**Important:** all the 2.x releases are deployed to npm and can be used with Redocly-cdn:
|
||||
- particular release, for example, `v2.0.0`: https://cdn.redoc.ly/redoc/v2.0.0/bundles/redoc.standalone.js
|
||||
- `latest` release: https://cdn.redoc.ly/redoc/latest/bundles/redoc.standalone.js
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, all the 1.x releases are hosted on our GitHub Pages-based CDN **(deprecated)**:
|
||||
- particular release, for example `v1.2.0`: https://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/releases/v1.2.0/redoc.min.js
|
||||
- `v1.x.x` release: https://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/releases/v1.x.x/redoc.min.js
|
||||
- `latest` release: https://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/releases/latest/redoc.min.js - points to latest 1.x.x release since 2.x releases are not hosted on this CDN but on unpkg.
|
||||
Redoc is provided as a CLI tool (also distributed as a Docker image), HTML tag, and React component.
|
||||
|
||||
## Version Guidance
|
||||
| Redoc Release | OpenAPI Specification |
|
||||
|:--------------|:----------------------|
|
||||
| 2.0.0-alpha.54| 3.1, 3.0.x, 2.0 |
|
||||
| 2.0.0-alpha.x | 3.0, 2.0 |
|
||||
| 1.19.x | 2.0 |
|
||||

|
||||
| 1.17.x | 2.0 |
|
||||
### Generate documentation from the CLI
|
||||
|
||||
If you have Node installed, quickly generate documentation using `npx`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
npx @redocly/cli build-docs openapi.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The tool outputs by default to a file named `redoc-static.html` that you can open in your browser.
|
||||
|
||||
> [Redocly CLI](https://github.com/Redocly/redocly-cli/) does more than docs, check it out and add linting, bundling and more to your API workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
### Add an HTML element to the page
|
||||
|
||||
Create an HTML page, or edit an existing one, and add the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<redoc spec-url="http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"></redoc>
|
||||
<script src="https://cdn.redoc.ly/redoc/latest/bundles/redoc.standalone.js"> </script>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Open the HTML file in your browser, and your API documentation is shown on the page.
|
||||
|
||||
Add your own `spec-url` to the `<redoc>` tag, this attribute can also be a local file. The JavaScript library can also be installed locally using `npm` and served from your own server, see the [HTML deployment documentation](https://redocly.com/docs/redoc/deployment/html/) for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
### More usage options
|
||||
|
||||
Check out the [deployment documentation](./deploment/index/md) for more options, and detailed documentation for each.

## Lint OpenAPI definitions
|
||||
|
||||
Redocly CLI is an [open source command-line tool](https://github.com/Redocly/redocly-cli) that you can use to lint
|
||||
your OpenAPI definition. Linting helps you to catch errors and inconsistencies in your
|
||||
OpenAPI definition before publishing.
|
||||
|
||||
Learn more about [API standards and linting](https://redocly.com/docs/cli/api-standards/) in the main Redocly documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
### TL;DR final code example
|
||||
|
||||
To render your OpenAPI definition using Redoc, use the following HTML code sample and
|
||||
replace the `spec-url` attribute with the url or local file address to your definition.
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
||||
<html>
|
||||
<head>
|
||||
<title>Redoc</title>
|
||||
<!-- needed for adaptive design -->
|
||||
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
|
||||
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
|
||||
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:300,400,700|Roboto:300,400,700" rel="stylesheet">
|
||||
|
||||
<!--
|
||||
Redoc doesn't change outer page styles
|
||||
-->
|
||||
<style>
|
||||
body {
|
||||
margin: 0;
|
||||
padding: 0;
|
||||
}
|
||||
</style>
|
||||
</head>
|
||||
<body>
|
||||
<redoc spec-url='http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json'></redoc>
|
||||
<script src="https://cdn.redoc.ly/redoc/latest/bundles/redoc.standalone.js"> </script>
|
||||
</body>
|
||||
</html>
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For step-by-step instructions for how to get started using Redoc
|
||||
to render your OpenAPI definition, refer to the
|
||||
[**Redoc quickstart guide**](https://redocly.com/docs/redoc/quickstart/) and [**How to use the HTML element**](https://redocly.com/docs/redoc/deployment/html/).
