mihaelamj/stitcher

Features

• Resolves external $ref references from local files and URLs
• Handles nested references across multiple folders (../core/schemas/)
• Supports JSON pointer syntax (#/components/schemas/User)
• Detects circular references
• Caches resolved files for performance
• Works on macOS, iOS, and Linux

Installation

Add to your Package.swift:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/mihaelamj/Stitcher.git", from: "1.0.0")
]

Then add Stitcher to your target dependencies:

.target(
    name: "YourTarget",
    dependencies: ["Stitcher"]
)

Usage

import Stitcher

let stitcher = Stitcher()

// From file path
let result = try await stitcher.stitch(from: "/path/to/openapi.yaml")

// From URL (local or remote)
let url = URL(string: "https://example.com/api/openapi.yaml")!
let result = try await stitcher.stitch(from: url)

// From string content (baseURL needed for relative $ref resolution)
let yaml = """
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: My API
  version: 1.0.0
components:
  schemas:
    User:
      $ref: ./schemas/user.yaml
paths: {}
"""
let baseURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/path/to/spec/directory/openapi.yaml")
let result = try await stitcher.stitch(content: yaml, baseURL: baseURL)

Example

Given this multi-file structure:

api/
├── openapi.yaml
├── schemas/
│   ├── user.yaml
│   └── error.yaml
└── paths/
    └── users.yaml

Where openapi.yaml contains:

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: My API
  version: 1.0.0
components:
  schemas:
    User:
      $ref: ./schemas/user.yaml
    Error:
      $ref: ./schemas/error.yaml
paths:
  /users:
    $ref: ./paths/users.yaml

Stitcher will resolve all $ref references and produce a single YAML document with all schemas and paths inlined.

Error Handling

do {
    let result = try await stitcher.stitch(from: path)
} catch StitcherError.circularReference(let ref) {
    print("Circular reference detected: \(ref)")
} catch StitcherError.fetchFailed(let url) {
    print("Failed to fetch: \(url)")
} catch StitcherError.parseError(let message) {
    print("Parse error: \(message)")
} catch StitcherError.refNotFound(let ref) {
    print("Reference not found: \(ref)")
}
