The build-docs
command builds Redoc into an HTML file that contains your API documentation. The standalone HTML file can be easily shared or hosted on a platform of your choice.
redocly build-docs <api> redocly build-docs <api> --output=custom.html redocly build-docs <api> --theme.openapi.disableSearch redocly build-docs <api> --template custom.hbs redocly build-docs <api> -t custom.hbs --templateOptions.metaDescription "Page meta description"Option Type Description api string Path to the API description filename or alias that you want to generate the build for. Refer to the API section for more details. --config string Path to the configuration file. Defaults to
redocly.yaml
in the local folder. --disableGoogleFont boolean Disable Google fonts. The default value is false
. --help boolean Show help. --lint-config string Specify the severity level for the configuration file. Possible values: warn
, error
, off
. Default value is warn
. --output, -o string Set the path and name of the output file. The default value is redoc-static.html
. --template, -t string Use custom Handlebars templates to render your OpenAPI description. --templateOptions string Add template options you want to pass to your custom Handlebars template. To add options, use dot notation. --theme.openapi string Customize your output with Redoc functionality options or Redoc theming options. --title string Set the page title. --version boolean Show version number.
The build-docs
command behaves differently depending on how you pass the API to it, and whether the configuration file exists.
redocly build-docs openapi.yaml
In this case, the build-docs
command builds the API description that was passed to the command. Even if a configuration file exists, the command does not check for APIs listed in it.
Instead of a full path, you can use an API name from the apis
object of your Redocly configuration file. For example, with a redocly.yaml
configuration file containing the following entry for games@v1
:
apis: games@v1: root: ./openapi/api-description.json
You can generate a build by including the API name with the command, as shown in the following example:
redocly build-docs games@v1
In this case, after resolving the path behind the games@v1
name, build-docs
generates a build of the api-description.json
file. For this approach, the Redocly configuration file is mandatory. Any additional configurations provided in the file are also used by the command.
By default, the CLI tool looks for the Redocly configuration file in the current working directory. Use the optional --config
argument to provide an alternative path to a configuration file.
redocly build-docs --config=./another/directory/config.yaml
The following command uses the optional --theme.openapi
argument to build docs with the search box hidden:
redocly build-docs openapi.yaml --theme.openapi.disableSearch
The following command builds docs using a custom Handlebars template and adds metadata to the meta tag in the head of the page using templateOptions
:
redocly build-docs ./openapi/api.yaml -t custom.hbs --templateOptions.metaDescription "Page meta description"
Sample custom Handlebars template:
<html> <head> <meta charset='utf8' /> <title>{{title}}</title> <!-- needed for adaptive design --> <meta description='{{{templateOptions.metaDescription}}}' /> <meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1' /> <style> body { padding: 0; margin: 0; } </style> {{{redocHead}}} {{#unless disableGoogleFont}}<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:300,400,700|Roboto:300,400,700' rel='stylesheet' />{{/unless}} </head> <body> {{{redocHTML}}} </body> </html>
