You can now get started with playing around in swagger. You basically add a new variable called spec which is your JSON document, and refer to it later when setting the window.swaggerUi as shown in the code snippet below.

To do this, you need to edit the dist/index.html file as described here with this example. You probably don't want to do this and want to just display the specification you have generated. Please note that the default code will simply display the petstore example and allow you to load a link to your JSON file. The following instruction will run the container so that people will view the documentation on the default port of 80 so that visitors will not have to enter a port number. Once that has finished building, you want to run the container you just generated. The following code will download the latest release from the releases page at the time of this writing, however you may need to check it and alter the wget and extraction lines accordingly. The easiest way to deploy swagger UI is through docker. Ihttpnstalling Swagger Editor sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy Swagger supports advanced features such as inheritance and composition, but it can be hard to find examples of these online, and they are not yet fully supported by the UI tool. This file can then be loaded by other developers with the UI in order to read about the API. The editor helps one to create the swagger configuration file that represents the API. There are two main parts, the Swagger Editor and the Swagger UI.

Swagger is an opensource project that aims to simplify the documentation of one's RESTful APIs.ĭocumenting one's API can be done in JSON or YAML and can lead to practicing true REST practices, such as returning error codes, and not just using GET/POST for all requests. This post is very old now and I would recommend using this instead.
