Azure Spectral Ruleset

This repository contains a Spectral ruleset to check conformance to the Azure API Guidelines and the Azure OpenAPI Style Guidelines.

How to use

Install Spectral

npm install -g @stoplightio/spectral

Usage

You can specify the ruleset directly on the command line:

spectral lint -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/azure/azure-spectral-ruleset/main/spectral.yaml <api definition file>

Or you can create a Spectral configuration file (.spectral.yaml) that references the ruleset:

extends:
  - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/azure/azure-spectral-ruleset/main/spectral.yaml

Example

spectral lint -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/azure/azure-spectral-ruleset/main/spectral.yaml petstore.yaml

Using the Spectral VSCode extension

There is a Spectral VSCode extension that will run the Spectral linter on an open API definition file and show errors right within VSCode. You can use this ruleset with the Spectral VSCode extension.

1. Install the Spectral VSCode extension from the extensions tab in VSCode.
2. Create a Spectral configuration file (.spectral.yaml) in the root directory of your project as shown above.
3. Set spectral.rulesetFile to the name of this configuration file in your VSCode settings.

Now when you open an API definition in this project, it should highlight lines with errors. You can also get a full list of problems in the file by opening the "Problems panel" with "View / Problems". In the Problems panel you can filter to show or hide errors, warnings, or infos.
