You love pydantic ❤ and you want to document your models and configuration settings with sphinx?

Perfect, let's go. But wait, sphinx' autodoc does not integrate too well with pydantic models 😕.

Don't worry - just pip install autodoc_pydantic ☺.

Features

• 💬 provides default values, alias and constraints for model fields
• 🔗 adds hyperlinks between validators and corresponding fields
• 📃 includes collapsable model json schema
• 🏄 natively integrates with autodoc and autosummary extensions
• 📎 defines explicit pydantic prefixes for models, settings, fields, validators and model config
• 📋 shows summary section for model configuration, fields and validators
• 👀 hides overloaded and redundant model class signature
• 📚 sorts fields, validators and model config within models by type
• 🍀 Supports pydantic >= 1.5.0 and sphinx >= 3.4.0
