Use fields to document API parameters and responses. There are two types of fields: parameter fields and response fields.
|
|
|
|
## Parameter field
|
|
|
|
The `<ParamField>` component is used to define parameters for your APIs or SDKs. Adding a `ParamField` automatically adds an [API Playground](/api-playground/overview).
|
|
|
|
<ParamField path="param" type="string" required>
|
|
An example of a parameter field
|
|
</ParamField>
|
|
|
|
```mdx
|
|
<ParamField path="param" type="string" required>
|
|
An example of a parameter field
|
|
</ParamField>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Properties
|
|
|
|
<ParamField body="query, path, body, or header" type="string">
|
|
Whether the parameter is a query, path, body, or header. Followed by the
|
|
parameter name.
|
|
</ParamField>
|
|
|
|
<ParamField body="type" type="string">
|
|
Expected type of the parameter's value.
|
|
|
|
Supports `number`, `string`, `boolean`, `object`.
|
|
|
|
Arrays can be defined using the `[]` suffix. For example `string[]`.
|
|
|
|
</ParamField>
|
|
|
|
<ParamField body="required" type="boolean">
|
|
Indicate whether the parameter is required.
|
|
</ParamField>
|
|
|
|
<ParamField body="deprecated" type="boolean">
|
|

|
|
</ParamField>
|
|
|
|
<ParamField body="default" type="any">
|
|

|
|
</ParamField>
|
|
|
|
<ParamField body="placeholder" type="string">
|
|
Placeholder text for the input in the playground.
|
|
</ParamField>
|
|
|
|
<ParamField body="children" type="string">
|
|
Description of the parameter (Markdown-enabled).
|
|
</ParamField>
|
|
|
|
## Response field
|
|
|
|
The `<ResponseField>` component defines the return values of an API.
|
|
|
|
<ResponseField name="response" type="string" required>
