django-docs allows to serve Sphinx generated docs directly from Django.

• Python 2.7-3.6 for Django 1.8 - 1.11
• Python 3.4-3.6 for Django 2.0 or higher

• Project on GitHub: littlepea/django-docs
• Documentation on Read The Docs
• Maintained by Evgeny Demchenko

1. Install django-docs package:

   pip install django-docs
   

2. Add docs to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       'docs',
       ...
   )
   

3. Add docs.urls to urls.py:

   urlpatterns = [
       ...
       url(r'^docs/', include('docs.urls')),
       ...
   ]
   

4. Customize configuration:

   DOCS_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, '../docs/_build/html')
   DOCS_ACCESS = 'staff'
   

Absolute path to the root directory of html docs generated by Sphinx (just like STATIC_ROOT / MEDIA_ROOT settings).

Docs access level (public by default). Possible values:

• public - (default) docs are visible to everyone
• login_required - docs are visible only to authenticated users
• staff - docs are visible only to staff users (user.is_staff == True)
• superuser - docs are visible only to superusers (user.is_superuser == True)
