How can I get the html string from swagger-ui-dist?


I'm reading the docs on swagger-ui-dist and having a hard time getting a KISS setup going.

My goal is to get THE html string, the one that -- when served -- makes a swagger docs page. There should be some way to generate one with some special args for how it will display/etc.

The docs mention absolute paths, specify express (I'm on fastify), and don't show a simple string being generated anywhere.

I don't want to use any special tools or strange design patterns. I know how to cache a string, save it, and serve it. I'm just trying to generate that string in the first place.

How does one server-side generate THE HTML string that is Swagger Docs?


Solution

  • It turns out that swagger-ui-dist is not really meant for server-side rendering the way it implies. It just includes the files.

    swagger-ui-express has a function generateHTML(args) which almost worked, but is still required express to do what one would expect. I ended up cannibalizing it to create something that works in the way I was looking for:

    import { readFileSync } from "fs";
    import { join } from "path";
    import swaggerUi from "swagger-ui-dist";
    
    export interface JsonObject {
      [key: string]: any;
    }
    
    export type SwaggerOptions = {
      [key: string]: any;
    } & ({ swaggerUrl: string; } | { swaggerUrls: string[];})
    
    export type SwaggerUiOptions = {
      css?: string;
      cssUrl?: string;
      favIcon?: string;
      js?: string;
      siteTitle?: string;
      _htmlTplString?: string, 
      _jsTplString?: string,
      isExplorer?: boolean;
    } 
    
    export interface GenerateArgs {
      swaggerDoc?: JsonObject,
      ui?: SwaggerUiOptions,
      options: SwaggerOptions,
    }
    
    const FAV_ICON_HTML = '<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="./favicon-32x32.png" sizes="32x32" />' +
      '<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="./favicon-16x16.png" sizes="16x16" />'
