Plugin or other to modify response before display

[ALukonin]

• Swagger-UI version: 3.20.0/4
• Swagger/OpenAPI version: Swagger 2.0

I am trying to build a plugin or find a way to change the text displayed after the Try-it-out is executed.
I am trying to modify the text that is displayed in the Curl, Request URL, and Responses sections. I was trying to do this with the responseInterceptor, but it seems that the display is generated before the responseInterceptor is called, so any changes I made there do not reflect the printed data. I have looked at the plugin documentation but am having a hard time modifying it.

Can anyone help me do this or is there a different way of doing this?

Hi @ALukonin!

This isn't currently supported for responseInterceptors, only requests - because generally, in an API documentation tool, you want to show the end user exactly what the server is responding with.

I may be able to point you in the right direction or a custom solution - what are you trying to achieve?

@shockey Thanks for taking a look. The documentation targets a service that doesnt support browser or CORS, so I am trying to bypass it by using my own server to call the REST API. I want to display the api spec via swagger, but to try it out, I am trying to use my server as a proxy to send the request instead of the browser. I redirect the request to the host server, then the host server sends the request and returns the result.

Redirecting the request is working, so is the return, but the return shows the host server. I am trying to change the response to show the target server so that the user can see what the host server called, and how they should call that API.

This is exactly what I was attempting to do. I was able to use showMutedRequest:false to show the original request in the curl and request url, but have not found a solution for the response. Did you have any success?

@shockey there is also a use case when the response is a JSON that contains image URLs and we want to not only show that URL, but also preview the image. An alternative solution to this could be to make the URL a clickable link. What can you recommend to achieve this? Thanks in advance.
