A tool for generating command documentation from Python CLI applications.

Project description

> cmdpedia

cmdpedia_generator is a work-in-progress that aims to make documenting command line applications easier.

Given a Python (Click-only for now) module, it'll parse its docstring and commands to generate a single HTML file that displays this information in a searchable, interactive way.

Features

  • Generates a standalone, sharable HTML file
  • Search for commands by name or keyword
  • View available inputs for a selected command
  • Add inputs to customize the command's syntax
  • Edit placeholder values in the syntax
  • Copy the complete command syntax with selected inputs

Demo

View the cmdpedia for this project's main module.

Additional examples are located in the docs/example_modules folder.

Usage

Once installed, generate a cmdpedia by either importing the module and calling the generate_cmdpedia function, or by running the package as a script.
