A FastAPI library for generating and managing project documentation

Project description

FastAPI AutoDoc

FastAPI AutoDoc is a library designed to help developers generate and manage project documentation dynamically for Python projects. It integrates seamlessly with FastAPI and provides a web-based dashboard for managing and viewing documentation.

Features

  • Dynamic Documentation: Automatically generate documentation for Python FastApi projects.
  • Web-Based Dashboard: View and manage documentation through a user-friendly interface.
  • File Watching: Monitor project files for changes and update documentation in real-time.
  • REST API: Expose endpoints for interacting with the documentation service programmatically.
  • Health Check: Built-in health check endpoint to monitor the service.

Installation

You can install the library using pip:

pip install fastapi-autodoc

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

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Feel free to open issues or submit pull requests on the GitHub repository.
