Developers didn't notice that the API page had more than one set of Swagger docs: the service picker was a select box, so Open Queries and Authorized Queries were hidden until you opened it. The docs now sit under tabs, with every available service visible at once. Dictionary is still selected on load (ALS-13594).

What changed for users

  • Tabs instead of the select box. The selected tab is underlined as well as colored. Tab reaches the selected tab, and the arrow keys plus Home/End move between services. When there's only one service there's nothing to choose, so no tabs are shown.
  • Screen readers hear the change. "Showing the Open Queries API documentation." is announced once the new document has rendered. Load errors, the unavailable state and a successful Retry are announced too. The first document on page load isn't announced.
  • Authorized Queries only for signed-in users. Visitors who aren't signed in no longer see it. If the session ends while it's open (here, in another tab, or by expiry), the docs move to Dictionary and announce it.
  • ?service= links. /api?service=hpds-open-access#api-access opens that service. Clicking a tab writes the parameter to the address, replacing the current history entry rather than adding one. Back and Forward to an address that names another service switch to it. An unknown or hidden value falls back to Dictionary and is dropped from the address. A plain /api still opens on Dictionary.

Worth a look

  • Shared panel in Tabs. Tabs gains a shared mode: one panel for the selected tab instead of one per tab. The page needs this because Swagger's bundle can't be unmounted, so there's a single viewer that swaps documents. The panel element never changes, including when the list is hidden for a single service.
  • Section tab color. Inactive section tabs now use surface-800 (it was surface-600). At 600 their labels were 2.5:1 and 3.8:1 on the API page's background in two of the themes. This also darkens the admin Site banners tabs, the only other section user. The contrast test now covers the tabs in all three themes.
  • Tab clicks are now navigations. A tab writes ?service= with goto(url, { replace: true, reset: false }), not shallow replaceState. replaceState leaves page.url behind, and the On this page links and Back then put a stale query back. Side effect: each tab click also logs one page.navigate event (/api → /api) and a GA page_view.
  • Logging. api.docs_service_select gains source: 'tab' | 'url' | 'session'. url covers a link that overrides the default on load, and Back/Forward.
  • Swagger's own history entries. Swagger UI bundles a smooth-scroll script that intercepts every #anchor click on the page and pushes its own history entry, so an On this page click can add two. This was already happening, and I left it alone. The service-follows-Back logic reads the address bar so it still works.

Walkthrough

The API documentation page now presents available services as tabs, filters authorized services by sign-in state, and synchronizes selection with the URL and browser history. The shared Tabs component can render one persistent panel. The page also announces loading outcomes and handles retries and service changes.

Changes: API Documentation Service Tabs

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared Tabs panel behavior
src/lib/ui/Tabs.svelte, src/lib/ui/Tabs.svelte.test.ts
Tabs adds an optional shared mode that renders one panel for the selected tab. With fewer than two tabs, it omits the tab list and panel role. Tests cover panel identity, accessible labeling, and tab controls. The section variant’s inactive text color changes to surface-800.
Service visibility and document lifecycle
src/routes/(picsure)/(public)/api/ApiDocumentation.svelte
Services now declare sign-in requirements, and the page filters them by session state. The page selects a visible service, handles document failures and retries, and changes selection or reports unavailability when session changes hide a service.
Service selection and URL synchronization
src/routes/(picsure)/(public)/api/ApiDocumentation.svelte, src/routes/(picsure)/(public)/api/+page.svelte, src/routes/(picsure)/(public)/api/ApiDocumentation.svelte.test.ts, src/routes/(picsure)/(public)/api/ApiPage.svelte.test.ts, tests/end-to-end/api/*
Service tabs update URL state and selection logs. The page follows browser history and displays announcements. The API page uses bare-fragment navigation. Tests cover service selection, URL and history behavior, keyboard interaction, loading states, and tab contrast.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Replace the service select box with Tabs: all available services are
visible at once, the selected tab is underlined as well as colored, and
the arrow keys move between them. Switching and load errors are
announced through a live region.

Authorized Queries is shown only to signed-in users; signing out while
it's open moves to the Dictionary. A ?service=<name> link opens that
service, and tab clicks write it to the address with replaceState.
api.docs_service_select records where a change came from.

Tabs gains a shared-panel mode for content that swaps in place (one
Swagger viewer), and inactive section tabs use surface-800 so their
labels keep 4.5:1 on the API page's background in every theme.
