NestJS-Redox v2.x

This NestJS module enables to auto-generate beautiful API docs using Swagger and Redoc. It supports NestJS 11, ExpressJS and Fastify.

Features

• NestJS 11 support
• ExpressJS and Fastify support
• Multi-user auth basic support
• Option "standalone" for self hosted redoc bundles without requesting a CDN.
• Option to disable Google fonts

Using the "standalone" Option in combination with "disableGoogleFont" respects the user's privacy and allows to serve the API reference offline.

⭐️ If you like this package give it a star ;) ⭐️

Installation

npm install nestjs-redox

Standalone

By default NestJSRedox automatically loads the redoc bundle from a CDN. If you want to host it yourself, install redoc via npm install redoc and set standalone in RedoxOptions parameter to true. An additional fix replaces the redoc logo URL with a local saved image. See chapter "setup".

Setup

In your main.ts file, before calling app.listen() insert the module setup (Fastify example more below):

ExpressJS example

1import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
2import { DocumentBuilder, SwaggerModule } from '@nestjs/swagger';
3import { NestjsRedoxModule, NestJSRedoxOptions, RedocOptions } from 'nestjs-redox';
4import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';
5
6async function bootstrap() {
7  const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
8  // ...
9
10  const swaggerConfig = new DocumentBuilder()
11    .setTitle('NESTJS-REDOX API')
12    .setDescription('some description')
13    .setVersion('1.0.0')
14    .addBearerAuth()
15    .addSecurity('roles', {
16      type: 'http',
17      scheme: 'bearer',
18    })
19    .build();
20
21  const redocOptions: RedocOptions = {
22    requiredPropsFirst: true,
23    logo: {
24      url: 'https://redocly.github.io/redoc/petstore-logo.png',

42      },
43    },
44  };
45
46  const document = SwaggerModule.createDocument(app, swaggerConfig, {
47    ignoreGlobalPrefix: false,
48    operationIdFactory: (controllerKey, methodKey) => methodKey,
49  });
50
51  NestjsRedoxModule.setup('reference', app, document, redoxOptions, redocOptions);
52
53  // ...
54  await app.listen(port);
