Swap out Swagger UI for ReDoc

Last updated: Dec 20, 2022 1 minute read.

This short guide will show you how easy it is to swap out out the default https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-ui/ library for Portal Catalogue API documentation for another tool like ReDoc

Open up the default /opt/tyk-dashboard/portal/templates/swagger.html

  {{ define "swaggerPage" }}
  {{ template "header" .}}
  <link href='/portal-assets/css/swagger.min.css' media='screen' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>
  <!-- <link href='/portal-assets/css/swagger-ui.css' media='screen' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/> -->
  <body>
    {{ template "navigation" . }}
    <div>
      <div class="container" style="margin-top: 80px;">
        <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" style="position:absolute;width:0;height:0">
...
        </svg>
        <div id="swagger-ui"></div>
      </div>
    </div>
    {{ template "footer" .}}
    {{ template "scripts" .}}
    <script src="/portal-assets/js/vendors.min.js"> </script>
    <script src="/portal-assets/js/swagger.min.js"> </script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
...
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
{{ end }}

Replace the content of swagger.html with the following:

  {{ define "swaggerPage" }}
  {{ template "header" .}}
  <body>
    {{ template "navigation" . }}
    <div>
      <div class="container" style="margin-top: 80px;">
        <redoc spec-url="{{.SwaggerURL}}"></redoc>
      </div>
    </div>
    {{ template "footer" .}}
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/redoc@next/bundles/redoc.standalone.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>
{{ end }}
