Documentation

Scribe is a fork of mpociot/laravel-apidoc-generator, so see the migration guide if you're coming from there.

Check out the documentation at ReadTheDocs.

Installation

PHP 7.2.5 and Laravel/Lumen 6.0 or higher are required.

composer require --dev knuckleswtf/scribe

Laravel

Publish the config file by running:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Knuckles\Scribe\ScribeServiceProvider" --tag=scribe-config

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

Lumen

• When using Lumen, you will need to run composer require knuckleswtf/scribe instead (no --dev.
• Register the service provider in your bootstrap/app.php:

$app->register(\Knuckles\Scribe\ScribeServiceProvider::class);

• Copy the config file from vendor/knuckleswtf/scribe/config/scribe.php to your project as config/scribe.php. Then add to your bootstrap/app.php:

$app->configure('scribe');
