This is the README for the 2.x version of Redoc (React-based). The README for the 1.x version is on the v1.x branch

About Redoc

Redoc is an open-source tool for generating OpenAPI(aka Swagger) definitions. By default Redoc offers a three-panel, responsive layout: the left panel contains a search bar and navigation menu, the central panel contains the documentation, and the right panel contains request and response examples.

ReDoc demo

Live demo

If you want to see how ReDoc will render your OpenAPI definition, you can try it out online at https://redocly.github.io/redoc/.

A version of the Swagger Petstore API is displayed by default. To test it with your own OpenAPI definition, enter the URL for your definition and select TRY IT.

Redoc vs. Redocly Reference docs

Redoc Community Edition is free open-source software (OSS). Redocly has developed extensive enhancements on top of Redoc Community Edition's open core, creating Redocly Reference Docs. See Comparison Redoc CE vs. Redocly Reference Docs for the main differences between the Redoc Community Edition and Redocly Reference Docs.

For step-by-step instructions for how to get started using Redoc to render your OpenAPI definition, refer to the Redoc quickstart guide.

See IE11 Support Notes for information on

ReDoc CLI

Configuration

Security Definition location

You can inject the Security Definitions widget into any place in your definition description. For more information, refer to Security definitions injection.

OpenAPI specification extensions

Redoc uses the following specification extensions:

  • x-logo - is used to specify API logo
  • x-traitTag - useful for handling out common things like Pagination, Rate-Limits, etc
  • x-codeSamples - specify operation code samples
  • x-examples - specify JSON example for requests
  • x-nullable - mark schema param as a nullable
  • x-displayName - specify human-friendly names for the menu categories
  • x-tagGroups - group tags by categories in the side menu
  • x-servers - ability to specify different servers for API (backported from OpenAPI 3.0)
  • x-ignoredHeaderParameters - ability to specify header parameter names to ignore
  • x-additionalPropertiesName - ability to supply a descriptive name for the additional property keys
  • x-summary - For Response object, use as the response button text, with description rendered under the button
  • x-extendedDiscriminator - In Schemas, uses this to solve name-clash issues with the standard discriminator
  • x-explicitMappingOnly - In Schemas, display a more descriptive property name in objects with additionalProperties when viewing the property list with an object

<redoc> options object

You can use all of the following options with the standalone version of the tag by kebab-casing them. For example, scrollYOffset becomes scroll-y-offset, and expandResponses becomes expand-responses.

  • disableSearch - disable search indexing and search box.
  • expandDefaultServerVariables - enable expanding default server variables, default false.
  • 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.
  • maxDisplayedEnumValues - display only specified number of enum values. hide rest values under spoiler.
  • hideDownloadButton - do not show "Download" spec button. THIS DOESN'T MAKE YOUR SPEC PRIVATE, it just hides the button.
  • hideHostname - if set, the protocol and hostname is not shown in the operation definition.
  • hideLoading - do not show loading animation. Useful for small docs.
  • hideSchemaPattern - if set, the pattern is not shown in the schema.
  • hideSingleRequestSampleTab - do not show the request sample tab for requests with only one sample.
  • expandSingleSchemaField - automatically expand single field in a schema
  • jsonSampleExpandLevel - set the default expand level for JSON payload samples (responses and request body). Special value "all" expands all levels. The default value is 2.
  • hideSchemaTitles - do not display schema title next to to the type
  • simpleOneOfTypeLabel - show only unique oneOf types in the label without titles
  • 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 for the example.
  • menuToggle - if true clicking second time on expanded menu item will collapse it, default true.
  • nativeScrollbars - use native scrollbar for sidemenu instead of perfect-scroll (scrolling performance optimization for big specs).
  • noAutoAuth - do not inject Authentication section automatically.
  • onlyRequiredInSamples - shows only required fields in request samples.
  • pathInMiddlePanel - show path link and HTTP verb in the middle panel instead of the right one.
  • requiredPropsFirst - show required properties first ordered in the same order as in required array.
  • 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).
  • showExtensions - show vendor extensions ("x-" fields). Extensions used by ReDoc are ignored. Can be boolean or an array of string with names of extensions to display.
  • sortPropsAlphabetically - sort properties alphabetically.
  • payloadSampleIdx - if set, payload sample will be inserted at this index or last. Indexes start from 0.
  • theme - ReDoc theme. For details check theme docs.
  • 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!
