Sphinx Extension

Odin provides a Sphinx extension for documenting resources. It behaves similarly to the builtin Autodoc tools.

Setup

Add the Odin extension into your Sphinx conf.py:

extensions = [
    ...
    'odin.contrib.sphinx',
    ...
]

Usage

Extension to sphinx.ext.autodoc to support documenting Odin resources.

This extension supports output in two forms, class doc form (for documenting the python objects) and API form for documenting information about fields for use in an API document.

Usage:

.. autoodin-resource:: namespace.path.to.your.Resource
    :include_virtual:
    :hide_choices:

To select API form use the include_virtual option.

Options

The following options are provided by the documenter:

  • include_virtual virtual fields should be included in docs

  • include_validators validators should be listed for fields

  • hide_choices don’t include the list of valid choices for fields
