Tags are used in Redoc to group API endpoints into logical sets for navigation purposes. Use x-displayName to give your tag a better presentation in the navigation bar on the left.
Adjusting the display name is very useful where the tags are either too long to be readable in the left-hand bar, or where the tag isn't a human-readable string. Making the improved tag details part of the OpenAPI description means that the information can be used everywhere that the OpenAPI file is used.
Use the x-displayName extension in a Tag declaration.
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| x-displayName | string | The text to use when presenting this tag as a navigation item and section header. Default is to use the tag name. |