|
||||
|
||||
_Pull requests to add your own API page to the list are welcome_
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Definition location
|
||||
You can inject the Security Definitions widget into any place in your definition `description`.
|
||||
For more information, refer to [Security definitions injection](docs/security-definitions-injection.md).
|
||||
Redoc is highly configurable, see the [configuration documentation](docs/config.md) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
### OpenAPI specification extensions
|
||||
Redoc uses the following [specification extensions](https://redocly.com/docs/api-reference-docs/spec-extensions/):
|
||||
|
||||
* [`x-logo`](docs/redoc-vendor-extensions.md#x-logo) - is used to specify API logo
|
||||
* [`x-traitTag`](docs/redoc-vendor-extensions.md#x-traitTag) - useful for handling out common things like Pagination, Rate-Limits, etc
|
||||
* [`x-codeSamples`](docs/redoc-vendor-extensions.md#x-codeSamples) - specify operation code samples
|
||||
|
|
@ -199,126 +129,21 @@ Redoc uses the following [specification extensions](https://redocly.com/docs/api
|
|||
* [`x-extendedDiscriminator`](docs/redoc-vendor-extensions.md#x-extendedDiscriminator) - In Schemas, uses this to solve name-clash issues with the standard discriminator
|
||||
* [`x-explicitMappingOnly`](docs/redoc-vendor-extensions.md#x-explicitMappingOnly) - In Schemas, display a more descriptive property name in objects with additionalProperties when viewing the property list with an object
|
||||
|
||||
### `<redoc>` options object
|
||||
You can use all of the following options with the standalone version of the <redoc> tag by kebab-casing them. For example, `scrollYOffset` becomes `scroll-y-offset`, and `expandResponses` becomes `expand-responses`.
|
||||
|
||||
* `disableSearch` - disable search indexing and search box.
|
||||
* `minCharacterLengthToInitSearch` - set minimal characters length to init search, default `3`, minimal `1`.
|
||||
* `expandDefaultServerVariables` - enable expanding default server variables, default `false`.
|
||||
* `expandResponses` - specify which responses to expand by default by response codes. Values should be passed as comma-separated list without spaces e.g. `expandResponses="200,201"`. Special value `"all"` expands all responses by default. Be careful: this option can slow-down documentation rendering time.
|
||||
* `generatedPayloadSamplesMaxDepth` - set the maximum render depth for JSON payload samples (responses and request body). The default value is `10`.
|
||||
* `maxDisplayedEnumValues` - display only specified number of enum values. hide rest values under spoiler.
|
||||
* `hideDownloadButton` - do not show "Download" spec button. **THIS DOESN'T MAKE YOUR SPEC PRIVATE**, it just hides the button.
|
||||
* `downloadFileName` - set a custom file name for the downloaded API definition file.
|
||||
* `downloadDefinitionUrl` - If the 'Download' button is visible in the API reference documentation (hideDownloadButton=false), the URL configured here opens when that button is selected. Provide it as an absolute URL with the full URI scheme.
|
||||
* `hideHostname` - if set, the protocol and hostname is not shown in the operation definition.
|
||||
* `hideLoading` - do not show loading animation. Useful for small docs.
|
||||
* `hideFab` - do not show FAB in mobile view. Useful for implementing a custom floating action button.
|
||||
* `hideSchemaPattern` - if set, the pattern is not shown in the schema.
|
||||
* `hideSingleRequestSampleTab` - do not show the request sample tab for requests with only one sample.
|
||||
* `showObjectSchemaExamples` - show object schema example in the properties, default `false`.
|
||||
* `expandSingleSchemaField` - automatically expand single field in a schema
|
||||
* `schemaExpansionLevel` - specifies whether to automatically expand schemas. Special value `"all"` expands all levels. The default value is `0`.
