## What is `gpt4docstrings`?
`gpt4docstrings` is a library that helps you to write docstrings
for your Python code. Select a path / paths where you want `gpt4docstrings`
to be applied and wait for the results!!
## Requirements
`gpt4docstrings` supports Python 3.9 and above.
## Installation
> **Warning:** At the moment, this library is under heavy development, so it is recommended to always install
> the latest version.
You can install _gpt4docstrings_ via [pip] from [PyPI]:
```console
$ pip install -U gpt4docstrings
```
## Usage
To run `gpt4docstrings` on a specific file, run this command.
```bash
gpt4docstrings my_file.py
```
Remember that, if you don't have your OpenAI API Key defined as an Environment Variable (OPENAI_API_KEY),
`gpt4docstrings` can accept the API Key as an option.
```bash
gpt4docstrings --api_key sk-xxxxxxxxxxxx my_file.py
```
Be aware that, as a safety measure , `gpt4docstrings` won't overwrite the file in place.
Instead, it will generate a `patch` called `gpt4docstring_docstring_generator_patch.diff`
that contains the information about all the changes.
If you want to apply the `patch` to the file, simply run:
```bash
patch -p1 < gpt4docstring_docstring_generator_patch.diff
```
In case you don't want to generate a `patch` file and modify the files in place, you'll
need to add the `--overwrite, -w` option:
```bash
gpt4docstrings -w my_file.py
```
You can also apply `gpt4docstrings` to folders recursively.
```bash
gpt4docstrings src/
```
Another quite common situation is that you may want to exclude the `tests/` folder, for example,
from the generation of docstrings. Doing this is very simple.
```bash
gpt4docstrings --exclude tests/ src/
```
By default, `gpt4docstrings` generates `google` style docstrings. However,
you can choose between: `google`, `numpy`, `epytext`, `reStructuredText`.
You can specify the docstring style using the `-st` option. For example:
```bash
gpt4docstrings -st epytext my_file.py
```
For more information about all the available options, you can check
the `help` info:
```
Usage: gpt4docstrings [OPTIONS] [PATHS]...
Options:
-h, --help Show this message and exit.
-S, --ignore-setters Ignore methods with property setter
decorators.
-P, --ignore-property-decorators
Ignore methods with property setter/getter
decorators.
-n, --ignore-nested-functions Ignore nested functions and methods.
-C, --ignore-nested-classes Ignore nested classes.
-i, --ignore-init-method Ignore `__init__` method of classes.
-s, --ignore-semiprivate Ignore semiprivate classes, methods, and
functions starting with a single underscore.
-p, --ignore-private Ignore private classes, methods, and
functions starting with two underscores.
[default: False]
-w, --overwrite If `True`, it will directly write the
docstrings into the files (it will not
generate git patches)
-v, --verbose INTEGER Verbosity parameter. Defaults to 0.
-e, --exclude PATH Exclude PATHs of files and/or directories.
Multiple `-e/--exclude` invocations
supported.
-k, --api_key TEXT OpenAI's API key. If not provided,
`gpt4docstrings` will try to access
`OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable.
-st, --style TEXT Docstring style, which must be one of
'google', 'reStructuredText', 'epytext',
'numpy'
-m, --model TEXT The model to be used by `gpt4docstrings`. By
default, `gpt-3.5-turbo`.
```
I also encourage you to see the [Command-line Reference] for more details!!
## Example
Here is a full example using `gpt4docstring` to generate docstrings
for the python code inside `example/example.py`.
```python
import asyncio
async def async_example():
await asyncio.sleep(2)
class MyClass:
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = value
@staticmethod
def nested_method():
def inner_function():
print("Nested method inner function")
print("Nested method start")
inner_function()
print("Nested method completed")
```
We'll create `numpy` docstrings in this case and will generate a patch file (default) instead of directly overwriting
the file directly. We'll also increase the level of verbosity to see some additional information.
> **Warning:** We are assuming you already have the OpenAI API Key set as an Environment Variable. Otherwise, this
> example won't work.
```
gpt4docstrings example/example.py -v 1 -st numpy
```
After it finishes documenting, we should see a new patch file on our directory called `gpt4docstring_docstring_generator_patch.diff`.
To apply the patch, simply run:
```bash
patch -p1 < gpt4docstring_docstring_generator_patch.diff
```
The result should be similar to the following (`gpt-3.5-turbo` temperature
is set to 1, so you should expect different results every time you run the command)
```python
import asyncio
async def async_example():
"""
An asynchronous example function.
This function asynchronously sleeps for 2 seconds.
Returns
-------
None
This function does not return any value.
"""
await asyncio.sleep(2)
class MyClass:
"""
A class representing MyClass.
Parameters
----------
value : any
The initial value for MyClass.
Methods
-------
nested_method : static method
A nested static method within MyClass.
"""
def __init__(self, value):
"""
Initialize a new instance of the class.
Parameters
----------
value : any
The initial value for the instance.
Returns
-------
None
Raises
------
None
"""
self.value = value
@staticmethod
def nested_method():
"""
This static method demonstrates a nested method.
Raises
------
None
Returns
-------
None
"""
def inner_function():
"""
Inner function.
This function performs a nested method inner function.
Parameters
----------
None
Returns
-------
None
"""
print("Nested method inner function")
print("Nested method start")
inner_function()
print("Nested method completed")
```
Suppose now that we want to modify the docstring type. For example,
suppose we want to use `epytext` style. That's very easy with
`gpt4docstrings`, we just need to run the same command changing the docstring style.
> Be aware that, by default, `gpt4docstrings` will allways generate
> docstrings for undocumented functions / classes and also translate the existing
> ones to follow the provided style. If you just want to generate docstrings (no translation),
> simply set the `-t` flag to `False`.
```bash
gpt4docstrings example/example.py -st epytext
```
If we apply the patch, we'll get the previous code with the
docstrings translated:
```python
import asyncio
async def async_example():
"""
An asynchronous example function.
This function asynchronously sleeps for 2 seconds.
@rtype: None
@return: This function does not return any value.
"""
await asyncio.sleep(2)
class MyClass:
"""
A class representing MyClass.
@type value: any
@ivar value: The initial value for MyClass.
@type nested_method: static method
@ivar nested_method: A nested static method within MyClass.
"""
def __init__(self, value):
"""
Initialize a new instance of the class.
@param value: The initial value for the instance.
@type value: any
@return: None
@raise None
"""
self.value = value
@staticmethod
def nested_method():
"""
This static method demonstrates a nested method.
@rtype: None
@return: None
@raise: None
"""
def inner_function():
"""
Inner function.
This function performs a nested method inner function.
@rtype: None
"""
print("Nested method inner function")
print("Nested method start")
inner_function()
print("Nested method completed")
```
