How to configure pydoclint

Here is how to configure pydoclint.

For detailed explanations of all options, please read this page: Configuration options of pydoclint.

1. Specifying options inline

In either your terminal window or your CI/CD file (such as tox.ini):

• Native pydoclint:

  pydoclint --check-arg-order=False <FILE_OR_FOLDER_PATH>
  

• Via Flake8:

  flake8 --check-arg-order=False <FILE_OR_FOLDER_PATH>
  

(Note: the = sign is not necessary but it is encouraged, because it’s just a bit more “Pythonic” and easier to read.)

2. Specifying options in a configuration file

• Native:

  • In a .toml file somewhere in your project folder, add a section like this (put in the config that you need):

    [tool.pydoclint]
    style = 'google'
    exclude = '\.git|\.tox|tests/data|some_script\.py'
    require-return-section-when-returning-nothing = true
    

  • Then, specify the path of the .toml file in your command:

    pydoclint --config=path/to/my/config.toml <FILE_OR_FOLDER_PATH>
    

  • Note: the default value for --config option is pyproject.toml (in the root directory of your project) if you do not specify the config file name.

• Flake8:

  • In your flake8 config file (see flake8’s official doc), add the config you need under the section [flake8]

3. Specifying options in .pre-commit-config.yaml

This is a template for .pre-commit-config.yaml:

As a native tool

As a flake8 plugin

```yaml - repo: https://github.com/jsh9/pydoclint rev: hooks: - id: pydoclint args: - --style=google - --check-return-types=False ``` </td>

```yaml - repo: https://github.com/pycqa/flake8 rev: hooks: - id: flake8 additional_dependencies: - pydoclint== args: - --style=google - --check-return-types=False ``` </td></tr> </table> If you've already specified all the configuration options in a config file, here is how to cite them in `.pre-commit-config.yaml`: As a native tool As a flake8 plugin ```yaml - repo: https://github.com/jsh9/pydoclint rev: hooks: - id: pydoclint args: - --config=pyproject.toml ``` </td> ```yaml - repo: https://github.com/pycqa/flake8 rev: hooks: - id: flake8 additional_dependencies: - Flake8-pyproject>=1.2.0 - pydoclint== args: - --toml-config=pyproject.toml - --style=google - --check-return-types=False ``` </td></tr> </table> Here is an example accompanying `pyproject.toml` config file: As a native tool As a flake8 plugin ```toml [tool.pydoclint] check-return-types = false style = "google" ``` ```toml [tool.flake8] check-return-types = false style = "google" ```
