Sphinx AutoAPI is a Sphinx extension for generating complete API documentation
without needing to load, run, or import the project being documented.

In contrast to the traditional `Sphinx autodoc <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/extensions/autodoc.html>`_,
which requires manual authoring and uses code imports,
AutoAPI finds and generates documentation by parsing source code.

For more information, see `the full documentation <https://sphinx-autoapi.readthedocs.org>`_.

Getting Started
---------------

The following steps will walk through how to add AutoAPI to an existing Sphinx project.
For instructions on how to set up a Sphinx project,
see `Sphinx's documentation <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/quickstart.html>`_.

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~

AutoAPI can be installed through pip:

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install sphinx-autoapi

Next, add and configure AutoAPI in your Sphinx project's `conf.py`.

.. code-block:: python

    extensions.append('autoapi.extension')

    autoapi_dirs = ['path/to/source/files', 'src']

When the documentation is built,
AutoAPI will now generate API documentation into an `autoapi/` directory
and add an entry to the documentation in your top level table of contents!

To configure AutoAPI behaviour further,
see the `Configuration documentation <https://sphinx-autoapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/config.html>`_.


Contributing
------------

Running the tests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tests are executed through `tox <https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_.

.. code-block:: bash

    tox

Code Style
~~~~~~~~~~

Code is formatted using `ruff <https://docs.astral.sh/ruff>`_.

You can check your formatting using ruff format's check mode:

.. code-block:: bash

    tox -e format

You can also get ruff to format your changes for you:

.. code-block:: bash

    ruff format

Release Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Release notes are managed through `towncrier <https://towncrier.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html>`_.
When making a pull request you will need to create a news fragment to document your change:

.. code-block:: bash

    tox -e release_notes -- create --help
