Usage

After installing the library, you can run the FastAPI AutoDoc server using the following command:

fastapi-autodoc runserver

This will start the server on http://127.0.0.1:8000 by default.

Accessing the Dashboard

Once the server is running, you can access the web-based dashboard at:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/documentation/dashboard

From the dashboard, you can:

• View the list of documented projects.
• Generate new documentation.
• Monitor file changes in real-time.
• When you view the documentation, it will be displayed in a web-based interface. And you can always view detailed documentation

Health Check

To verify that the server is running, you can access the health check endpoint:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/health

This will return a JSON response indicating the status of the service:

{
  "status": "ok"
}

Configuration

You can customize the behavior of FastAPI AutoDoc by setting environment variables in a .env file. For example:

PROJECT_PATH=the path to the project you want to document
DEBUG=True
