sphinx-treeview 0.1.1

Add support for tree view to Sphinx.

Sphinx Tree View

A lightweight Sphinx extension that provides a customizable tree view for documentation. A tree view can have an associated decorator type, which can be used to add custom icons to the tree view. By default, the extension provides a decorator type "dir" with file and folder icons.

Installation

pip install sphinx-treeview

Basic Usage

Add the extension to your Sphinx conf.py:

extensions = [
    'sphinx_treeview'
]

Use the directive in your RST files:

:::{treeview}
- {<decorator name>}`<icon1>` foo
  - {<decorator name>}`<icon2>` bar
- <decorator>`<icon1>` baz
:::

For example, with the default decorator "dir":

:::{treeview}
- {dir}`<folder>` folder
  - {dir}`<file>` file.jpeg
  - {dir}`<file>` file.png
:::

The rendered tree view will look like this:

Configuration Options

The following options can be configured in your conf.py:

# Add custom decorators
stv_decorators = [
    DecoratorType(name="custom", icons=[DecoratorIcon(path="path/to/icon.svg", sphinx_static_path="icon/path/for/sphinx/", width=1.3, height=1.3, css_properties={...})])
]

# Disable default decorators (dir decorator)
stv_disable_default_decorators = False

A decorator icon is defined by a path to the icon file, and the path where the icon will be copied to in the Sphinx static folder. This second path is used in the CSS to load the icon. width and height are the dimensions of the icon in em, and css_properties is a dictionary of CSS properties to be applied to the icon. The name used for the icon in the tree view is the name of the icon file without the extension.

If you want to load all images of a folder as icons, you can use the imagesToDecoratorIcons function:

icons = imagesToDecoratorIcons(path="path/to/folder", sphinx_static_path="path/to/sphinx/folder")

By default, the dimensions of the icons are 1.3em × 1.3em.
