Autodoc all apps from a project to Sphinx

Project description

Django is awesome in that way you can reuse a lot of applications in your projects. It means for big projects that you’ll get a long list of applications in your settings.INSTALLED_APP.

If you’re using Django with Sphinx and want to autodoc all these apps in a wink of an eye, then this app is for you.

How it works

It will scrape all your .py files in each application listed by INSTALLED_APP, then add automodules in your DS_ROOT/modules.rst.

Settings

You can modify some of the settings used by django-sphinx-autodoc:

  • DS_ROOT: root path for documentation (default to project_dir/doc)

  • DS_MASTER_DOC: name of your master document (default to “index.rst”)

  • DS_FILENAME: name for the modules (default to “auto_modules.rst”)

  • DS_EXCLUDED_APPS: list of applications to exclude (default to [])

  • DS_EXCLUDED_MODULES: list of files to exclude (default to [“__init__.py”])

TODO

v1

  • Include external apps (currently only internal apps, located in the project root directory)

  • Write tests

  • improve the not_relevant stuff to auto exclude a file without class or def

v2

Django command extension to update the autodoc
