# How to use the Redoc CLI
|
2021-08-25 04:44:27 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With Redoc's command-line interface you can bundle your OpenAPI definition and API documentation
|
|
|
|
|
(made with Redoc) into a zero-dependency HTML file and locally render your
|
|
|
|
|
OpenAPI definition with Redoc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 1 - Install Redoc CLI
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can install the `redoc-cli` package globally using one of the following package managers:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/about-npm)
|
|
|
|
|
- [yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/getting-started)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or you can install `redoc-cli` using [npx](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/npm-vs-npx-whats-the-difference/).

The CLI includes the following commands:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **`redoc-cli serve [spec]`:** Starts a local server with Redoc. You must include the required parameter, spec, which is
|
|

a reference to an OpenAPI definition. Options include:

|
To add nested options, use dot notation.

|
2021-08-25 04:44:27 +03:00
|
|
|
- `-t` or `--template`: Uses custom [Handlebars](https://handlebarsjs.com/) templates to render your OpenAPI definition.
|
|
|
|
|
- `--templateOptions`: Adds template options you want to pass to your
|
|
|
|
|
custom Handlebars template. To add options, use dot notation.
