Quick Reference

快速参考

Dependencies

go install github.com/swaggo/swag/cmd/swag@latest

— CLI doc generator

go get -u github.com/swaggo/gin-swagger

go get -u github.com/swaggo/files

Ensure
```
$(go env GOPATH)/bin
```
is in
```
$PATH
```

General API Annotations

Place before
```
main()
```
in
```
cmd/api/main.go
```
— one block per project

Set

@host

@BasePath

@schemes

, and

@securityDefinitions.apikey BearerAuth

Serving Swagger UI

Blank import
```
_ "myapp/docs"
```
is required — without it, spec is never registered
Gate behind
```
os.Getenv("GIN_MODE") != "release"
```
to hide from production

Access at

http://localhost:8080/swagger/index.html

Handler Annotations — Critical Rules

```
@Router
```
uses
```
{id}
```
(OpenAPI style), NOT
```
:id
```
(Gin style)

@Security BearerAuth

must match

@securityDefinitions.apikey

name exactly

Use named structs in

@Success

@Failure

— never

gin.H{}

map[string]interface{}

Always start with a Go doc comment (
```
// FuncName godoc
```
)

Key Struct Tags for swag

Tag	Purpose	Example
`example:"..."`	Sample value in Swagger UI	`example:"jane@example.com"`
`format:"..."`	OpenAPI format	`format:"uuid"` , `format:"email"` , `format:"date-time"`
`enums:"a,b"`	Allowed values	`enums:"admin,user"`
`swaggerignore:"true"`	Exclude field from docs	Hide `PasswordHash`
`swaggertype:"string"`	Override inferred type	For `time.Time` , `sql.NullInt64`
`minimum:` / `maximum:`	Numeric bounds	`minimum:"1" maximum:"100"`
`minLength:` / `maxLength:`	String length bounds	`minLength:"2" maxLength:"100"`
`default:"..."`	Default value	`default:"20"`

Generating Docs

swag fmt && swag init -g cmd/api/main.go

— format then generate

swag init -g cmd/api/main.go -d ./,./internal/handler,./internal/domain

swag init -g cmd/api/main.go --parseInternal

— for types in

internal/

Commit the generated
```
docs/
```
directory; re-run after every handler or model change

Common Gotchas

Gotcha	Fix
`swag` CLI not found	Add `$(go env GOPATH)/bin` to `$PATH`
Docs not updating	Re-run `swag init` — no watch mode
Blank import `_ "myapp/docs"` missing	Swagger UI shows empty
`@Router` uses `:id` instead of `{id}`	Use `{id}` in annotations
`@Security` name mismatch	Must match `@securityDefinitions.apikey` name exactly
`time.Time` rendered as object	Add `swaggertype:"string" format:"date-time"`
Type not found during parsing	Add `--parseInternal` or `--parseDependency`
`map[string]interface{}` in response	Replace with a named struct
`internal_` prefix on model names	Known bug — use `--useStructName`

依赖项

go install github.com/swaggo/swag/cmd/swag@latest

— CLI文档生成工具

go get -u github.com/swaggo/gin-swagger

go get -u github.com/swaggo/files

确保
```
$(go env GOPATH)/bin
```
已添加到
```
$PATH
```
环境变量中

通用API注解

放置在
```
cmd/api/main.go
```
的
```
main()
```
函数前 — 每个项目只需配置一次

设置

@host

、

@BasePath

、

@schemes

以及

@securityDefinitions.apikey BearerAuth

提供Swagger UI

必须导入空白标识符
```
_ "myapp/docs"
```
— 否则规范将不会被注册
通过
```
os.Getenv("GIN_MODE") != "release"
```
控制，避免在生产环境暴露

访问地址：

http://localhost:8080/swagger/index.html

处理器注解 — 核心规则

```
@Router
```
使用
```
{id}
```
（OpenAPI风格），而非
```
:id
```
（Gin风格）

@Security BearerAuth

必须与

@securityDefinitions.apikey

的名称完全匹配

在
```
@Success
```
/
```
@Failure
```
中使用命名结构体 — 禁止使用
```
gin.H{}
```
或
```
map[string]interface{}
```
必须以Go文档注释开头（
```
// FuncName godoc
```
）

swag核心结构体标签

标签	用途	示例
`example:"..."`	在Swagger UI中显示示例值	`example:"jane@example.com"`
`format:"..."`	OpenAPI格式	`format:"uuid"` , `format:"email"` , `format:"date-time"`
`enums:"a,b"`	允许的取值范围	`enums:"admin,user"`
`swaggerignore:"true"`	从文档中排除字段	隐藏 `PasswordHash`
`swaggertype:"string"`	覆盖自动推断的类型	适用于 `time.Time` 、 `sql.NullInt64`
`minimum:` / `maximum:`	数值范围限制	`minimum:"1" maximum:"100"`
`minLength:` / `maxLength:`	字符串长度限制	`minLength:"2" maxLength:"100"`
`default:"..."`	默认值	`default:"20"`

生成文档

swag fmt && swag init -g cmd/api/main.go

— 先格式化代码再生成文档

swag init -g cmd/api/main.go -d ./,./internal/handler,./internal/domain

swag init -g cmd/api/main.go --parseInternal

— 解析

internal/

目录下的类型

提交生成的
```
docs/
```
目录；每次修改处理器或模型后都需重新运行生成命令

常见问题与解决方法

问题	解决方法
`swag` CLI命令未找到	将 `$(go env GOPATH)/bin` 添加到 `$PATH`
文档未更新	重新运行 `swag init` — 该工具无监听模式
缺少空白导入 `_ "myapp/docs"`	Swagger UI将显示为空
`@Router` 使用 `:id` 而非 `{id}`	在注解中使用 `{id}`
`@Security` 名称不匹配	必须与 `@securityDefinitions.apikey` 的名称完全一致
`time.Time` 被渲染为对象	添加 `swaggertype:"string" format:"date-time"` 标签
解析时未找到类型	添加 `--parseInternal` 或 `--parseDependency` 参数
响应中使用 `map[string]interface{}`	替换为命名结构体
模型名称带有 `internal_` 前缀	已知问题 — 使用 `--useStructName` 参数

Quality Mindset

质量思维

Go beyond annotation syntax — for every endpoint, ask "does the doc match the actual behavior?" (response codes, required fields, auth requirements)
When stuck, apply Stop → Observe → Turn → Act: stop re-running
```
swag init
```
with the same flags, read the error word-for-word, check if the issue is a missing import, wrong path, or type in a different package
Verify with evidence, not claims — open Swagger UI, execute each endpoint via "Try it out," confirm request/response matches the spec. "I believe the docs are correct" is not "I tested it in Swagger UI"
Before saying "done," self-check: all error responses listed?
```
@Security
```
on protected routes? examples realistic?
```
swag fmt
```
ran? Am I personally satisfied?

不要局限于注解语法 — 对每个端点，都要问自己“文档是否与实际行为一致？”（响应码、必填字段、认证要求）
遇到问题时，遵循停止→观察→转向→行动：停止重复运行相同参数的
```
swag init
```
，逐字阅读错误信息，检查是否是缺少导入、路径错误或类型在其他包中
用证据验证，而非主观判断 — 打开Swagger UI，通过“Try it out”执行每个端点，确认请求/响应与规范一致。“我认为文档正确”不等于“我已在Swagger UI中测试过”
在宣布“完成”前，自我检查：是否列出了所有错误响应？受保护的路由是否添加了
```
@Security
```
？示例是否符合实际？是否运行了
```
swag fmt
```
？我自己是否满意？
