Question: Are there Plans to Upgrade to the Latest Swagger UI?

Firstly, thanks so much for your module. We use it a lot at our company and are very hapi with it (sorry for the terrible pun 😃) That said I have a question about the Swagger UI version.

Currently hapi-swagger serves Swagger UI v 2.2.4, but is there any plan/initiative to update this to version 3.x?

I’ve made a fork of your repo here @darahayes/hapi-swagger and I’ve managed to get the plugin happily serving version 3.x.

I’ve published my own version of it so myself and my colleagues can use it straight away but I would love to hear your thoughts as to how we could merge this back into the original hapi-swagger module.

Is this something you would be interested in?

Cheers.

Hi All, I am snowed under with work commitments at the moment and will be well into next year. So after keeping on top of hapi-swagger for 3/4 years things have slowed up.

Happy to have a look at new UI. Part of why I created this plugin was so that HAPI projects could sit side-by-side with .Net and Java projects using swagger. I think it’s important to add to upgrade for the same reason otherwise they will look dated.

I have a history in UX design and I am not sure I am happy with the new UI. I am thinking about an option to switch between version 2/3 of the UI. This has been difficult in the past as I have had to customise the SwaggerUI files to get everything to work. Looks like v3 maybe more flexible.

I am just doing a 12 PR update at the moment to get everything updated. Once v7.8.0. is released to NPM I will start on this.

In the long term handing this over community management my not bad thing. That is if anyone else is up for looking after it.

Seems work on the repo slowed down a bit with the last commit back in February 2017.

@glennjones hope you’re doing well! I believe hapi-swagger became a crucial part of the hapi ecosystem. Is it worth looking at community getting involved to get it back to speed?
