What it is

Redoc is an open-source tool that generates beautiful, interactive API reference documentation directly from OpenAPI/Swagger specifications. It renders OpenAPI 3.1, 3.0, and Swagger 2.0 definitions into a responsive three-panel layout (navigation, documentation, code examples) without requiring manual documentation maintenance. Monolithic single-package repository: src/components/ contains React components (Endpoint, Fields, Callbacks, ApiInfo), src/common-elements/ holds shared UI primitives (Dropdown, Tooltip, styled components), and webpack configs in demo/ build standalone bundles (bundles/redoc.lib.js, bundles/redoc.browser.lib.js, bundles/redoc.standalone.js) plus a CLI…

Start here

Open these first:

  • src/components/Redoc/Redoc.tsx — Main entry point component that orchestrates the entire ReDoc documentation renderer and integrates all major subsystems.
  • src/components/Schema/Schema.tsx — Core schema rendering engine that recursively processes OpenAPI/Swagger schema definitions and drives document structure.
  • src/components/Operation/Operation.tsx — Renders individual API operations (endpoints) with parameters, request/response samples, and execution flow.
  • src/common-elements/index.ts — Exports styled component primitives and layout utilities that form the visual foundation for all UI elements.
  • src/components/PayloadSamples/PayloadSamples.tsx — Manages request/response example rendering and media-type switching for payload documentation.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone and install: git clone https://github.com/Redocly/redoc.git && cd redoc && npm install. Start dev server: npm run start (webpack-serve on dev mode with hot reload, or npm run start:prod for production mode).

Daily commands:

Development: npm run start launches webpack-serve with hot reload at dev mode. Production: npm run start:prod for production server. Bundling: npm run bundle (cleans, builds lib, browser, and standalone bundles).…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Build output lives in bundles/ directory (require npm run bundle:clean before rebuilding to avoid stale artifacts). TypeScript strict mode may require skipLibCheck during development (ts-check script uses this…
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
