Build your own Documented & Tested Healthcare API in 30 min
summary
Shows how to go from user story to a working healthcare API by using OpenAPI as the contract, generating human docs with redoc, spinning a dynamic mock server with OpenAPI Enforcer on Node/Express, then swapping in Postgres-backed controllers and validating responses with openapi-chi validators. Demonstrates that a usable mock plus examples supports fast user testing, the real controller replaces the mock with minimal changes, and automated tests pass against the OpenAPI spec.