|
||||
* `jsonSampleExpandLevel` - set the default expand level for JSON payload samples (responses and request body). Special value `"all"` expands all levels. The default value is `2`.
|
||||
* `hideSchemaTitles` - do not display schema `title` next to to the type
|
||||
* `simpleOneOfTypeLabel` - show only unique oneOf types in the label without titles
|
||||
* `sortEnumValuesAlphabetically` - set to true, sorts all enum values in all schemas alphabetically
|
||||
* `sortOperationsAlphabetically` - set to true, sorts operations in the navigation sidebar and in the middle panel alphabetically
|
||||
* `sortTagsAlphabetically` - set to true, sorts tags in the navigation sidebar and in the middle panel alphabetically
|
||||
* `menuToggle` - if true, clicking second time on expanded menu item collapses it, default `true`.
|
||||
* `nativeScrollbars` - use native scrollbar for sidemenu instead of perfect-scroll (scrolling performance optimization for big specs).
|
||||
* `onlyRequiredInSamples` - shows only required fields in request samples.
|
||||
* `pathInMiddlePanel` - show path link and HTTP verb in the middle panel instead of the right one.
|
||||
* `requiredPropsFirst` - show required properties first ordered in the same order as in `required` array.
|
||||
* `scrollYOffset` - If set, specifies a vertical scroll-offset. This is often useful when there are fixed positioned elements at the top of the page, such as navbars, headers etc;
|
||||
`scrollYOffset` can be specified in various ways:
|
||||
* **number**: A fixed number of pixels to be used as offset.
|
||||
* **selector**: selector of the element to be used for specifying the offset. The distance from the top of the page to the element's bottom is used as offset.
|
||||
* **function**: A getter function. Must return a number representing the offset (in pixels).
|
||||
* `showExtensions` - show vendor extensions ("x-" fields). Extensions used by Redoc are ignored. Can be boolean or an array of `string` with names of extensions to display.
|
||||
* `sortPropsAlphabetically` - sort properties alphabetically.
|
||||
* `payloadSampleIdx` - if set, payload sample is inserted at this index or last. Indexes start from 0.
|
||||
* `theme` - Redoc theme. For details check [theme docs](#redoc-theme-object).
|
||||
* `untrustedSpec` - if set, the spec is considered untrusted and all HTML/markdown is sanitized to prevent XSS. **Disabled by default** for performance reasons. **Enable this option if you work with untrusted user data!**
|
||||
* `nonce` - if set, the provided value is injected in every injected HTML element in the `nonce` attribute. Useful when using CSP, see https://webpack.js.org/guides/csp/.
|
||||
* `sideNavStyle` - can be specified in various ways:
|
||||
* **summary-only**: displays a summary in the sidebar navigation item. (**default**)
|
||||
* **path-only**: displays a path in the sidebar navigation item.
|
||||
* **id-only**: displays the operation id with a fallback to the path in the sidebar navigation item.
|
||||
* `showWebhookVerb` - when set to `true`, shows the HTTP request method for webhooks in operations and in the sidebar.

## Releases
|
||||
|
||||
**The README for the `1.x` version is on the [v1.x](https://github.com/Redocly/redoc/tree/v1.x) branch.**
|
||||
|
||||
All the 2.x releases are deployed to npm and can be used with Redocly-cdn:
|
||||
- particular release, for example, `v2.0.0`: https://cdn.redoc.ly/redoc/v2.0.0/bundles/redoc.standalone.js
|
||||
- `latest` release: https://cdn.redoc.ly/redoc/latest/bundles/redoc.standalone.js
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, all the 1.x releases are hosted on our GitHub Pages-based CDN **(deprecated)**:
|
||||
- particular release, for example `v1.2.0`: https://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/releases/v1.2.0/redoc.min.js
|
||||
- `v1.x.x` release: https://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/releases/v1.x.x/redoc.min.js
|
||||
- `latest` release: https://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/releases/latest/redoc.min.js - points to latest 1.x.x release since 2.x releases are not hosted on this CDN but on unpkg.
