Setting up a dev environment

Swagger UI includes a development server that provides hot module reloading and unminified stack traces, for easier development.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 6.0.0 or greater
• npm 3.0.0 or greater
• git, any version

Steps

1. git clone git@github.com:swagger-api/swagger-ui.git
2. cd swagger-ui
3. npm install
4. npm run dev
5. Wait a bit
6. Open http://localhost:3200/

Bonus points

• Swagger UI includes an ESLint rule definition. If you use a graphical editor, consider installing an ESLint plugin, which will point out syntax and style errors for you as you code.
  • The linter runs as part of the PR test sequence, so don’t think you can get away with not paying attention to it!
