What’s Been Done

Complete Documentation Setup:

  • Added comprehensive Google-style docstrings to core modules:

    • __init__.py - Main package with detailed module descriptions

    • connection.py - Already had excellent docstrings

    • document.py - Already had comprehensive docstrings

    • fields/base.py - Enhanced base field class documentation

    • schema.py - Already had good docstrings

Sphinx Configuration:

  • Created conf.py with ansys-sphinx-theme as requested

  • Set html_permalinks_icon = "<span>¶</span>" as specified

  • Configured Napoleon for Google-style docstrings

  • Set up intersphinx mapping for Python documentation

  • Enabled sphinx-copybutton for code examples

Complete Documentation Structure:

  • index.rst - Main documentation landing page

  • api/ directory with comprehensive API reference:

    • Individual module documentation files

    • Detailed usage examples and code samples

    • Proper cross-references and navigation

API Reference Documentation:

  • Connection management and pooling

  • Document models and metaclasses

  • All field types with examples

  • Query building and execution

Building the Documentation

  1. Install dependencies:

    pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
    
  2. Build HTML documentation:

    cd docs
    make html
    
  3. View documentation:

    open _build/html/index.html
    

Live Development

For live rebuilding during development:

cd docs
make livehtml

This will start a server with auto-reload at http://localhost:8000.
