Swagger UI

Swagger UI is part of Swagger project.

Swagger UI is a dependency-free collection of HTML, Javascript, and CSS assets that dynamically generate beautiful documentation and sandbox from a Swagger-compliant API. Because Swagger UI has no dependencies, you can host it in any server environment, or on your local machine.

How to Use It

Build

1. Install CoffeeScript which will give you cake
2. Run cake dist
3. You should see the distribution under the dist folder. Open ./dist/index.html to launch Swagger UI in a browser

Use

Once you open the Swagger UI, it will load the Swagger Petstore service and show its APIs. You can enter your own server url and click explore to view the API.

Customize

You may choose to customize Swagger UI for your organization. Here is an overview of what the various directories contain

• dist: Contains a distribution which you can deploy on a server or load from your local machine.
• bin: Contains files used by swagger-ui for its build/test. These are not required by the distribution.
• lib: Contains javascript dependencies which swagger-ui depends on
• node_modules: Contains node modules which swagger-ui uses for its development.
• src - src/main/coffeescript: main code in CoffeeScript - src/main/templates: handlebars templates used to render swagger-ui - src/main/html: the html files, some images and css - src/main/javascript: some legacy javascript referenced by CofffeeScript code

Header Parameters

Because of Cross-Origin Resource Sharing restrictions, swagger-ui, by default, does not send header parameters. This can be enabled by setting the supportHeaderParams to false when creating SwaggerUI instance.
