Question 1

How to set up Swagger Editor with webpack?

Accepted Answer

The README provides detailed webpack configurations for version 5, requiring polyfills for stream, http, and buffer modules, plus aliases for monaco-editor to avoid version conflicts, but it's complex and error-prone for beginners.

Question 2

Can I use Swagger Editor without installing Docker or emscripten?

Accepted Answer

No, prerequisites include either Docker or emscripten for certain builds, making it dependent on these tools for full functionality in development or specific deployments, which adds to setup complexity.

Question 3

Swagger Editor vs Stoplight Studio: which is better for team collaboration?

Accepted Answer

Swagger Editor is open-source and self-hostable, ideal for internal use with customization via plugins, but lacks built-in cloud collaboration features; Stoplight Studio offers more out-of-the-box team tools but is proprietary.

Question 4

How to enable semantic syntax highlighting in Swagger Editor?

Accepted Answer

Configure the EditorMonacoLanguageApiDOMPlugin with { useApiDOMSyntaxHighlighting: true } to switch from default regex-based highlighting to ApiDOM mode, which provides more advanced token analysis for better accuracy.

Question 5

Does Swagger Editor support editing multiple API specs at once?

Accepted Answer

No, it focuses on single specification files per editor instance; for multi-file editing, you'd need custom implementations or external tools, though preview plugins allow rendering different spec types separately.

Question 6

How to opt out of analytics in Swagger Editor?

Accepted Answer

Set scarfSettings.enabled to false in package.json or use the SCARF_ANALYTICS environment variable during installation, as detailed in the anonymized analytics section, to disable Scarf data collection.
