Fumero reads an importable module with griffe and writes a Fumadocs API reference: one page per module and one per class, alongside the React components that render them.

The reference is generated from the code. Signatures, type annotations and default values are read from the source, and the prose is taken from the docstrings. Nothing is restated by hand, so the reference cannot fall out of step with the code it documents.

Install

uv add fumero --dev  # or pip install fumero

Quick start

Install the components into the docs app that will render the output:

fumero init src/components/mdx

Register them once, so every generated page knows how to render itself:

// src/mdx-components.tsx
import defaultMdxComponents from 'fumadocs-ui/mdx';
import * as Pdx from '@/components/mdx/pdx-components';

export function getMDXComponents(components?: MDXComponents): MDXComponents {
  return { ...defaultMdxComponents, ...Pdx, ...components };
}

The loader plugin that came with them labels the sidebar entries that lead to a module:

// src/lib/source.ts
import { fumeroPlugin } from '@/components/mdx/pdx-plugin';

export const source = loader({
  plugins: [fumeroPlugin()],
  baseUrl: '/docs',
  source: docs.toFumadocsSource(),
});

A generated page carries its kind under _fumero, and Fumadocs keeps only the frontmatter its schema names, so let the rest through:

// source.config.ts
schema: pageSchema.loose(),

Then document a module:

fumero generate example --output content/docs/api --base-url /api --with-meta

Configuration

Every option is a flag on fumero generate and a key in a [tool.fumero] table. Options that do not change between runs belong in pyproject.toml:

[tool.fumero]
output = "content/docs/api"
base-url = "/api"
exclude = ["example.internal", "*.tests"]
with-meta = true

A flag overrides the file, which overrides the defaults.

Documentation

The full documentation lives at here. Fumero documents itself, so the API reference there is a working example of the output as much as it is a reference.

Development

This project uses devenv to manage the development environment. It sets up Python, uv, and everything else you need.

# Install devenv if you haven't already
# https://devenv.sh/getting-started/

# Enter the dev shell - this installs all dependencies automatically
devenv shell

Once you are in the shell, lint, type check, and test with:

uv run ruff check
uv run ty check
uv run pytest
