####An API documentation generator for Swagger UI and Django REST Framework

This project is built on the Django REST Framework Docs and uses the lovely Swagger from Wordnik as an interface. This application introspectively generates documentation based on your Django REST Framework API code. Comments are generated in combination from code analysis and comment extraction. Here are some of the features that are documented:

  • API title - taken from the class name
  • Methods allowed
  • Serializers & fields in use by a certain method
  • Field default values, minimum, maximum, read-only and required attributes
  • URL parameters (ie. /product/{id})
  • Field help_text property is used to create the description from the serializer or model.

Quick start

  1. pip install django-rest-swagger

  2. Add rest_framework_swagger to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

        INSTALLED_APPS = (
        ...
        'rest_framework_swagger',
    )

  3. Include the rest_framework_swagger URLs to a path of your choice

    patterns = ('',
    ...
    url(r'^docs/', include('rest_framework_swagger.urls')),
)

for more information, see the documentation.
