What it is and what it does
flask-openapi3-rapidoc is a plugin that integrates RapiDoc, an interactive OpenAPI documentation UI, into Flask applications built with flask-openapi3. It provides an alternative to other OpenAPI UI options (Swagger, Redoc, etc.) for visualizing and testing API endpoints.
The package is a thin wrapper that makes RapiDoc available as an optional UI template for flask-openapi3 projects. After installation, developers can use RapiDoc to explore their API schema, view endpoint details, and send test requests directly from the browser. It requires only flask-openapi3 as a runtime dependency and installs as a pure Python wheel with minimal friction.
Use it for
- Display interactive API documentation alongside your Flask API without writing custom UI code.
- Allow API consumers to test endpoints and view request/response schemas through RapiDoc's interface.
- Provide an alternative OpenAPI UI when Swagger or Redoc does not meet your design or feature preferences.
- Bundle multiple UI options (Swagger, Redoc, RapiDoc) and let users choose their preferred documentation viewer.
