Swagger-ui: Altering default URL of API spec Swagger UI points to

[Qqwy]

The documentation mentions that you should 'change the default URL in the constructor' of Swagger UI to ensure other API specifications are filled in there.
As I'd like to present my APIspecification using Swagger UI on my website as the main source of the API's documentation, I wanted to alter this.

However, I am unable to find the snippet of constructor code anywhere inside the downloaded swagger-ui repository. Attempts to alter swagger-config.yaml or /src/core/index.js did not work, even when running npm build after this.

Is the documentation outdated, or am I missing something?

In any case, I think a reference to the proper file to edit the default URL would improve the documentation.

The constructor is in dist/index.html, it looks like this:

<script>
window.onload = function() {

  // Build a system
  const ui = SwaggerUIBundle({
    url: "http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json",
    ...

You can change the url here.

The doc you linked to is a bit outdated, use the repository README instead.

Wonderful! I don't know why, but I had the feeling that the dist folder was the location that the whole project compiled to (which is true), which would mean that these kinds of settings would be made outside of it and then compiled to those files (which is not, the index.html seems to be one of the files that is untouched).

Thank you for your very clear answer!

I changed that to my url but it is giving me a failed to load API definition.
