You can use this component to allow users to test your API anywhere in your documentation.
This component is only available in MDX files and you can use it directly
without any imports:
Code
< OpenPlaygroundButton { ... props} />
Hot tip The Playground can point to any API endpoint, even if it's not in the API catalog.
Props
Code
type PlaygroundProps = {
server : string ;
url : string ;
method : string ;
headers ?: Header [];
pathParams ?: PathParam [];
queryParams ?: QueryParam [];
body ?: string ;
};
Examples
Zuplo Echo
In this example, we're using the Zuplo Echo API to test the POST /hello-world/{name}
endpoint.
Open in Playground
Code
< OpenPlaygroundButton
server = "https://echo.zuplo.io/"
url = "/hello-world/{name}"
headers = {[
{
name: "X-Zudoku-Playground" ,
defaultValue: "Hello World" ,
},
]}
pathParams = {[{ name: "name" , defaultValue: "John" }]}
queryParams = {[
{ name: "age" , defaultValue: "30" },
{ name: "city" , defaultValue: "New York" },
]}
body = { JSON . stringify ({ message: "Hello World" })}
method = "POST"
/>
JSON Placeholder
In this example, we're using the JSON Placeholder API to test the GET /photos
endpoint. We can
also change the Text on the button to something more specific to the API.
Test Photos Endpoint
Code
< OpenPlaygroundButton server = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com" url = "/photos" method = "GET" >
Test Photos Endpoint
</ OpenPlaygroundButton >
