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.

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.
