# Redoc deployment guide
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Redoc offers multiple options for rendering your OpenAPI definition.
|
|
|
|
You should select the option that best fits your needs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following options are supported:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **[Live demo](https://redocly.github.io/redoc/):**
|
|
|
|
The live demo offers a fast way to see how your OpenAPI will render with Redoc.
|
|
|
|
A version of the Swagger Petstore API is displayed by default. To test it with your own OpenAPI definition, enter the URL for your
|
|
|
|
definition and select **TRY IT**.
|
|
|
|
- **[HTML element](./html.md):**
|
|
|
|
Using the HTML element works well for typical website deployments.
|
|
|
|
- **[React component](./react.md):**
|
|
|
|
Using the React component is an option for users with a React-based application.
|
|
|
|
- **[Docker image](./docker.md):**
|
|
|
|
Using the Docker image works in a container-based deployment.
|
|
|
|
- **[CLI](./cli.md):**
|
|
|
|
Using the CLI is an option for users who prefer to use a command-line interface.

### OpenAPI definition
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
You will need an OpenAPI definition. For testing purposes, you can use one of the following sample OpenAPI definitions:
|
2021-11-24 17:47:24 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2021-11-23 08:07:56 +03:00
|
|
|
- OpenAPI 3.0

|
|
|
|
- [Swagger Petstore Sample OpenAPI Definition](https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json)
|

|
|
|
- OpenAPI 2.0

### Running Redoc locally
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to view your Redoc output locally, you can simulate an HTTP server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Using Redocly OpenAPI CLI
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Redocly OpenAPI CLI is an open source command-line tool that includes a command
|
|
|
|
for simulating an HTTP server to provide a preview of your OpenAPI definition locally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have [OpenAPI CLI](https://redoc.ly/docs/cli/#installation-and-usage) installed, `cd` into your
|
|
|
|
project directory and run the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
openapi preview-docs openapi.yaml
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
2021-11-23 20:46:45 +03:00
|
|
|
Replace `openapi.yaml` in the example command with the file path to your OpenAPI definition.
|
2021-11-23 08:07:56 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, without providing a port, the preview starts on port 8080, and can be accessed at `http://localhost:8080`.
|
|
|
|
To exit the preview, use `control+C`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can alter the port if you are using 8080 already, for example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
openapi preview-docs -p 8888 openapi.yaml
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
2021-11-23 20:46:45 +03:00
|
|
|
Replace `openapi.yaml` in the example command with the file path to your OpenAPI definition.
|
2021-11-23 08:07:56 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For more information about the `preview-docs` command, refer to
|
|
|
|
[OpenAPI CLI commands](https://redoc.ly/docs/cli/commands/preview-docs/#preview-docs) in the OpenAPI CLI documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Using Python
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/) installed, `cd` into your
|
|
|
|
project directory and run the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
|
|
python3 -m http.server
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have [Python 2](https://www.python.org/downloads/) installed, `cd` into your
|
|
|
|
project directory and run the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
|
|
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The output after entering the command provides the local URL where the preview can be accessed.
|
|
|
|
To exit the preview, use `control-C`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Using Node.js
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) installed, install `http-server`
|
|
|
|
using the following npm command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
npm install -g http-server
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, `cd` into your project directory and run the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```node
|
|
|
|
http-server
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The output after entering the command provides the local URL where the preview can be accessed.
|
|
|
|
To exit the preview, use `control-C`.
