Welcome! This sphinx extension provides some useful extensions to the Sphinxs
autodoc_ extension. Those are
1. It creates a *Table of Contents* in the style of the autosummary_ extension
with methods, classes, functions and attributes
2. As you can include the ``__init__`` method documentation for via the
autoclass_content_ configuration value,
we provide the *autodata_content* configuration value to include
the documentation from the ``__call__`` method
3. You can exclude the string representation of specific objects. E.g. if you
have a large dictionary using the *not_document_data* configuration
value.
See the `Documentation on Readthedocs`_ for more details.

Requirements
============

.. _Sphinx: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master
Quickstart
==========
In order to activate the autodocsumm extension, you have to list it in your
``conf.py``:
.. code-block:: python
extensions = [
'sphinx.ext.autodoc',
...,
'autodocsumm',
]
Once this is done, you can use the ``:autosummary:`` option for autodoc
directives to generate a table at the top, e.g.:
.. code-block:: rst
.. automodule:: my.awesome.module
:autosummary:
Optionally, you can make autodocsumm active by default for all autodoc
directives by adding in ``conf.py``:
.. code-block:: python
autodoc_default_options = {
'autosummary': True,
}
