This is README for 2.0
version of ReDoc (React based). README for 1.x
version is on the branch v1.x
Live demo (v1.x)
Features
- Extremely easy deployment
- redoc-cli 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
)
- OpenAPI 3.0 support
- Neat interactive documentation for nested objects
- Code samples support (via vendor extension)
- 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 - Simple integration with
create-react-app
(sample) - Branding/customizations via
theme
option
Roadmap
OpenAPI v3.0 supportperformance optimizationsbetter navigation (menu improvements + search)React rewritedocs 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.jslatest
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.

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 yarn:
yarn add redoc
or using npm:
npm install redoc --save
2. Reference redoc script in HTML
For CDN:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/redoc/bundles/redoc.standalone.js"> </script>
For npm:
<script src="node_modules/redoc/bundles/redoc.standalone.js"> </script>
3. Add <redoc>
element to your page
<redoc spec-url="url/to/your/spec"></redoc>
4. Enjoy 😄
Usage as a React component
Import RedocStandalone
component from 'redoc' module:
import { RedocStandalone } from 'redoc';
and use it somewhere in your component:
<RedocStandalone specUrl="url/to/your/spec"/>
or
<RedocStandalone spec={/* spec as an object */}/>
Also you can pass options:
<RedocStandalone
specUrl="http://rebilly.github.io/RebillyAPI/swagger.json"
options={{
nativeScrollbars: true,
theme: { colors: { main: '#dd5522' } },
}}
/>
Here are detailed options docs.
ReDoc CLI
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>
options object
You can use all of the following options 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 yetif 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.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 inrequired
array.noAutoAuth
- do not inject Authentication section automaticallypathInMiddlePanel
- show path link and HTTP verb in the middle panel instead of the right onehideLoading
- do not show loading animation. Useful for small docsnativeScrollbars
- 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
Advanced usage of standalone version
Instead of adding spec-url
attribute to the <redoc>
element you can initialize ReDoc via globally exposed Redoc
object:
Redoc.init(specOrSpecUrl, options, element)
specOrSpecUrl
is either JSON object with specification or an URL to the spec inJSON
orYAML
formatoptions
options objectelement
DOM element to put ReDoc into
Redoc.init('http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json', {
scrollYOffset: 50
}, document.getElementById('redoc-container'))
