How to fully disable swagger-ui in spring-boot?(/swagger-ui.html should return 404)

My answer is similar to the answer provided earlier with a slight difference. I usually create a separate spring profile named swagger. When I want to enable Swagger, l pass the following VM flag while starting my application, -Dspring.profiles.active=swagger. Here is an example of my Swagger configuration,

@Profile(value = {"swagger"})@Configuration@EnableSwagger2public class SwaggerConfiguration {    ...}

Next time when you try to access swagger-ui.html without swagger profile, you will get an empty Swagger screen but not 404.

If you don't want to load the static Swagger UI page at all, you can write a simple controller as shown below,

@Profile("!swagger")@RestController@Slf4jpublic class DisableSwaggerUiController {    @RequestMapping(value = "swagger-ui.html", method = RequestMethod.GET)    public void getSwagger(HttpServletResponse httpResponse) throws IOException {        httpResponse.setStatus(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND.value());    }}

Now if you try to access swagger-ui.html without swagger profile, you will get a 404.

with swagger 3.0.0 version you can add springfox.documentation.enabled=false in corresponding environment profile application.properties file.For example, I have added this to application-prod.properties to disable in production (while running the app you must specify the profile using VM args like -Dspring.profiles.active=prod)

You can externalize the @EnableSwagger2 to its own @Configruation and load it conditionally via a property or profile. e.g.

@Profile("!production")@Configuration@EnableSwagger2public class SwaggerConfiguration{    //Additional Swagger Beans

}

this would activate swagger for any profile that isn't production.
