Configuration

How to configure

Swagger-UI accepts configuration parameters in four locations.

From lowest to highest precedence:

• The swagger-config.yaml in the project root directory, if it exists, is baked into the application
• configuration object passed as an argument to Swagger-UI (SwaggerUI({ ... }))
• configuration document fetched from a specified configUrl
• configuration items passed as key/value pairs in the URL query string

Parameters

Parameters with dots in their names are single strings used to organize subordinate parameters, and are not indicative of a nested structure.

For readability, parameters are grouped by category and sorted alphabetically.

Type notations are formatted like so:

• String="" means a String type with a default value of "".
• String=["a"*, "b", "c", "d"] means a String type that can be a, b, c, or d, with the * indicating that a is the default value.

Core

Parameter Name	Description
configUrl	String. URL to fetch external configuration document from.
dom_id	String, REQUIRED if domNode is not provided. The id of a dom element inside which SwaggerUi will put the user interface for swagger.
domNode	Element, REQUIRED if dom_id is not provided. The HTML DOM element inside which SwaggerUi will put the user interface for swagger. Overrides dom_id.
spec	Object={}. A JS object describing the OpenAPI Specification. When used, the url parameter will not be parsed. This is useful for testing manually-generated specifications without hosting them.
url	String. The url pointing to API definition (normally swagger.json or swagger.yaml). Will be ignored if urls or spec is used.
urls	String. An array of API definition objects ({url: "<url>", name: "<name>"}) used by Topbar plugin. When used and Topbar plugin is enabled, the url parameter will not be parsed. Names and URLs must be unique among all items in this array, since they’re used as identifiers.
urls.primaryName	String. When using urls, you can use this subparameter. If the value matches the name of a spec provided in urls, that spec will be displayed when Swagger-UI loads, instead of defaulting to the first spec in urls.

Plugin system

Read more about the plugin system in the Customization documentation.

Parameter Name	Description
layout	String="BaseLayout". The name of a component available via the plugin system to use as the top-level layout for Swagger-UI.
plugins	Array=[]. An array of plugin functions to use in Swagger-UI.
presets	Array=[SwaggerUI.presets.ApisPreset]. An array of presets to use in Swagger-UI. Usually, you’ll want to include ApisPreset if you use this option.

Display

Parameter Name	Description
deepLinking	Boolean=false. If set to true, enables deep linking for tags and operations. See the Deep Linking documentation for more information.
displayOperationId	Boolean=false. Controls the display of operationId in operations list. The default is false.
defaultModelsExpandDepth	Number=1. The default expansion depth for models (set to -1 completely hide the models).
defaultModelExpandDepth	Number=1. The default expansion depth for the model on the model-example section.
defaultModelRendering	String=["example"*, "model"]. Controls how the model is shown when the API is first rendered. (The user can always switch the rendering for a given model by clicking the ‘Model’ and ‘Example Value’ links.)
displayRequestDuration	Boolean=false. Controls the display of the request duration (in milliseconds) for Try-It-Out requests.
docExpansion	String=["list"*, "full", "none"]. Controls the default expansion setting for the operations and tags. It can be ‘list’ (expands only the tags), ‘full’ (expands the tags and operations) or ‘none’ (expands nothing).
filter	Boolean=false OR String. If set, enables filtering. The top bar will show an edit box that you can use to filter the tagged operations that are shown. Can be Boolean to enable or disable, or a string, in which case filtering will be enabled using that string as the filter expression. Filtering is case sensitive matching the filter expression anywhere inside the tag.
maxDisplayedTags	Number. If set, limits the number of tagged operations displayed to at most this many. The default is to show all operations.
operationsSorter	Function=(a => a). Apply a sort to the operation list of each API. It can be ‘alpha’ (sort by paths alphanumerically), ‘method’ (sort by HTTP method) or a function (see Array.prototype.sort() to know how sort function works). Default is the order returned by the server unchanged.
showExtensions	Boolean=false. Controls the display of vendor extension (x-) fields and values for Operations, Parameters, and Schema.
tagsSorter	Function=(a => a). Apply a sort to the tag list of each API. It can be ‘alpha’ (sort by paths alphanumerically) or a function (see Array.prototype.sort() to learn how to write a sort function). Two tag name strings are passed to the sorter for each pass. Default is the order determined by Swagger-UI.
onComplete	Function=NOOP. Provides a mechanism to be notified when Swagger-UI has finished rendering a newly provided definition.

Network

Parameter Name	Description
oauth2RedirectUrl	String. OAuth redirect URL.
requestInterceptor	Function=(a => a). MUST be a function. Function to intercept remote definition, Try-It-Out, and OAuth2 requests. Accepts one argument requestInterceptor(request) and must return the modified request, or a Promise that resolves to the modified request.
responseInterceptor	Function=(a => a). MUST be a function. Function to intercept remote definition, Try-It-Out, and OAuth2 responses. Accepts one argument responseInterceptor(response) and must return the modified response, or a Promise that resolves to the modified response.
showMutatedRequest	Boolean=true. If set to true, uses the mutated request returned from a requestInterceptor to produce the curl command in the UI, otherwise the request before the requestInterceptor was applied is used.
supportedSubmitMethods	Array=["get", "put", "post", "delete", "options", "head", "patch", "trace"]. List of HTTP methods that have the Try it out feature enabled. An empty array disables Try it out for all operations. This does not filter the operations from the display.
validatorUrl	String="https://online.swagger.io/validator" OR null. By default, Swagger-UI attempts to validate specs against swagger.io’s online validator. You can use this parameter to set a different validator URL, for example for locally deployed validators (Validator Badge). Setting it to null will disable validation.

Macros

Parameter Name	Description
modelPropertyMacro	Function. Function to set default values to each property in model. Accepts one argument modelPropertyMacro(property), property is immutable
parameterMacro	Function. Function to set default value to parameters. Accepts two arguments parameterMacro(operation, parameter). Operation and parameter are objects passed for context, both remain immutable

Instance methods

Method Name	Description
initOAuth	(configObj) => void. Provide Swagger-UI with information about your OAuth server - see the OAuth2 documentation for more information.
preauthorizeBasic	(authDefinitionKey, username, password) => action. Programmatically set values for a Basic authorization scheme.
preauthorizeApiKey	(authDefinitionKey, apiKeyValue) => action. Programmatically set values for an API key authorization scheme.
