This document describes the current stable version of Celery (5.0). For development docs, go here.

Source code for celery.contrib.sphinx

"""Sphinx documentation plugin used to document tasks.

Introduction
============

Usage
-----

The Celery extension for Sphinx requires Sphinx 2.0 or later.

Add the extension to your :file:`docs/conf.py` configuration module:

.. code-block:: python

    extensions = (...,
                  'celery.contrib.sphinx')

If you'd like to change the prefix for tasks in reference documentation
then you can change the ``celery_task_prefix`` configuration value:

.. code-block:: python

    celery_task_prefix = '(task)'  # < default

With the extension installed `autodoc` will automatically find
task decorated objects (e.g. when using the automodule directive)
and generate the correct (as well as add a ``(task)`` prefix),
and you can also refer to the tasks using `:task:proj.tasks.add`
syntax.

Use ``.. autotask::`` to alternatively manually document a task.
