## Deployment
#### tl;dr
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>ReDoc</title>
<!-- needed for adaptive design -->
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<!--
ReDoc uses font options from the parent element
So override default browser styles
-->
<style>
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #333;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<redoc spec-url='http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json'>
</redoc>
<script src="bower_components/redoc/dist/redoc.min.js"> </script>
</body>
</html>
```
#### 1. Install redoc
Install using [bower](bower.io):
bower install redoc
or using [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/what-is-npm):
npm install redoc --save
Alternatively, you can **reference redoc directly** from CDN:
- latest release: https://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/releases/latest/redoc.min.js
- particular release, e.g. v0.14.0: https://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/releases/v0.14.0/redoc.min.js
#### 2. Reference redoc script in HTML
Then reference [`redoc.min.js`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Rebilly/ReDoc/releases/dist/redoc.min.js) in your HTML page:
```html
<script src="bower_components/redoc/dist/redoc.min.js"> </script>
```
For npm:
```html
<script src="node_modules/redoc/dist/redoc.min.js"> </script>
```
#### 3. Add `<redoc>` element to your page
```html
<redoc spec-url="<url to your spec>"></redoc>
```
#### 4. Enjoy :smile:
## Configuration
#### Swagger vendor extensions
ReDoc makes use of the following [vendor extensions](http://swagger.io/specification/#vendorExtensions):
* [`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-code-samples`](docs/redoc-vendor-extensions.md#x-code-samples) - specify operation code samples
#### Options
* `spec-url` - relative or absolute url to your spec file
* `scroll-y-offset` - 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.
`scroll-y-offset` 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 will be used as offset.
* **function**: A getter function. Must return a number representing the offset (in pixels).
## Advanced usage
Instead of adding `spec-url` attribute to the `<redoc>` element you can initialize ReDoc via globally exposed `Redoc` object:
```js
Redoc.init(specUrl, options)
```
`options` is javascript object with camel-cased version of options names as the keys. For example:
```js
Redoc.init('http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json', {
scrollYOffset: 50
})
```
