OpenAPI/Swagger-generated API Reference Documentation
REACT-REWRITE: WORK IN PROGRESS
To try locally run:
yarn install
npm start
Live demo
Features
- Extremely easy deployment
- The widest OpenAPI v2.0 features support (yes, it supports even
discriminator
)
- Neat interactive documentation for nested objects
- Code samples support (via vendor extension)
- Progressive loading with
lazy-rendering
options
- 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
vendor extension - Multiple ReDoc instances on single page (example)
Roadmap
- OpenAPI v3.0 support
performance optimizationsbetter navigation (menu improvements + search)- ability to simple branding/styling
- built-in API Console
- docs pre-rendering (performance and SEO)
Releases
We host the latest and all the previous ReDoc releases on 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.jslatest
release: https://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/releases/latest/redoc.min.js this file is updated with each release of ReDoc and may introduce breaking changes. Not recommended to use in production. Use particular release orv1.x.x
.
Version Guidance
ReDoc Release | OpenAPI Specification |
---|---|
1.19.x | 2.0 |
1.18.x | 2.0 |
1.17.x | 2.0 |
Some Real-life usages
Deployment
TL;DR
<!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">
<!--
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://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/releases/latest/redoc.min.js"> </script>
</body>
</html>
That's all folks!
IMPORTANT NOTE: if you work with untrusted user spec, use untrusted-spec
option to prevent XSS security risks.
1. Install ReDoc (skip this step for CDN)
Install using bower:
bower install redoc
or using npm:
npm install redoc --save
2. Reference redoc script in HTML
For CDN:
<script src="https://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/releases/latest/redoc.min.js"> </script>
For bower:
<script src="bower_components/redoc/dist/redoc.min.js"> </script>
For npm:
<script src="node_modules/redoc/dist/redoc.min.js"> </script>
3. Add <redoc>
element to your page
<redoc spec-url="url/to/your/spec"></redoc>
4. Enjoy 😄
Configuration
Security Definition location
You can inject Security Definitions widget into any place of your specification description
. Check out details here.
Swagger vendor extensions
ReDoc makes use of the following vendor extensions:
x-logo
- is used to specify API logox-traitTag
- useful for handling out common things like Pagination, Rate-Limits, etcx-code-samples
- specify operation code samplesx-examples
- specify JSON example for requestsx-nullable
- mark schema param as a nullablex-displayName
- specify human-friendly names for the menu categoriesx-tagGroups
- group tags by categories in the side menux-servers
- ability to specify different servers for API (backported from OpenAPI 3.0)x-ignoredHeaderParameters
- ability to specify header parameter names to ignore
<redoc>
tag attributes
spec-url
- relative or absolute url to your spec file;untrusted-spec
- 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!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);
suppress-warnings
- if set, warnings are not rendered at the top of documentation (they still are logged to the console).lazy-rendering
- 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 for the example.hide-hostname
- if set, the protocol and hostname is not shown in the operation definition.expand-responses
- specify which responses to expand by default by response codes. Values should be passed as comma-separated list without spaces e.g.expand-responses="200,201"
. Special value"all"
expands all responses by default. Be careful: this option can slow-down documentation rendering time.required-props-first
- show required properties first ordered in the same order as inrequired
array.no-auto-auth
- do not inject Authentication section automaticallypath-in-middle-panel
- show path link and HTTP verb in the middle panel instead of the right onehide-loading
- do not show loading animation. Useful for small docsnative-scrollbars
- use native scrollbar for sidemenu instead of perfect-scroll (scrolling performance optimization for big specs)
Advanced usage
Instead of adding spec-url
attribute to the <redoc>
element you can initialize ReDoc via globally exposed Redoc
object:
Redoc.init(specOrSpecUrl, options)
specOrSpecUrl
is either JSON object with specification or an URL to the spec in JSON
or YAML
format.
options
is javascript object with camel-cased version of <redoc>
tag attribute names as the keys, e.g.:
Redoc.init('http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json', {
scrollYOffset: 50
})
Development
Running local dev-server
- Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/Rebilly/ReDoc.git
- Go to the project folder
cd ReDoc
- Install dependencies
npm install
- (optional) Replace
demo/swagger.yaml
with your own schema - Start the server
npm start
- Open
http://localhost:9000
Alternatively, Docker can be used by just running docker-compose up
.
