The WebSupport Class

class sphinxcontrib.websupport.WebSupport

The main API class for the web support package. All interactions with the web support package should occur through this class.

The class takes the following keyword arguments:

srcdir

The directory containing reStructuredText source files.

builddir

The directory that build data and static files should be placed in. This should be used when creating a WebSupport object that will be used to build data.

datadir

The directory that the web support data is in. This should be used when creating a WebSupport object that will be used to retrieve data.

search

This may contain either a string (e.g. ‘xapian’) referencing a built-in search adapter to use, or an instance of a subclass of BaseSearch.

storage

This may contain either a string representing a database uri, or an instance of a subclass of StorageBackend. If this is not provided, a new sqlite database will be created.

moderation_callback

A callable to be called when a new comment is added that is not displayed. It must accept one argument: a dictionary representing the comment that was added.

staticdir

If the static files should be created in a different location and not in '/static', this should be a string with the name of that location (e.g. builddir + '/static_files').

Note

If you specify staticdir, you will typically want to adjust staticroot accordingly.

staticroot

If the static files are not served from '/static', this should be a string with the name of that location (e.g. '/static_files').

docroot

If the documentation is not served from the base path of a URL, this should be a string specifying that path (e.g. 'docs').

Changed in version 1.6: WebSupport class is moved to sphinxcontrib.websupport from sphinx.websupport. Please add sphinxcontrib-websupport package in your dependency and use moved class instead.
