🔧 Example Usage

Authentication Flow

# Register a new user
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/auth/register" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "user@example.com", "username": "testuser", "password": "secure123"}'

# Login to get JWT token  
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/auth/login" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"username": "testuser", "password": "secure123"}'

# Use token for protected endpoints
curl -X GET "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/users/me" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>"

Activity Management

# Create an educational activity
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/activities/" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "title": "Sustainable Farming Basics",
    "category": "agriculture", 
    "difficulty_level": "beginner",
    "duration_minutes": 120,
    "is_published": true
  }'

🧪 Testing

The implementation includes a comprehensive test script (test_openapi.py) that validates:

• ✅ Module imports and structure
• ✅ OpenAPI configuration validity
• ✅ Pydantic model functionality
• ✅ Endpoint documentation completeness

🔄 Migration Notes

This is a non-breaking change that enhances existing functionality:

• All existing endpoints continue to work unchanged
• New documentation is automatically available
• No database migrations required
• Backward compatibility maintained

📖 Documentation

Complete usage documentation is available in /apps/backend/OPENAPI_DOCUMENTATION.md, including:

• Setup and configuration instructions
• API usage examples
• Troubleshooting guide
• Future enhancement possibilities

The enhanced API documentation transforms the LaVidaLuca backend into a professional, maintainable, and developer-friendly service ready for production use and client integration.

The fallback lambda function should be defined as a proper function for better maintainability and error handling. Consider defining a fallback function that returns an empty dict with proper typing.

Suggested change

	configure_swagger_ui = lambda: {}
	def configure_swagger_ui() -> dict:
	"""Fallback function for Swagger UI configuration. Returns an empty dictionary."""
	return {}

[Copilot]

Using 'locals()' for conditional execution is fragile and unclear. Consider restructuring this to use a try-except block or proper import handling to make the logic more readable and maintainable.

Suggested change

	swagger_config = configure_swagger_ui() if 'configure_swagger_ui' in locals() else {}
	swagger_config = configure_swagger_ui()

Python boolean values should be capitalized. Use 'True' instead of 'true' in the JSON schema example.
