1. Use this file (:idf_file:`docs/api-reference/template.rst`) as a template to document API.
|
||
|
2. Change the file name to the name of the header file that represents documented API.
|
||
|
3. Include respective files with descriptions from the API folder using ``..include::``
|
||
|
|
||
|
* README.rst
|
||
|
* example.rst
|
||
|
* ...
|
||
|
|
||
|
4. Optionally provide description right in this file.
|
||
|
5. Once done, remove all instructions like this one and any superfluous headers.

1. Provide overview where and how this API may be used.
|
||
|
2. Where applicable include code snippets to illustrate functionality of particular functions.
|
||
|
3. To distinguish between sections, use the following `heading levels <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/rest.html#sections>`_:

* ``#`` with overline, for parts
|

|
* ``*`` with overline, for chapters
|
||
|
* ``=``, for sections
|
||
|
* ``-``, for subsections
|
||
|
* ``^``, for subsubsections
|

|
* ``"``, for paragraphs

*INSTRUCTIONS*

1. Prepare one or more practical examples to demonstrate functionality of this API.
|
||
|
2. Each example should follow pattern of projects located in ``esp-idf/examples/`` folder.
|
||
|
3. Place example in this folder complete with ``README.md`` file.
|
||
|
4. Provide overview of demonstrated functionality in ``README.md``.
|
||
|
5. With good overview reader should be able to understand what example does without opening the source code.
|
||
|
6. Depending on complexity of example, break down description of code into parts and provide overview of functionality of each part.
|
||
|
7. Include flow diagram and screenshots of application output if applicable.
|
||
|
8. Finally add in this section synopsis of each example together with link to respective folder in ``esp-idf/examples/``.

1. This repository provides for automatic update of API reference documentation using :doc:`code markup retrieved by Doxygen from header files <../contribute/documenting-code>`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
2. Update is done on each documentation build by invoking script :idf_file:`docs/gen-dxd.py` for all header files listed in the ``INPUT`` statement of :idf_file:`docs/Doxyfile`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
3. Each line of the ``INPUT`` statement (other than a comment that begins with ``##``) contains a path to header file ``*.h`` that will be used to generate corresponding ``*.inc`` files::

||

##

||
|
## Wi-Fi - API Reference
|
||
|
##
|
||
|
../components/esp32/include/esp_wifi.h \
|
||
|
../components/esp32/include/esp_smartconfig.h \
|
||
![]() |
|
||
![]() |
4. The ``*.inc`` files contain formatted reference of API members generated automatically on each documentation build. All ``*.inc`` files are placed in Sphinx ``_build`` directory. To see directives generated for e.g. ``esp_wifi.h``, run ``python gen-dxd.py esp32/include/esp_wifi.h``.
|
||
![]() |
|
||

5. To show contents of ``*.inc`` file in documentation, include it as follows::
|
||
![]() |
|
||
![]() |
.. include:: /_build/inc/esp_wifi.inc
|
||
![]() |
|
||
![]() |
For example see :idf_file:`docs/api-reference/wifi/esp_wifi.rst`
|
||
|
|
||
|
6. Optionally, rather that using ``*.inc`` files, you may want to describe API in you own way. See :idf_file:`docs/api-reference/system/deep_sleep.rst` for example.

Below is the list of common ``.. doxygen...::`` directives:

* Functions - ``.. doxygenfunction:: name_of_function``
|

|
* Unions -``.. doxygenunion:: name_of_union``
|

|
* Structures -``.. doxygenstruct:: name_of_structure`` together with ``:members:``
|
||
|
* Macros - ``.. doxygendefine:: name_of_define``
|

|
* Type Definitions - ``.. doxygentypedef:: name_of_type``

To provide a link to header file, use the :ref:`link custom role <link-custom-roles>` as follows::
|
||
![]() |
|
||
![]() |
* :component_file:`path_to/header_file.h`
|
||
![]() |
|
||
![]() |
7. In any case, to generate API reference, the file :idf_file:`docs/Doxyfile` should be updated with paths to ``*.h`` headers that are being documented.
|
||
|
|
||
|
8. When changes are committed and documentation is build, check how this section has been rendered. :doc:`Correct annotations <../contribute/documenting-code>` in respective header files, if required.
