Some love it, some hate it but Django has a whole second documentation site called CCBV. No matter what team you're in, such documentation interface is very useful but... what if we could document whole Django projects that way?
Django is incredibly powerful, but as your project grows, it also often gains in complexity. This can be daunting for new members on your team or even future you. Class methods and fields can be inherited from multiple parent classes and mixins, making it hard to get a complete picture of what a model can do at a glance. And when I say "class" I mean any type of class, including models!
If you've ever used sites like ccbv.co.uk, cdrf.co, and cdf.9vo.lt you will know how powerful such API documentation can be.
In this talk, I'll demonstrate how you can leverage Python's reflection capabilities to automatically generate detailed API documentation similar to those sites but for your own Django projects and your own custom classes whether they are models, views or anything else.
You'll learn how reflection makes this possible, how to automate this process, and how to integrate it into your developer workflow. Stop wondering what your classes can do - let them tell you directly!
