Auto-generate Flask application and extension documentation. Codec8 maps your blueprints, routes, and Flask extension configuration into complete developer docs.
Flask's minimal structure means every project organizes itself differently. Without documentation, a new developer has no idea where routes live, how blueprints are organized, or what extensions are required just to run the app locally.
Tailored documentation features for Flask codebases
Maps Flask blueprints and documents each route with HTTP methods, parameters, and return values
Documents Flask extensions (SQLAlchemy, Login, JWT, Migrate) and their configuration
Generates complete local setup guide from app factory pattern and config objects
Produces database model documentation from SQLAlchemy model classes
From zero to published docs in under a minute

Codec8 reads your Flask source code, dependencies, and structure, then generates README, API docs, architecture diagrams, and setup guide.
Download your documentation as Markdown files or let Codec8 open a pull request directly to your repository.
These well-known projects are perfect candidates for Codec8
Yes. Codec8 detects the application factory pattern and documents how the app is configured, which blueprints are registered, and how to run different configurations (dev/prod/test).
Yes. For Flask-RESTX and Flask-RESTful projects, Codec8 generates REST API documentation from your Resource classes, documenting each endpoint's methods and schemas.
Codec8 documents both types. Template routes get view documentation. API routes get endpoint documentation. The README explains the dual nature of the application clearly.
