Generate interactive API documentations from Swagger files. Try our Demo
npm install @scalar/api-reference<script setup>
import { ApiReference } from '@scalar/api-reference'
import '@scalar/api-reference/style.css'
</script>
<template>

<!-- Note: We’re using our public proxy to avoid CORS issues. You can remove the `data-proxy-url` attribute if you don’t need it. -->
<script
id="api-reference"
data-url="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@scalar/galaxy/dist/latest.yaml"
data-proxy-url="https://proxy.scalar.com"></script>
<!-- Optional: You can set a full configuration object like this: -->
<script>
var configuration = {
theme: 'purple',
}
document.getElementById('api-reference').dataset.configuration =
JSON.stringify(configuration)
</script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@scalar/api-reference"></script>
</body>
</html>You can also use the following syntax to directly pass an OpenAPI specification:
<script
id="api-reference"
type="application/json">
{ … }
</script>If you’d like to add a request proxy for the API client (to avoid CORS issues):
<script
id="api-reference"
type="application/json"
data-proxy-url="https://proxy.scalar.com">
{ … }
</script>We have recently added two events to the standalone CDN build only.
Reload the references, this will re-mount the app in case you have switched pages or the dom elements have been removed.
document.dispatchEvent(new Event('scalar:reload-references'))If you have updated the config or spec, you can trigger this event with the new payload to update the app. It should update reactively so you do not need to trigger the reload event above after.
import { type ReferenceProps } from './types'
const ev = new CustomEvent('scalar:update-references-config', {
detail: {
configuration: {
spec: {
url: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@scalar/galaxy/dist/latest.yaml',
},
},
} satisfies ReferenceProps,
})
document.dispatchEvent(ev)The API Reference is built in Vue.js. If you’re working in Vue.js, too, you can directly use our Vue components.
Install them via npm:
npm install @scalar/api-referenceAnd import the ApiReference component and style to your app:
<script setup lang="ts">
import { ApiReference } from '@scalar/api-reference'
import '@scalar/api-reference/style.css'
</script>
<template>
<ApiReference
:configuration="{
spec: {
url: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@scalar/galaxy/dist/latest.yaml',
},
}" />
</template>You can pass props to customize the API reference.
