NodeJS add the authorization button to Swagger Documentation


I need to be able to add the following button to Swagger's UI interface so that the testers can add the "Bearer token" header and test the apis.

enter image description here

My swagger's option definition is:

module.exports = {
    definition: {
        openapi: "3.0.3",
        info: {
            title: "APIs",
            version: "1.0.0",
        },
        servers: [
            {
                url: `http://localhost:${process.env.PORT}`
            }
        ],
        securityDefinitions: {
            bearerAuth: {
                type: 'apiKey',
                name: 'Authorization',
                scheme: 'bearer',
                in: 'header',
            },
        }
    },
    apis: ["./routes/*.js", "app.js"],
};

and my endpoint is as follows:

/**
 * @swagger
 * /api/users/test:
 *  post:
 *      security: 
 *          - Bearer: []
 *      summary: test authorization
 *      tags: [User]
 *      description: use to test authorization JWT
 *      responses:
 *          '200':  
 *              description: success
 *          '500':
 *                  description: Internal server error
 */

router.post('/test', verifyJWT(), async (req, res) => {
    res.send('hi');
})

Solution

  • Are you using OAS v3? You have errors in your declarations, for example securityDefinitions is now called securitySchemes and it is inside components.

    Check https://swagger.io/docs/specification/authentication/

    When you fix your schema, then you add a security property to your path to protect it with a security schema so that you'll get the green Authorize button.

    components:
      securitySchemes:
    
        BearerAuth:
          type: http
          scheme: bearer
    
    paths:
       /api/users/test:
         post:
           security: 
             - BearerAuth: []
