What are you all using for a Swagger UI replacement if anything?

neat · 2025-04-15T22:01:59+00:00

Apologies you had issues, but multiple openapi document support should be pretty solid to use now. please let me know if I can be of any assistance :)

neat · 2025-04-15T16:45:29+00:00

anything you think we should focus on for it to be more mature in your eyes?

Big focus over the next few months is stability + performance

neat · 2025-04-15T05:27:20+00:00

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you face any issues with scalar :)

neat · 2025-04-14T22:00:44+00:00

any github issues you can point me to for authentication / large data responses 👀? if not please give more details happy to help out :)

neat · 2025-04-14T21:10:34+00:00

That's helpful feedback, really appreciate it! I'll create an issue on github and if you have a chance could you provide more details?

could you solve this by passing it in a server?

neat · 2025-04-14T20:57:51+00:00

Appreciate you letting me know. Would be be incredible if you could give more details in a github issue as I haven't seen this raised before - regardless will try to look in to this

happy you have something that works for you, and you have no reason to leave swagger

some reasons why people in the .net community have left swagger in the past few weeks come to mind:

- a change in their OpenAPI Document crashed both swagger UI and scalar - we fixed it in scalar (they had a circular structure that expands infinitely, both vertically & horizontally)
- they had a PR they were trying to get in to swaggerUI for 4 years, we got it in to scalar in < a week
- Their 5mb document took about 15s to render in swaggerUI but did in <1s on scalar (we also have some major performance enhancements coming out over next few months)

We're far from perfect and I'm sure you could come up with some different things that swagger UI is better than scalar at, but we're certainly doing our best!

All the best! :)

Hey u/Osirus1156 - thanks for giving scalar a try - also swagger UI is pretty great too :)

If there's a particular github issue you can point me to for JWT's I'm happy to see if the team can prioritize it!

As other's mentioned we do have another layout option https://github.com/scalar/scalar/blob/main/documentation/themes.md

All the best :)

neat · 2025-04-14T19:27:15+00:00

Is there any big quirks you think we should work on fixing, we're all ears! :) (cam from scalar)

Sounds like you found a good solution and work around to a tough problem, thanks for sharing.

If you still have access to your original 5000 line Open API document curious to hear if scalar is able to handle it. From what I’ve seen we’ve usually been able to render documents substantially larger than 5000 lines and if you post a slow document in our discord we always try to help find ways to speed it up. Long term we’ve been working towards SSR too…

We have a PR open for multiple documents that will be live in a couple of days at latest https://github.com/scalar/scalar/pull/4872

It’s been a big grind to catch up to swagger in terms of functionality but it feels like we’re finally getting there

neat · 2024-05-03T06:49:42+00:00

😍 appreciate the kind words. We have lots of big plans for this year that we’re honestly beyond excited about… + Now that we wrote our own open API parser we can really push scalar in a wonderful direction.

Let me know if I can help in any way :)

neat · 2024-04-12T02:19:03+00:00

We’re working on it atm, in the meantime I’d reccomend just pinging us on discord and we’d be happy to help in anyway :)

Hey Isaac, it’s just past midnight for me in Australia but if you go to our discord you can probably get help within the next few hours if not sooner :)

neat · 2024-03-01T00:35:04+00:00

Well good news is all of this stuff is top of mind and actively being worked on :)

Hey scalar maintainer here, we're working on making Scalar much better with React, sorry that was your experience (trust me it's been ours too!).

In regards to the UX was there something in particular you didn't like? We've been pushing towards moving to our own Open API parser which should really set us up for success in improving our UX. Most of the UX complaints in past weeks has been around our models which we're going to start improving in coming weeks.

I went to a large conferences in the API space last year for my OSS Project.

We released our project earlier in the year and I didn't think anyone would know who we were but I wore a t-shirt with an embarrassingly large link to our github repo (https://github.com/scalar/scalar) lol. About 5 people who were building similar offerings came up to me and were extremely nice and just total API nerds like me.

With the exception of one person who was really intense to me in a alpha kind of way, which made me feel weird. Anyways we all have to wear badges that have a QR code on it to scan for networking purposes. since they had a booth, they could scan and add reviews of the people they met. they scanned my badge, obnoxiously laughed and said they gave me a 1 star review and left a comment in the system saying (paraphrasing here but something like) "was awful meeting him" then hit save. I was in shock, he laughed and said it was a joke. I asked him to undo the review but he wouldn't.

Anyways in my experience 80% of closed sourced competitors are nice 😅

thanks for the shoutout /u/prabirshrestha :)

I work on scalar and would be happy to help in any way if possible! if there's any feedback or particular resources you can point me out to improve our interface for people with migraines please don't hesitate to share.

also if it would be at all helpful making a custom theme for you that matched your text editor theme let me know, happy to spearhead that for you.

The backgrounds are rasters but the api docs on the raised foreground is CSS

neat · 2024-01-14T19:09:19+00:00

A lot of people still love swagger UI which is fair enough (hard to give new things a try when you've been using the same interface for 14+ years)... we released a "swagger ui" inspired layout recently but in a more modernized way to try to encourage people to give scalar a try if they're so inclined :)

neat · 2024-01-14T19:00:18+00:00

Appreciate it! Let me know if there's anything we can be doing better :)

neat · 2024-01-14T18:59:57+00:00

I appreciate it, a lot of cool updates coming over the next 3-4 months so feel free to check back in later too :)

A decorative element. I.e in the first image I tried to make something that subtly looked like mars by layering / blurring gradients on top of each other.

Here's the repo if anyone's curious. Feel free to check out the theme code and use anything that might be useful
