This fix is partially based on comment https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/30242#issuecomment-273517205 Currently, `docker network inspect` relies on `FindNetwork()` which does not take into consideration that multiple networks with the same name might exist. This fix propose to return `docker network inspect` in a similiar fashion like other commands: 1. Lookup full ID 2. Lookup full name 3. Lookup partial ID If multiple networks exist, an error will be returned. NOTE: this fix is not a complete fix for the issue raised in https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/30242#issuecomment-273517205 where SwarmKit is unable to update when multiple networks with the same name exit. To fix that issue requires multiple places when `FindNetwork()` is called. Because of the impact of changing `FindNetwork()`, this fix focus on the issue in `docker network inspect`. A separate PR will be created to address https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/30242#issuecomment-273517205 An integration test has been added.

Working on the Engine API
The Engine API is an HTTP API used by the command-line client to communicate with the daemon. It can also be used by third-party software to control the daemon.
It consists of various components in this repository:
api/swagger.yaml
A Swagger definition of the API.api/types/
Types shared by both the client and server, representing various objects, options, responses, etc. Most are written manually, but some are automatically generated from the Swagger definition. See #27919 for progress on this.cli/
The command-line client.client/
The Go client used by the command-line client. It can also be used by third-party Go programs.daemon/
The daemon, which serves the API.
## Swagger definition
The API is defined by the Swagger definition in api/swagger.yaml
. This definition can be used to:
- To automatically generate documentation.
- To automatically generate the Go server and client. (A work-in-progress.)
- Provide a machine readable version of the API for introspecting what it can do, automatically generating clients for other languages, etc.
Updating the API documentation
The API documentation is generated entirely from api/swagger.yaml
. If you make updates to the API, you'll need to edit this file to represent the change in the documentation.
The file is split into two main sections:
definitions
, which defines re-usable objects used in requests and responsespaths
, which defines the API endpoints (and some inline objects which don't need to be reusable)
To make an edit, first look for the endpoint you want to edit under paths
, then make the required edits. Endpoints may reference reusable objects with $ref
, which can be found in the definitions
section.
There is hopefully enough example material in the file for you to copy a similar pattern from elsewhere in the file (e.g. adding new fields or endpoints), but for the full reference, see the Swagger specification
swagger.yaml
is validated by hack/validate/swagger
to ensure it is a valid Swagger definition. This is useful for when you are making edits to ensure you are doing the right thing.
Viewing the API documentation
When you make edits to swagger.yaml
, you may want to check the generated API documentation to ensure it renders correctly.
Run make swagger-docs
and a preview will be running at http://localhost
. Some of the styling may be incorrect, but you'll be able to ensure that it is generating the correct documentation.
The production documentation is generated by vendoring swagger.yaml
into docker/docker.github.io.
