extends

Introduction

The extends configuration entry allows your project configuration to extend an existing configuration set. Multiple values are supported, and can include:

• the name of a built-in ruleset
• configuration defined in a custom plugin
• a path or URL to another redocly.yaml file

Extends is useful if you use a common ruleset across multiple projects. Define a ruleset in one location, and each project can extend it, with or without modification.

Options

The extends configuration is an array of strings.

The array is parsed in the order it is defined, so the later entries in the array overwrite the earlier ones.

Examples

To get started, try the following example to configure your project to be based on the minimal ruleset:

extends:
 - minimal
