tip

Scribe helps you generate docs automatically, but if you really want to make friendly, maintainable and testable API docs, there's some more stuff you need to know. So I made a course for you.🤗

Installation​

Requirements

PHP 7.4 and Laravel/Lumen 6 or higher are required.

First, add the package via Composer:

composer require --dev knuckleswtf/scribe

Then complete the installation:

Publish the config file by running:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=scribe-config

This will create a scribe.php file in your config folder.



Alright, you're ready to start documenting! Follow the Getting Started guide to see what you can do with Scribe.
