Project description

# Scrapy spiderdocs command

## Usage example

```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/nanvel/scrapy-spiderdocs.git
scrapy spiderdocs <module.name>
```

## Example project

See `documented` project for example.

```python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import scrapy


class ExampleSpider(scrapy.Spider):
"""Some text.
Hi!

; Note

Some note.

; output

{
"1": 1
}
"""

name = 'example'
allowed_domains = ('example.com',)
start_urls = ('http://example.com/',)

def parse(self, response):
yield {
'body_length': len(response.body)
}
```

Settings:
```
SPIDERDOCS_LOCATIONS = {
'documented.spiders.example': "docs/example.md"
}
SPIDERDOCS_SECTION_PROCESSORS = {
'output': lambda i: '```json\n{i}\n```'.format(i=i)
}
```

Execute the command:
```bash
scrapy spiderdocs documented.spiders
```

Output:

# documented.spiders spiders

## example [documented.spiders.example.ExampleSpider]

### Note

Some note.


### output

```json
Some note.


{
"1": 1
}
```

## Output options

### stdout

```bash
scrapy spiderdocs <module.name> > somefile.md
```

### `-o` (`--output`) option

```bash
scrapy spiderdocs <module.name> -o somefile.md
```

### Settings

```python
SPIDERDOCS_LOCATIONS = {
'module.name': "somefile.md"
}
```

The setting used if no module specified.
```bash
scrapy spiderdocs
```

## Docstring syntax

Use `;` to create sections. For example:

```text
; Section 1

Some text ...

; Section 2

Some text ...
```

Use `; end` to close a section:

```text
This text will not be added to the documentation.

; Section 1

Some text ...

; end

And this text also will be skipped.
```

### Section processors

An example:
```
SPIDERDOCS_SECTION_PROCESSORS = {
'output': lambda i: '```json\n{i}\n```'.format(i=i)
}
```


; Output

{
"attr": "value"
}

will be translated into:

### Output

```json
{
"attr": "value"
}
```

## Scrapy settings

`SPIDERDOCS_LOCATIONS: {<module>: <destination>}`, default: `{}`.

`SPIDERDOCS_SECTION_PROCESSORS: {<section_name>: <function>}`, default: `{}`.

See usage examples above.
