Migration guide from SpringFox

[Aloren]

I've noticed that a lot of existing users are migrating from springfox project to springdoc.
I suppose it would be awesome to have some short migration guide (something simple as this one for example: https://joel-costigliola.github.io/assertj/assertj-core-migrating-from-fest.html). I would like to contribute it if you don't mind. @springdoc What do you think?

Hi @Aloren,

Please feel free to contribute to documentation and any relevant pages:

FYI main used pages are:

• https://github.com/springdoc/springdoc.github.io/blob/master/src/docs/asciidoc/index.adoc
• https://github.com/springdoc/springdoc.github.io/blob/master/src/docs/asciidoc/faq.adoc

@springdoc Thanks for pointing to the documentation links. I haven't found these from the beginning :) as they are not referenced in https://github.com/springdoc/springdoc-openapi/blob/master/README.md. I just got that they are published to https://springdoc.github.io/, but I suppose it would be better to make a bold link to the https://springdoc.github.io/, so that it is obvious that detailed docs are available there (as it is done here: https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java/blob/master/README.md)

What do you think?

I agree that such a guide would be very good idea. I'm currently migrating about 30 microservices from springfox to springdoc.
As for now I've managed to:

• replace @ApiParam with @parameter
• migrate oauth configuration
• refactor @ApiResponses
• reuse Spring Pageable support - I've just found nice workaround @springdoc Great contribution! But we're still having issues with Pageable. #251

On this topic, I have a somewhat working bash script that doe migration for refactoring of annotations and imports. Let me know if this something that would useful to be part of the migration documentation. repo

Thank you @Aloren for this very useful documentation, which will certainly be enhanced with other contribution.

We create a tool (MobilizIT/springfox-tospringdoc) according to https://springdoc.org/migrating-from-springfox.html It is not complete yet but works for most cases
