Full codebase & folder structure can be seen in GitHub

Here is the Swagger related route (had to make it a standalone server)

// api/v1.ts

import express = require("express");
import swaggerJSDoc = require("swagger-jsdoc");
import swaggerUi = require("swagger-ui-express");
import packageJSON = require("../package.json");
import path = require("path");

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.static(path.resolve(__dirname, "../", "public")));

const swaggerSpec = swaggerJSDoc({
  swaggerDefinition: some_spec,
  apis: ["api/*"]
});

const cssOpts = some_css_override;

app.use("/api/v1", swaggerUi.serve, swaggerUi.setup(swaggerSpec, cssOpts));

module.exports = app;

Problem

When I run vercel dev (locally- localhost:3000/api/v1), I see documentation as expected: Local (vercel dev)

However when I push my code to a branch which triggers a vercel build, I see the following: Vercel Build

Checking the console, I see:

DevTools failed to load source map: Could not parse content for https://colormaster-1unjfn63b-lbragile.vercel.app/api/v1/swagger-ui-bundle.js.map: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 1

DevTools failed to load source map: Could not parse content for https://colormaster-1unjfn63b-lbragile.vercel.app/api/v1/swagger-ui-standalone-preset.js.map: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 1

Even though they respond with 200 Network Responses

I understand that this has something to do with JSON.parse() of HTML content, but not sure how to fix this. Any ideas?

I am facing the exact same problem of you, trying without success to deploy Swagger to Vercel with Express.

I did one step more, and now I'm seen an error in my console:

Refused to apply style from 'https://myurlishere.vercel.app/api-docs/swagger-ui.css' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled.

What I did was, adding a file routes.ts

import { Router } from 'express';
import LanguageController from './controller/LanguageController';
import WordController from './controller/WordController';

const routes = Router();

routes.get("/word", WordController.find);
routes.get("/word/:wordName/language/:languageId", WordController.findByWordAndLanguage);
routes.post("/word", WordController.create);
routes.get("/language", LanguageController.find);

export default routes;

And my server.ts looks like that:

import mongoose from 'mongoose';
import routes from './routes';

const express = require("express");

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
    require('dotenv').config();
}

const app = express();
const cors = require('cors');


mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGODB_URI || "", {
    dbName: "WordsThatIKnowMongoDB"
})
    .then(() => console.debug("Database connected!"))
    .catch(err => { console.debug(err) });

app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.static("/api-docs"));

app.use(cors());
app.use(routes);

const swaggerUi = require('swagger-ui-express');
const swaggerDocument = require('./swagger.json');

routes.use('/api-docs', swaggerUi.serve);
routes.get('/api-docs', swaggerUi.setup(swaggerDocument));


app.listen(5000, () => {
    console.debug("Running on port 5000.");
});

// Export the Express API
module.exports = app;

You will see in the file above that I changed app. to routes. like this:

routes.use('/api-docs', swaggerUi.serve);
routes.get('/api-docs', swaggerUi.setup(swaggerDocument));

I still can't solve this problem, but maybe this new error can help you find the solution. I'm also looking for that.

  • EDIT: It's solved.

This is the code that solved my problem:

server.ts

import path from 'path';
import cors from 'cors';
import bodyParser from 'body-parser';
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
import routes from './routes';

const express = require("express");
const app = express();

const ROOT_FOLDER = path.join(__dirname, '..');
const SRC_FOLDER = path.join(ROOT_FOLDER, 'src');

// parse requests of content-type - application/x-www-form-urlencoded
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
// parse requests of content-type - application/json
app.use(bodyParser.json());

app.use(cors());
app.use(routes);

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
    require('dotenv').config();
}

mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGODB_URI || "", {
    dbName: "WordsThatIKnowMongoDB"
})
    .then(() => console.debug("Database connected!"))
    .catch(err => { console.debug(err) });

const swaggerUi = require('swagger-ui-express');
const swaggerDocument = require('./swagger.json');
const options = { customCssUrl: '/public/swagger-ui.css', customSiteTitle: "The Words That I Know API - Swagger" };

app.use('/public', express.static(path.join(SRC_FOLDER, 'public')));
app.use('/', swaggerUi.serve);
app.get('/', swaggerUi.setup(swaggerDocument, options));

app.listen(5000, () => {
    console.debug("Running on port 5000.");
});

export default app;
