# `build-docs`
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
The `build-docs` command builds Redoc into an HTML file that contains your API documentation.
|
|
The standalone HTML file can be easily shared or hosted on a platform of your choice.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
redocly build-docs <api>
|
|
redocly build-docs <api> --output=custom.html
|
|
redocly build-docs <api> --theme.openapi.disableSearch
|
|
redocly build-docs <api> --template custom.hbs
|
|
redocly build-docs <api> -t custom.hbs --templateOptions.metaDescription "Page meta description"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
| --config | string | Path to the [configuration file](#use-an-alternative-configuration-file). Defaults to `redocly.yaml` in the local folder. |

|
|
| --theme.openapi | string | Customize your output with [Redoc functionality options](https://redocly.com/docs/api-reference-docs/configuration/functionality/) or [Redoc theming options](https://redocly.com/docs/api-reference-docs/configuration/theming/). |
|
|
| --title | string | Set the page title. |
|
|
| --version | boolean | Show version number. |
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
### Specify API
|
|
|
|
The `build-docs` command behaves differently depending on how you pass the API to it, and whether the [configuration file](#use-an-alternative-configuration-file) exists.
|
|
|
|
#### Pass an API directly
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
redocly build-docs openapi.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this case, the `build-docs` command builds the API description that was passed to the command.
|
|
Even if a configuration file exists, the command does not check for APIs listed in it.
|
|
|
|
#### Pass an API alias
|
|
|
|
Instead of a full path, you can use an API name from the `apis` object of your Redocly configuration file.
|
|
For example, with a `redocly.yaml` configuration file containing the following entry for `games@v1`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml Configuration file
|
|
apis:
|
|
games@v1:
|
|
root: ./openapi/api-description.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can generate a build by including the API name with the command, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
```bash Command
|
|
redocly build-docs games@v1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this case, after resolving the path behind the `games@v1` name, `build-docs` generates a build of the `api-description.json` file. For this approach, the Redocly configuration file is mandatory.
|
|
Any additional configurations provided in the file are also used by the command.
|
|
|
|
### Use an alternative configuration file
|
|
|
|
By default, the CLI tool looks for the [Redocly configuration file](../configuration/index.md) in the current working directory. Use the optional `--config` argument to provide an alternative path to a configuration file.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
redocly build-docs --config=./another/directory/config.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Hide search
|
|
|
|
The following command uses the optional `--theme.openapi` argument to build docs with the search box hidden:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
redocly build-docs openapi.yaml --theme.openapi.disableSearch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Use a custom template
|
|
|
|
The following command builds docs using a custom Handlebars template and adds metadata to the meta tag in the head of the page using `templateOptions`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
redocly build-docs ./openapi/api.yaml -t custom.hbs --templateOptions.metaDescription "Page meta description"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Sample custom Handlebars template:
|
|
|
|
```handlebars
|
|
<html>
|
|
<head>
|
|
<meta charset='utf8' />
|
|
<title>{{title}}</title>
|
|
<!-- needed for adaptive design -->
|
|
<meta description='{{{templateOptions.metaDescription}}}' />
|
|
<meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1' />
|
|
<style>
|
|
body { padding: 0; margin: 0; }
|
|
</style>
|
|
{{{redocHead}}}
|
|
{{#unless disableGoogleFont}}<link
|
|
href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:300,400,700|Roboto:300,400,700'
|
|
rel='stylesheet'
|
|
/>{{/unless}}
|
|
</head>
|
|
<body>
|
|
{{{redocHTML}}}
|
|
</body>
|
|
</html>
|
|
```
