Release notes
Problem to solve
Formerly known as Swagger, OpenAPI is an initiative to standardize the way an API is documented. Today, Gitlab previews openapi file with the Swagger preview UI. Unfortunately details of the API are not well displayed in the current implementation of Swagger UI: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui/issues/4581.
Redoc also implemented a previewer of OpenAPI files in a better format: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui/issues/6364
As a developper, I would like to read API definition file (OpenAPI) rendered by redoc while browsing my GitLab repositories to easily understand others APIs.
Intended users
User experience goal
The user should be able to inspect API definitions directly in gitlab without having to clone each repository locally to render the openapi file with redoc.
Proposal
Being able to select the rendering backends for the openapi file.
