How to open local files in Swagger-UI

February 6, 2023 by Tarik

I could not get Adam Taras’s answer to work (i.e. using the relative path ../my.json).

Here was my solution (pretty quick and painless if you have node installed):

With Node, globally install package http-server npm install -g http-server
Change directories to where my.json is located, and run the command http-server --cors (CORS has to be enabled for this to work)
Open swagger ui (i.e. dist/index.html)
Type http://localhost:8080/my.json in input field and click “Explore”
