## [Live demo](http://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/)
[<img alt="Deploy to Github" src="http://i.imgur.com/YZmaqk3.png" height="60px">](https://github.com/Rebilly/generator-openapi-repo#generator-openapi-repo--) [<img alt="ReDoc as a service" src="http://i.imgur.com/edqdCv6.png" height="60px">](https://redoc.ly) [<img alt="Customization services" src="http://i.imgur.com/c4sUF7M.png" height="60px">](https://redoc.ly/#services)
## Features
- Extremely easy deployment
- The widest OpenAPI v2.0 features support (yes, it supports even `discriminator`) <br>
![](docs/images/discriminator-demo.gif)
- Neat **interactive** documentation for nested objects <br>
![](docs/images/nested-demo.gif)
- Code samples support (via vendor extension) <br>
![](docs/images/code-samples-demo.gif)
- Progressive loading with `lazy-rendering` options <br>
![](docs/images/progressive-loading-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
- Multiple ReDoc instances on single page ([example](demo/examples/multiple-apis/index.html))
## 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 unpkg:
- particular release, e.g. `v2.0.0-alpha.15`: https://unpkg.com/redoc@2.0.0-alpha.15/bundles/redoc.standalone.js
- `next` release: https://unpkg.com/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 |

## Deployment
### TL;DR
```html
<!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">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:300,400,700|Roboto:300,400,700" rel="stylesheet">
<!--
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://unpkg.com/redoc@2.0.0-alpha.1/bundles/redoc.standalone.js"> </script>
</body>
</html>
```
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 [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/what-is-npm):
npm install redoc --save
### 2. Reference redoc script in HTML
For **CDN**:
```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/redoc@2.0.0-alpha.1/bundles/redoc.standalone.js"> </script>
```
For npm:
```html
<script src="node_modules/redoc/bundles/redoc.standalone.js"> </script>
```
### 3. Add `<redoc>` element to your page
```html
<redoc spec-url="url/to/your/spec"></redoc>
```
### 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
<RedocStandalone specUrl="url/to/your/spec"/>
```
or
```js
<RedocStandalone spec={/* spec as an object */}/>
```
Also you can pass options:
```js
<RedocStandalone
specUrl="http://rebilly.github.io/RebillyAPI/swagger.json"
options={{
nativeScrollbars: true,
theme: { colors: { main: '#dd5522' } },
}}
/>
```
Here are detailed [options docs](#redoc-options-object).
## ReDoc CLI
[See here](https://github.com/Rebilly/ReDoc/blob/react-rewrite/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
### `<redoc>` options object
You can use all of the following optins with standalone version on <redoc> 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)
* `theme` - ReDoc theme. Not documented yet. For details check source code: [theme.ts](https://github.com/Rebilly/ReDoc/blob/react-rewrite/src/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:
```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'))
```
