How to open local files in Swagger-UI

Question

I\'m trying to open my self generated swagger specification file my.json with swagger-ui on my local computer.

So I downloaded the latest tag v2.1.8-M1

Answer 1

I had that issue and here is much simpler solution:

• Make a dir (eg: swagger-ui) in your public dir (static path: no route is required) and copy dist from swagger-ui into that directory and open localhost/swagger-ui
• You will see swagger-ui with default petstore example

• Replace default petstore url in dist/index.html with your localhost/api-docs or to make it more generalized, replace with this:

  location.protocol+'//' + location.hostname+(location.port ? ':' + location.port: '') + "/api-docs";

• Hit again localhost/swagger-ui

Voila! You local swagger implementation is ready
