$ swag init
  1. Download echo-swagger by using:
$ go get -u github.com/swaggo/echo-swagger

And import following in your code:

import "github.com/swaggo/echo-swagger" // echo-swagger middleware

package main

import (
	"github.com/labstack/echo/v5"

// @license.name Apache 2.0
// @license.url http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html

// @host petstore.swagger.io
// @BasePath /v2
func main() {
	e := echo.New()

	e.GET("/swagger/*", echoSwagger.WrapHandler)

	e.Logger.Fatal(e.Start(":1323"))
}

OpenAPI Specification (OAS) 3.0

package main

import (
	"github.com/labstack/echo/v5"
	"github.com/swaggo/echo-swagger/v2"

	_ "github.com/swaggo/echo-swagger/v2/example/docs" // docs is generated by Swag CLI, you have to import it.

func main() {
	e := echo.New()

	e.GET("/swagger/*", echoSwagger.WrapHandlerV3)

	e.Logger.Fatal(e.Start(":1323"))
}
  1. Run it, and browser to http://localhost:1323/swagger/index.html, you can see Swagger 2.0 Api documents.

Note: If you are using Gzip middleware you should add the swagger endpoint to skipper

Example

e.Use(middleware.GzipWithConfig(middleware.GzipConfig{
		Skipper: func(c echo.Context) bool {
			if strings.Contains(c.Request().URL.Path, "swagger") {
				return true
			}
			return false
		},
	}))
