Swagger UI allows you to deeply link into tags and operations within a spec. When Swagger UI is provided a URL fragment at runtime, it will automatically expand and scroll to a specified tag or operation.
👉🏼 Add deepLinking: true
to your Swagger UI configuration to enable this functionality. This is demonstrated in dist/index.html
.
When you expand a tag or operation, Swagger UI will automatically update its URL fragment with a deep link to the item. Conversely, when you collapse a tag or operation, Swagger UI will clear the URL fragment.
You can also right-click a tag name or operation path to copy a link to that tag or operation.
The fragment is formatted in one of two ways:
#/{tagName}
, to trigger the focus of a specific tag#/{tagName}/{operationId}
, to trigger the focus of a specific operation within a tag
operationId
is the explicit operationId provided in the spec, if one exists.
Otherwise, Swagger UI generates an implicit operationId by combining the operation's path and method, while escaping non-alphanumeric characters.
I'm using Swagger UI in an application that needs control of the URL fragment. How do I disable deep-linking?
This functionality is disabled by default, but you can pass deepLinking: false
into Swagger UI as a configuration item to be sure.
Can I link to multiple tags or operations?
No, this is not supported.
Can I collapse everything except the operation or tag I'm linking to?
Sure - use docExpansion: none
to collapse all tags and operations. Your deep link will take precedence over the setting, so only the tag or operation you've specified will be expanded.
