Setting up a dev environment
Swagger UI includes a development server that provides hot module reloading and unminified stack traces, for easier development.
Prerequisites
- git, any version
- NPM >=6.12.x
Generally, we recommend the following guidelines from Node.js Releases to only use Active LTS or Maintenance LTS releases.
Current Node.js:
- Node.js 16.x
- NPM >=7.10.x
Current Node.js Active LTS:
- Node.js 14.x
- NPM >=6.12.x
Current Node.js Maintenance LTS:
- Node.js >=12.4
- NPM >= 6.12.x
Steps
git clone https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui.gitcd swagger-uinpm run dev- Wait a bit
- Open http://localhost:3200/
Using your own local api definition with local dev build
You can specify a local file in dev-helpers/index.html
by changing the url parameter. This local file MUST be
located in the dev-helpers directory or a subdirectory. As
a convenience and best practice, we recommend that you create a
subdirectory, dev-helpers/examples, which is already
specified in .gitignore.
replace
url: "https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json",
with
url: "./examples/your-local-api-definition.yaml",
Files in dev-helpers should NOT be committed to git. The
exception is if you are fixing something in index.html or
oauth2-redirect.html, or introducing a new support
file.
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!
