## 🛠️ Usage Examples

### Command Line Interface

```bash
# Interactive setup with project analysis
pydevelop-docs setup-general /path/to/project

# Non-interactive setup
pydevelop-docs setup-general /path/to/project --non-interactive --force

# Preview what will be created
pydevelop-docs setup-general /path/to/project --dry-run

# Custom documentation directory
pydevelop-docs setup-general /path/to/project --target-dir /custom/docs/path

# Copy documentation setup between projects
pydevelop-docs copy-setup /source/project /destination/project --include-config
```

### Python API

```python
from pydevelop_docs import setup_project_docs

# One-line setup
result = setup_project_docs("/path/to/project")
print(f"Documentation created at: {result['target_dir']}")

# Non-interactive with custom options
result = setup_project_docs(
    "/path/to/project",
    target_dir="/custom/location",
    force=True,
    interactive=False
)

# Preview without executing
plan = setup_project_docs("/path/to/project", dry_run=True)
for action in plan['actions']:
    print(f"Would create: {action}")
```

### Advanced Configuration

```python
from pydevelop_docs.config import get_haive_config

# Get pre-configured Sphinx configuration
config = get_haive_config(
    package_name="my-package",
    package_path="/path/to/package"
)

# Use in your docs/source/conf.py
globals().update(config)
```

### Project Analysis

```python
from pydevelop_docs.general_setup import ProjectDetector
from pathlib import Path

# Analyze any Python project
detector = ProjectDetector(Path("/path/to/project"))
info = detector.detect_project_type()

print(f"Project type: {info['type']}")  # monorepo, single_package, etc.
print(f"Package manager: {info['package_manager']}")  # poetry, setuptools, etc.
print(f"Found {len(info['packages'])} packages")
print(f"Structure: {info['structure']['pattern']}")
```

## ⚙️ Configuration Details

### AutoAPI Hierarchical Organization

**The Problem**: Default AutoAPI creates flat, alphabetical lists of 200+ classes that are impossible to navigate.

**Our Solution**: Hierarchical organization that follows your project structure:

```python
# Key configuration in generated conf.py
autoapi_own_page_level = "module"  # Keep classes with their modules!
autoapi_options = [
    "members",
    "undoc-members", 
    "show-inheritance",
    "show-module-summary",  # Enables hierarchical grouping
]
```

**Result**: Beautiful organized navigation like:
```
📦 my_package
├── 📁 core
│   ├── 📄 engine (3 classes)
│   └── 📄 schema (5 classes)  
└── 📁 utils
    └── 📄 helpers (2 functions)
```

Instead of:
```
❌ All Classes (A-Z)
├── AgentConfig
├── BaseModel
├── Calculator
├── [197 more in flat list...]
```

### Smart Path Detection

PyDevelop-Docs automatically configures AutoAPI directories based on your project structure:

- **Monorepo**: `autoapi_dirs = ['../packages']`
- **Src Layout**: `autoapi_dirs = ['../../src']`  
- **Flat Layout**: `autoapi_dirs = ['../package_name']`
- **Simple Project**: `autoapi_dirs = ['..']`

No manual configuration needed! 🎯
