# Summary
This PR drops the outdated former swagger.yaml/json and introduced
automatic API document generation from Go code.
The generated code is also used to generate documentation/markdown for
the community page,
as well as enable the Woodpecker server to serve a Swagger Web UI for
manual tinkering.
I did opt-in for gin-swagger, a middleware for the Gin framework, to
ease implementation and have a sophisticated output.
This middleware only produces Swagger v2 specs. AFAIK the newer OpenApi
3x tooling is not yet that mature,
so I guess that's fine for now.
## Implemenation notes
- former swagger.json files removed
- former // swagger godocs removed
- introduced new dependency gin-swagger, which uses godoc annotations on
top of Gin Handler functions.
- reworked Makefile to automatically generate Go code for the server
- introduce new dependency go-swagger, to generate Markdown for
documentation purposes
- add a Swagger Web UI, incl. capabilities for manual API exploration
- consider relative root paths in the implementation
- write documentation for all exposed API endpoints
- incl. API docs in the community website (auto-generated)
- provide developer documentation, for the Woodpecker authors
- no other existing logic/code was intentionally changed
