# Automated (Python) Module Documentation in README

## What's this?

Automated docstring extraction and creation/update of documentation (of python modules) in README File.

### Why?

Because it's nice :-)

### How?

[doc_to_md.py](src/doc_to_md/doc_to_md.py) loops through all Python files in the Repository and extracts the function calls + the
corresponding short description from the docstrings. These are added to a dictionary and afterwards converted to
a Markdown Table. Finally, the section **_Functions & Classes_** is appended / updated in the README File.

### Install & Use Python Package

Currently available on [TestPyPI](https://test.pypi.org/project/doc-to-markdown-mz/).
 
```shell
pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ doc-to-markdown-mz
```

- **Use within Python** 
```python
import doc_to_md.doc_to_md as dtm

dtm.update_markdown_file(
    file="README.md",
    root_dir=None,              # Directory used as root for searching modules, defaults to folder containing README.md
    exclude_modules=None,       # List of modules to be excluded
    specified_modules=None,     # Only these modules will be included
    separate=True               # Create one table per module
)
```

- **Command Line**
```shell
python -m doc_to_md.doc_to_md -f "README.md" [-r ROOT_DIR] [-e EXCLUDE_MODULES] [-m SELECTED_MODULES] [--separated]

-r ROOT_DIR             # Directory used as root for searching modules, defaults to folder containing README.md
-e EXCLUDE_MODULES      # List of modules to be excluded
-s SELECTED_MODULES     # Only these modules will be included
--separated             # Create one table per module
```
