Among other activities, I design and implement RESTful APIs. I use the VSCode, the Swagger Editor, the Swagger UI and the Swagger Codegen, or a combination, as needed. I also use Docker for containerisation as much as possible because I dislike burdening my host machine with all manner of software and the resulting need to manage versions, version conflicts, etc..
The document referred to in this post addresses the topic of creating and using an openapi-based API development and testing environment which uses complimentary Swagger Editor and Swagger Codegen Docker Containers.
Commands shown in the document pull the required Docker Images from the docker hub and create containers that use them.
Once the environment is up and running, API development and testing can be undertaken as required, and containers stopped and remove once the task is over. See https://github.com/mwczapski/Swagger_Development_Workflow for package artefacts.
