Swagger documentation for Spring Pageable interface

Building on Vineet Bhatia's answer, you can wrap the solution up in a custom annotation for reusability:

@Target({ ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.ANNOTATION_TYPE, ElementType.TYPE })
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@ApiImplicitParams({
    @ApiImplicitParam(name = "page", dataType = "int", paramType = "query", value = "Results page you want to retrieve (0..N)"),
    @ApiImplicitParam(name = "size", dataType = "int", paramType = "query", value = "Number of records per page."),
    @ApiImplicitParam(name = "sort", allowMultiple = true, dataType = "string", paramType = "query", value = "Sorting criteria in the format: property(,asc|desc). "
            + "Default sort order is ascending. " + "Multiple sort criteria are supported.") })
@interface ApiPageable {
}

Which can then be used like so:

@ApiPageable
public Page<Data> getData(Pageable pageRequest) {

This is a known issue with Spring-Fox. See Issue #755. Based on zdila's comment 2 at this time alternative is to add @ApiImplicitParams which is not ideal but it does work.

@ApiImplicitParams({
    @ApiImplicitParam(name = "page", dataType = "integer", paramType = "query",
            value = "Results page you want to retrieve (0..N)"),
    @ApiImplicitParam(name = "size", dataType = "integer", paramType = "query",
            value = "Number of records per page."),
    @ApiImplicitParam(name = "sort", allowMultiple = true, dataType = "string", paramType = "query",
            value = "Sorting criteria in the format: property(,asc|desc). " +
                    "Default sort order is ascending. " +
                    "Multiple sort criteria are supported.")
})

Vineet Bhatia's answer with @ApiImplicitParams looks fine. But I faced with situation, when @ApiIgnor and @ApiParam(hidden = true) doesn't work and you can still observe the asembler and pageable params. I fixed this problem by adding next line

docket.ignoredParameterTypes(Pageable.class, PagedResourcesAssembler.class);

to the Docket bean in my SwaggerConfig.
