Autodoc-Style Directives
------------------------
You can opt to write API documentation yourself using autodoc style directives.
These directives work similarly to autodoc,
but docstring are retrieved through static analysis instead of through imports.
To use these directives you will need to enable the autodoc extension
in your Sphinx project's ``conf.py``:
.. code:: python
extensions = ['sphinx.ext.autodoc', 'autoapi.extension']
For Python, all directives have an autodoc equivalent
and accept the same options.
The following directives are available:
.. rst:directive:: autoapimodule
autoapiclass
autoapiexception
Equivalent to :rst:dir:`automodule`, :rst:dir:`autoclass`,
and :rst:dir:`autoexception` respectively.
:confval:`autodoc_inherit_docstrings` does not currently work.
.. rst:directive:: autoapifunction
autoapidata
autoapimethod
autoapiattribute
Equivalent to :rst:dir:`autofunction`, :rst:dir:`autodata`,
:rst:dir:`automethod`, and :rst:dir:`autoattribute` respectively.
