Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Screenshot of an API Reference

Installation

npm install @scalar/api-reference

Usage

<script setup>
import { ApiReference } from '@scalar/api-reference'
import '@scalar/api-reference/style.css'
</script>

<template>
  <ApiReference />
</template>

CDN

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Scalar API Reference</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta
      name="viewport"
      content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- Need a Custom Header? Check out this example: https://codepen.io/scalarorg/pen/VwOXqam -->
    <!-- Note: We’re using our public proxy to avoid CORS issues. You can remove the `data-proxy-url` attribute if you don’t need it. -->
    <script
      id="api-reference"
      data-url="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@scalar/galaxy/dist/latest.yaml"
      data-proxy-url="https://proxy.scalar.com"></script>

    <!-- Optional: You can set a full configuration object like this: -->
    <script>
      var configuration = {
        theme: 'purple',
      }

      document.getElementById('api-reference').dataset.configuration =
        JSON.stringify(configuration)
    </script>

    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@scalar/api-reference"></script>
  </body>
</html>

You can also use the following syntax to directly pass an OpenAPI specification:

<script
  id="api-reference"
  type="application/json">
  { … }
</script>

If you’d like to add a request proxy for the API client (to avoid CORS issues):

<script
  id="api-reference"
  type="application/json"
  data-proxy-url="https://proxy.scalar.com">
  { … }
</script>

Events [beta]

We have recently added two events to the standalone CDN build only.

scalar:reload-references

Reload the references, this will re-mount the app in case you have switched pages or the dom elements have been removed.

document.dispatchEvent(new Event('scalar:reload-references'))
scalar:update-references-config

If you have updated the config or spec, you can trigger this event with the new payload to update the app. It should update reactively so you do not need to trigger the reload event above after.

import { type ReferenceProps } from './types'

const ev = new CustomEvent('scalar:update-references-config', {
  detail: {
    configuration: {
      spec: {
        url: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@scalar/galaxy/dist/latest.yaml',
      },
    },
  } satisfies ReferenceProps,
})
document.dispatchEvent(ev)

Vue.js

The API Reference is built in Vue.js. If you’re working in Vue.js, too, you can directly use our Vue components. Install them via npm:

npm install @scalar/api-reference

And import the ApiReference component and style to your app:

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ApiReference } from '@scalar/api-reference'
import '@scalar/api-reference/style.css'
</script>

<template>
  <ApiReference
    :configuration="{
      spec: {
        url: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@scalar/galaxy/dist/latest.yaml',
      },
    }" />
</template>

You can pass props to customize the API reference.
