**This is README for `2.0` version of ReDoc (React based). README for `1.x` version is on the branch [v1.x](https://github.com/Rebilly/ReDoc/tree/v1.x)** ![ReDoc demo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Rebilly/ReDoc/master/demo/redoc-demo.png) ## [Live demo (v1.x)](http://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/) [Deploy to Github](https://github.com/Rebilly/generator-openapi-repo#generator-openapi-repo--) [ReDoc as a service](https://redoc.ly) [Customization services](https://redoc.ly/#services) ## Features - Extremely easy deployment - [redoc-cli](https://github.com/Rebilly/ReDoc/blob/master/cli/README.md) with ability to bundle your docs into **zero-dependency** HTML file - Server Side Rendering ready - The widest OpenAPI v2.0 features support (yes, it supports even `discriminator`)
![](docs/images/discriminator-demo.gif) - OpenAPI 3.0 support - Neat **interactive** documentation for nested objects
![](docs/images/nested-demo.gif) - Code samples support (via vendor extension)
![](docs/images/code-samples-demo.gif) - Responsive three-panel design with menu/scrolling synchronization - Integrate API Introduction into side menu - ReDoc takes advantage of markdown headings from OpenAPI description field. It pulls them into side menu and also supports deep linking. - High-level grouping in side-menu via [`x-tagGroups`](docs/redoc-vendor-extensions.md#x-tagGroups) vendor extension - Simple integration with `create-react-app` ([sample](https://github.com/APIs-guru/create-react-app-redoc)) - Branding/cusomizations via [`theme` option](#redoc-options-object) ## Roadmap - [x] ~~[OpenAPI v3.0 support](https://github.com/Rebilly/ReDoc/issues/312)~~ - [x] ~~performance optimizations~~ - [x] ~~better navigation (menu improvements + search)~~ - [x] ~~React rewrite~~ - [x] ~~docs pre-rendering (performance and SEO)~~ - [ ] ability to simple branding/styling - [ ] built-in API Console ## Releases **Important:** all the 2.x releases are deployed to npm and can be used via jsdeliver: - particular release, e.g. `v2.0.0-alpha.15`: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/redoc@2.0.0-alpha.17/bundles/redoc.standalone.js - `next` release: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/redoc@next/bundles/redoc.standalone.js Additionally, all the 1.x releases are hosted on our GitHub Pages-based **CDN**: - particular release, e.g. `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 - it will point to latest 1.x.x release since 2.x releases are not hosted on this CDN but on unpkg. ## Version Guidance | ReDoc Release | OpenAPI Specification | |:--------------|:----------------------| | 2.0.0-alpha.x | 3.0, 2.0 | | 1.19.x | 2.0 | | 1.18.x | 2.0 | | 1.17.x | 2.0 | ## Some Real-life usages - [Rebilly](https://rebilly.github.io/RebillyAPI) - [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.25/) - [Zuora](https://www.zuora.com/developer/api-reference/) - [Shopify Draft Orders](https://help.shopify.com/api/draft-orders) - [Discourse](http://docs.discourse.org) - [APIs.guru](https://apis.guru/api-doc/) ## Deployment ### TL;DR ```html ReDoc ``` That's all folks! **IMPORTANT NOTE:** if you work with untrusted user spec, use `untrusted-spec` [option](#redoc-tag-attributes) to prevent XSS security risks. ### 1. Install ReDoc (skip this step for CDN) Install using [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com): yarn add redoc or using [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/what-is-npm): npm install redoc --save ### 2. Reference redoc script in HTML For **CDN**: ```html ``` For npm: ```html ``` ### 3. Add `` element to your page ```html ``` ### 4. Enjoy :smile: ## Usage as a React component Import `RedocStandalone` component from 'redoc' module: ```js import { RedocStandalone } from 'redoc'; ``` and use it somewhere in your component: ```js ``` or ```js ``` Also you can pass options: ```js ``` Here are detailed [options docs](#redoc-options-object). ## ReDoc CLI [See here](https://github.com/Rebilly/ReDoc/blob/master/cli/README.md) ## Configuration ### Security Definition location You can inject Security Definitions widget into any place of your specification `description`. Check out details [here](docs/security-definitions-injection.md). ### 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 * [`x-examples`](docs/redoc-vendor-extensions.md#x-examples) - specify JSON example for requests * [`x-nullable`](docs/redoc-vendor-extensions.md#nullable) - mark schema param as a nullable * [`x-displayName`](docs/redoc-vendor-extensions.md#x-displayname) - specify human-friendly names for the menu categories * [`x-tagGroups`](docs/redoc-vendor-extensions.md#x-tagGroups) - group tags by categories in the side menu * [`x-servers`](docs/redoc-vendor-extensions.md#x-servers) - ability to specify different servers for API (backported from OpenAPI 3.0) * [`x-ignoredHeaderParameters`](docs/redoc-vendor-extensions.md#x-ignoredHeaderParameters) - ability to specify header parameter names to ignore ### `` options object You can use all of the following optins with standalone version on tag by kebab-casing them, e.g. `scrollYOffset` becomes `scroll-y-offset` and `expandResponses` becomes `expand-responses`. * `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!** * `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 will be used as offset; * **function**: A getter function. Must return a number representing the offset (in pixels); * `suppressWarnings` - if set, warnings are not rendered at the top of documentation (they still are logged to the console). * `lazyRendering` - _Not implemented yet_ ~~if set, enables lazy rendering mode in ReDoc. This mode is useful for APIs with big number of operations (e.g. > 50). In this mode ReDoc shows initial screen ASAP and then renders the rest operations asynchronously while showing progress bar on the top. Check out the [demo](\\rebilly.github.io/ReDoc) for the example.~~ * `hideHostname` - if set, the protocol and hostname is not shown in the operation definition. * `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. * `requiredPropsFirst` - show required properties first ordered in the same order as in `required` array. * `noAutoAuth` - do not inject Authentication section automatically * `pathInMiddlePanel` - show path link and HTTP verb in the middle panel instead of the right one * `hideLoading` - do not show loading animation. Useful for small docs * `nativeScrollbars` - use native scrollbar for sidemenu instead of perfect-scroll (scrolling performance optimization for big specs) * `hideDownloadButton` - do not show "Download" spec button. **THIS DOESN'T MAKE YOUR SPEC PRIVATE**, it just hides the button. * `theme` - ReDoc theme. Not documented yet. For details check source code: [theme.ts](https://github.com/Rebilly/ReDoc/blob/master/src/theme.ts) ## Advanced usage of standalone version Instead of adding `spec-url` attribute to the `` element you can initialize ReDoc via globally exposed `Redoc` object: ```js Redoc.init(specOrSpecUrl, options, element) ``` - `specOrSpecUrl` is either JSON object with specification or an URL to the spec in `JSON` or `YAML` format - `options` [options object](#redoc-options-object) - `element` DOM element to put ReDoc into ```js Redoc.init('http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json', { scrollYOffset: 50 }, document.getElementById('redoc-container')) ``` ----------- ## Development see [CONTRIBUTING.md](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md)
