Yet Another API Reference Generator plugin for MKDocs.

Installation

Install package from PyPI,

pip install mkdocs-yaarg-plugin

then add it to mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
  - yaarg

Usage

# API Reference

::: some/filepath/to/module.py

See documentation for other options and details.

Why

As a Python docstring documentation generator:

  • Fast & static

yaarg's default Python generator does not depend on any runtime data. Executing Python code to build a documentation is simply unnecessary, slow and potentially dangerous.

As a general API reference generator:

  • Language agnostic
  • Unopinionated on how markdown output should look like

So that one can easily exploit exisiting documentation tooling in their eco-system.
