Usage

App

You can mount the full-blown API Client to your DOM like this:

<!-- index.html -->
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta
      name="viewport"
      content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Scalar API Client App</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div
      id="scalar-client"
      class="scalar-app scalar-client"></div>
    <script
      type="module"
      src="./main.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>
// main.js
import { createApiClientApp } from '@/App'

// Initialize
await createApiClientApp(document.getElementById('scalar-client'), {
  spec: {
    url: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@scalar/galaxy/dist/latest.json',
  },
  proxyUrl: 'https://proxy.scalar.com',
})

Modal

Or you can mount a more compact version, which is living in a modal:

// main.js
import { createApiClientApp } from '@/App'

// Initialize
const { open } = await createApiClientApp(
  document.getElementById('scalar-client'),
  {
    spec: {
      url: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@scalar/galaxy/dist/latest.json',
    },
    proxyUrl: 'https://proxy.scalar.com',
  },
)

// Open the API client right-away
open()

// Or: Open a specific operation
// open({
//   method: 'GET',
//   path: '/me',
// })
