export const Router = express.Router;

let options = {
  swaggerDefinition: {
    info: {
      description: 'This is a sample server',
      title: 'Swagger',
      version: '1.0.0',
    },

  formatterDescriptions: (description = '') => {
    // You can format or add process to descriptions
  }
};

let swaggerObject = null;
expressSwaggerGenerator(options)
  .then(swObj => {
    swaggerObject = swObj;
  });

const router = new Router();

router.use('/api-docs.json', function (req, res) {
