loadSpec() issues, asynchronous middleware registration

In some cases it may not ideal to have express-openapi-validator load and dereference the provided Open API spec on its own.

Would it be feasible for us to add support for a string or buffer argument in place of filePath in loadSpec() which skips the JSON scheme dereferencing and calls to fs?

Yes, it’s no longer necessary – Thank you so much for your help

Update: I took a look and found out why doing this synchronously would be challenging, and why you chose deasync. 😄It looks the json-schema-ref-parser dependency is strictly async.

One much better approach I found was to use await

await new OpenApiValidator({
  apiSpec: spec,
  validateRequests: true,
  validateResponses: false
}).install()

Instead of a non-awaited .installSync(). This allows my middlewares to bootstrap in the order I want.
