.. warning:: This is a pre-release version. Some or all features might not work yet.
|
|
|
|
Sphinx AutoAPI aims to provide "autodoc" or "javadoc" style documentation for Sphinx.
|
|
The aim is to support all programming languages,
|
|
be easy to use,
|
|
and not require much configuration.
|
|
|
|
AutoAPI is a parse-only solution for both static and dynamic languages.
|
|
This is in contrast to the traditional `Sphinx autodoc <http://sphinx-doc.org/ext/autodoc.html>`_,
|
|
which is Python-only and uses code imports.
|
|
|
|
Full documentation can be found on `Read the Docs <http://sphinx-autoapi.readthedocs.org>`_.

Basic Workflow
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Sphinx AutoAPI has the following structure:
|
|
|
|
* Configure directory to look for source files
|
|
* Generate JSON from those source files, using language-specific tooling
|
|
* Map the JSON into standard AutoAPI Python objects
|
|
* Generate RST through Jinja2 templates from those Python objects
|
|
|
|
This basic framework should be easy to implement in your language of choice.
|
|
All you need to do is be able to generate a JSON structure that includes your API and docs for those classes, functions, etc.
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
First you need to install autoapi:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
pip install sphinx-autoapi
|
|
|
|
Then add it to your Sphinx project's ``conf.py``:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
extensions = ['autoapi.extension']
|
|
|
|
# Document Python Code
|
|
autoapi_type = 'python'
|
|
autoapi_dir = 'path/to/python/files'
|
|
|
|
# Or, Document Go Code
|
|
autoapi_type = 'go'
|
|
autoapi_dir = 'path/to/go/files'
|
|
|
|
Then in your ``index.rst``, add autoapi to your TOC tree:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: rst
|
|
|
|
.. toctree::
|
|
|
|
autoapi/index
|
|
|
|
This is needed because we will be outputting rst files into the ``autoapi`` directory.
|
|
This adds it into the global TOCTree for your project,
|
|
so that it appears in the menus.
|
|
|
|
We hope to be able to dynamically add items into the TOCTree, and remove this step.
|
|
However, it is currently required.
|
|
|
|
See all available configuration options in :doc:`config`.
|
|
|
|
Customize
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
All of the pages that AutoAPI generates are templated with Jinja2 templates.
|
|
You can fully customize how pages are displayed on a per-object basis.
|
|
Read more about it in :doc:`templates`.
|
|
|
|
Design
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Read more about the deisgn in our :doc:`design`.

Currently Implemented
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
* Python
|
|
* .Net
|
|
* Go
|

|
|
|
|
Future
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Our goal is to support all languages.
|
|
Implementation is quite simple,
|
|
we'll be adding more docs on implementation soon.
