sphinx-swagger 0.0.4

Generate swagger definitions from sphinx docs

Generates a swagger API definition directly from httpdomain based documentation.

Usage

1. Enable the extension in your conf.py by adding 'sphinxswagger' to the extensions list

2. Run the swagger builder (e.g., setup.py swagger)

3. Use the generated swagger.json

Setuptools Command

This library installs a new command named swagger that is available from the setup.py utility. It runs sphinx to generate the swagger output file. It is similar to running sphinx-build -b swagger except that it has access to your packages metadata so you don’t have to configure it in two places!

This is the recommend approach for using this package.

You can configure the output file name in your project’s setup.cfg in the [swagger] section:

[swagger]
output-file = static/swagger.json

This makes it easier to include it directly into your built artifact by adding it as package_data in setup.py. Remember to add it to your MANIFEST.in as well.

Configuration

This extension contains a few useful configuration values that can be set from within the sphinx configuration file.

swagger_description:

Sets the description of the application in the generated swagger file. If this is not set, then the “description” value in html_theme_options will be used if it is set.

swagger_file:

Sets the name of the generated swagger file. The file is always generated in the sphinx output directory – usually build/sphinx/swagger. The default file name is swagger.json.

swagger_license:

A dictionary that describes the license that governs the API. This is written as-is to the License section of the API document. It should contain two keys – name and url.
