# mkdocs-render-swagger-plugin
This is the [Mkdocs](https://www.mkdocs.org) plugin for rendering swagger & openapi schemas using [Swagger UI](https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-ui/). It is written in Python.

## Usage
Install the plugin using `pip install mkdocs-render-swagger-plugin`.

Add the following lines to your mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
- render_swagger

## Example

Here's an [example](https://docs.scarf.sh/api-v2/) (courtesy of Scarf) of how the plugin renders swagger.

### Referencing a local json

Place an OpenAPI json file in the same folder as the `.md` file.

Enter `!!swagger FILENAME!!` at the appropriate location inside the markdown file.

If you wish to reference any files on the filesytem (security risk), make sure
you enable `allow_arbitrary_locations` in the config (mkdocs.yml) like so:

plugins:
- render_swagger:
allow_arbitrary_locations : true

### Referencing an external json

You may reference an external OpenAPI json using the following syntax: `!!swagger-http URL!!`.

## Explicit declaration of the Swagger JS library

You can explicitly specify the swagger-ui css and js dependencies if you wish to not use the unpkg CDN.

To specify this use `javascript` and `css` in your mkdocs.yaml:
```yaml
plugins:
- render_swagger:
javascript: assets/js/swagger-ui-bundle.js
css: assets/css/swagger-ui.css
```

## Contributing & Developing Locally

After downloading and extracting the `.tar.gz`, install this package locally using `pip` and the `--editable` flag:

```bash
pip install --editable ".[dev]"
```

You'll then have the `render-swagger` package available to use in Mkdocs and `pip` will point the dependency to this folder. You are then able to run the docs using `mkdocs serve`. Make sure you restart the process between code changes as the plugin is loaded on startup.

## MkDocs plugins and Swagger api

The Render Swagger MkDocs plugin uses a set of extensions and plugin APIs that MkDocs and Swagger UI supports.
You can find more info about MkDocs plugins and Swagger UI on the official website of [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/plugins/) and [SwaggerUI](https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui/blob/master/docs/customization/plugin-api.md).

The input OpenAPI files processed by the plugin should conform to the [OpenAPI specification](https://swagger.io/specification/). It is generated by a few projects such as [pydantic](https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/), [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/) and others.
