**NOTE**: This is a fork of the original `sphinx-autoapi`,
which intended to make it compatible with MyST-Parser.
Hopefully, the changes will eventually be merged upstream.
The goals are:

1. Add a set of templates, for use with MyST-Parser
2. Make it possible to write files with a specific extension, based on a file regex;
   we want users to be able to gradually migrate existing codebases to MyST-Parser,
   so being able to specify only certain files will be very helpful.

Sphinx AutoAPI provides "autodoc" style documentation for multiple programming languages
without needing to load, run, or import the project being documented.

In contrast to the traditional `Sphinx autodoc <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/extensions/autodoc.html>`_,
which is Python-only and uses code imports,
AutoAPI finds and generates documentation by parsing source code.

Getting Started
---------------

The following steps will walk through how to add AutoAPI to an existing Sphinx project.
For instructions on how to set up a Sphinx project,
see Sphinx's documentation on
`Getting Started <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/quickstart.html>`_.

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~

AutoAPI can be installed through pip:

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install sphinx-autoapi

Next, add and configure AutoAPI in your Sphinx project's `conf.py`.
Other languages may require
`further configuration <https://sphinx-autoapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials.html#setting-up-automatic-api-documentation-generation>`_:

.. code-block:: python

    extensions.append('autoapi.extension')

    autoapi_type = 'python'
    autoapi_dirs = ['path/to/source/files', 'src']

Where `autoapi_type` can be one of any of the supported languages:

==========  ================
Language    ``autoapi_type``
==========  ================
Python      ``'python'``
Go          ``'go'``
Javascript  ``'javascript'``
.NET        ``'dotnet'``
==========  ================

When the documentation is built,
AutoAPI will now generate API documentation into an `autoapi/` directory and add an entry to the documentation in your top level table of contents!

To configure AutoAPI behaviour further,
see the `Configuration documentation <https://sphinx-autoapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/config.html>`_.


Contributing
------------

Running the tests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tests are executed through `tox <https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_.

.. code-block:: bash

    tox

Code Style
~~~~~~~~~~

Code is formatted using `black <https://github.com/python/black>`_.

You can check your formatting using black's check mode:

.. code-block:: bash

    tox -e formatting

You can also get black to format your changes for you:

.. code-block:: bash

    black autoapi/ tests/

You can even get black to format changes automatically when you commit using `pre-commit <https://pre-commit.com/>`_:


.. code-block:: bash

    pip install pre-commit
    pre-commit install
