEdmModel();
    OpenApiConvertSettings settings = new OpenApiConvertSettings
    {
        // configuration
    };
    OpenApiDocument document = model.ConvertToOpenApi(settings);
    var outputJSON = document.SerializeAsJson(OpenApiSpecVersion.OpenApi3_0);
    var outputYAML = document.SerializeAsYaml(OpenApiSpecVersion.OpenApi3_0);
}

public static IEdmModel GetEdmModel()
{
    // load EDM model here...
}
```

The `GetEdmModel()` method can load a model in 3 ways:

1. Create the Edm model from scratch. For details refer [building a basic model](http://odata.github.io/odata.net/#02-01-build-basic-model)

2. Load the Edm model from CSDL file. The following shows a code sample that loads a model from a csdl file.

    ```csharp
    public static IEdmModel GetEdmModel()
    {
        string csdlFilePath = @"c:\csdl.xml";
        string csdl = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(csdlFilePath);
        IEdmModel model = CsdlReader.Parse(XElement.Parse(csdl).CreateReader());
        return model;
    }
    ```

3. Create the Edm model using Web API OData model builder. For details refer to the [web api model builder article](http://odata.github.io/WebApi/#02-01-model-builder-abstract)

## Nightly builds

The nightly build process will upload a Nuget package for OpenAPI.OData.reader to [OpenAPIOData MyGet gallery](https://www.myget.org/gallery/openapiodata).

To connect to OpenAPI.OData.reader feed, use [this](https://www.myget.org/F/openapiodata/api/v3/index.json) URL source.

## Nuget packages
