Usage for NodeJS

Load

Loading a RAML file is as easy as follows:

  var raml = require('raml-parser');
 
  raml.loadFile('myAPI.raml').then( function(data) {
    console.log(data);
  }, function(error) {
    console.log('Error parsing: ' + error);
  });

You can alternatively load from a string containing the api definition:

  var raml = require('raml-parser');
 
  var definition = [
    '#%RAML 0.8',
    '---',
    'title: MyApi',
    'baseUri: http://myapi.com',
    '/Root:'
  ].join('\n');
 
  raml.load(definition).then( function(data) {
    console.log(data);
  }, function(error) {
    console.log('Error parsing: ' + error);
  });

The shape of the returned object is (unofficially) documented in this Typescript interface.

Abstract Syntax Tree

Generating an AST from a RAML file is as easy as follows:

  var raml = require('raml-parser');
 
  var myAPI;
  raml.composeFile('myAPI.raml').then( function(rootNode) {
    console.log('Root Node: ' + rootNode)
  }, function(error) {
    console.log('Error parsing: ' + error);
  });

you can also alternatively generate an AST from a string containing the api definition:

  var raml = require('raml-parser');
 
  var definition = [
    '#%RAML 0.8',
    '---',
    'title: MyApi',
    'baseUri: http://myapi.com',
    '/Root:'
  ].join('\n');
 
  raml.compose(definition).then( function(rootNode) {
    console.log('Root Node: ' + rootNode)
  }, function(error) {
    console.log('Error parsing: ' + error);
  });

Usage for In-Browser

Using the RAML parser from inside the browser requires the user to actually include the RAML javascript file in a script tag as follows:

<script src="raml-parser.min.js"></script>

from there on the usage is pretty much the same as NodeJS, the script defines a RAML.Parser object globally which can be used as follows:

RAML.Parser.loadFile('http://localhost:9001/myAPI.raml').then( function(data) {
  console.log(data)
}, function(error) {
  console.log('Error parsing: ' + error);
});

Notice that the in-browser version can fetch remote API definitions via XHR.
