api-documenter

You can generate API documentation by analyzing route files, controllers, services, transformers, and migrations. The tool scans these codebase components to produce a markdown document detailing endpoint methods, request/response formats, and business logic.

Automated API specification generation analyzes your source code to extract endpoint definitions and business logic. It processes route files and controllers to output a markdown document covering endpoint methods, request formats, and response structures.

Yes, you can document endpoint methods and request/response formats during code reviews. The process analyzes controllers and migrations to ensure clarity and accuracy before development or during review stages.

Automated endpoint documentation works with services and transformers by analyzing them alongside route files and controllers. It extracts business logic and data transformation rules to include in the generated markdown specification.

The best way to automate markdown documentation for API endpoints is using code analysis on route files and migrations. This approach directly extracts methods and request/response formats to generate accurate markdown specifications without manual entry.

Code analysis for generating API documentation is limited to the logic explicitly defined in route files, controllers, and migrations. It may not capture external API behaviors or runtime configurations not present in the analyzed source code.
