fastapi-scalar

This crate works as a bridge between fastapi and Scalar OpenAPI visualizer.

Fastapi-scalar provides simple mechanism to transform OpenAPI spec resource to a servable HTML file which can be served via predefined framework integration or used standalone and served manually.

You may find fullsize examples from fastapi's Github repository.

Crate Features

• actix-web Allows serving Scalar via actix-web. version >= 4
• rocket Allows serving Scalar via rocket. version >=0.5
• axum Allows serving Scalar via axum. version >=0.7

Install

Use Scalar only without any boiler plate implementation.

[dependencies]
fastapi-scalar = "0.2"

Enable actix-web integration with Scalar.

[dependencies]
fastapi-scalar = { version = "0.2", features = ["actix-web"] }

Using standalone

Fastapi-scalar can be used standalone as simply as creating a new Scalar instance and then serving it by what ever means available as text/html from http handler in your favourite web framework.

Scalar::to_html method can be used to convert the Scalar instance to a servable html file.

let scalar = Scalar::new(ApiDoc::openapi());

// Then somewhere in your application that handles http operation.
// Make sure you return correct content type `text/html`.
let scalar = move || async {
    scalar.to_html()
};

Customization

Scalar supports customization via [Scalar::custom_html] method which allows overriding the default HTML template with customized one.

See more about configuration options.

• Quick HTML configuration instructions
• Configuration options
• Themes

The HTML template must contain $spec variable which will be overridden during Scalar::to_html execution.

• $spec Will be the Spec that will be rendered via Scalar.

Overriding the HTML template with a custom one.

# use fastapi_redoc::Redoc;
# use fastapi::OpenApi;
# use serde_json::json;
# #[derive(OpenApi)]
# #[openapi()]
# struct ApiDoc;
#
let html = "...";
Redoc::new(ApiDoc::openapi()).custom_html(html);

Examples

Serve Scalar via actix-web framework.

use actix_web::App;
use fastapi_scalar::{Scalar, Servable};

App::new().service(Scalar::with_url("/scalar", ApiDoc::openapi()));

Serve Scalar via rocket framework.

use fastapi_scalar::{Scalar, Servable};

rocket::build()
    .mount(
        "/",
        Scalar::with_url("/scalar", ApiDoc::openapi()),
    );

Serve Scalar via axum framework.

use axum::Router;
use fastapi_scalar::{Scalar, Servable};

let app = Router::<S>::new()
    .merge(Scalar::with_url("/scalar", ApiDoc::openapi()));

Use Scalar to serve OpenAPI spec from url.

Scalar::new(
  "https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-petstore/blob/master/src/main/resources/openapi.yaml")

Use Scalar to serve custom OpenAPI spec using serde's json!() macro.

Scalar::new(json!({"openapi": "3.1.0"}));
