Configuring swagger

This project uses modular swagger configuration. Each feature has it's own swagger document. Follow these steps to add new feature:

1. In feature folder create feature.swagger.ts file.
2. Call setupSwaggerDocument and export the returned function.
3. Register feature module in feature.module.ts by calling the exported function from step 2.
4. Access your document at /docs/:featurePath.

For a concrete example see the auth feature.
