## Boilerplate
This project's skeleton (the file-tree shown above) is actually generated from a [Copier](https://copier.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) template called [copier-uv](https://pawamoy.github.io/copier-uv/). When generating the project, Copier asks a series of questions (configured by the template itself), and the answers are used to render the file and directory names, as well as the file contents. Copier also records answers in the `.copier-answers.yml` file, allowing to update the project with latest changes from the template while reusing previous answers.
To update the project (in order to apply latest changes from the template), we use the following command:
```bash
copier update --trust --skip-answered
```
## Scripts, configuration
We have a few scripts that let us manage the various maintenance aspects for this project. The entry-point is the `make` script located in the `scripts` folder. It doesn't need any dependency to be installed to run. See [Management commands](commands.md) for more information.
The `make` script can also invoke what we call "[tasks][]". Tasks need our development dependencies to be installed to run. These tasks are written in the `duties.py` file, and the development dependencies are listed in `devdeps.txt`.
The tools used in tasks have their configuration files stored in the `config` folder, to unclutter the root of the repository. The tasks take care of calling the tools with the right options to locate their respective configuration files.
## Sources
Sources are located in the `src` folder, following the [src-layout](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/discussions/src-layout-vs-flat-layout/). We use [PDM-Backend](https://backend.pdm-project.org/) to build source and wheel distributions, and configure it in `pyproject.toml` to search for packages in the `src` folder.
## Tests
Our test suite is located in the `tests` folder. It is located outside of the sources as to not pollute distributions (it would be very wrong to publish a `tests` package as part of our distributions, since this name is extremely common), or worse, the public API. The `tests` folder is however included in our source distributions (`.tar.gz`), alongside most of our metadata and configuration files. Check out `pyproject.toml` to get the full list of files included in our source distributions.
The test suite is based on [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/en/8.2.x/). Test modules reflect our internal API structure, and except for a few test modules that test specific aspects of our API, each test module tests the logic from the corresponding module in the internal API. For example, `test_finder.py` tests code of the `_griffe.finder` internal module, while `test_functions` tests our ability to extract correct information from function signatures, statically. The general rule of thumb when writing new tests is to mirror the internal API. If a test touches to many aspects of the loading process, it can be added to the `test_loader` test module.
## Program structure
Griffe is composed of two packages:
- `_griffe`, which is our internal API, hidden from users
- `griffe`, which is our public API, exposed to users
When installing the `griffe` distribution from PyPI.org (or any other index where it is published), both the `_griffe` and `griffe` packages are installed. Users then import `griffe` directly, or import objects from it. The top-level `griffe/__init__.py` module exposes all the public API, by importing the internal objects from various submodules of `_griffe`.
We'll be honest: our code organization is not the most elegant, but it works :shrug: Have a look at the following module dependency graph, which will basically tell you nothing except that we have a lot of inter-module dependencies. Arrows read as "imports from". The code base is generally pleasant to work with though.
```python exec="true" html="true"
from pydeps import cli, colors, dot, py2depgraph
from pydeps.pydeps import depgraph_to_dotsrc
from pydeps.target import Target
cli.verbose = cli._not_verbose
options = cli.parse_args(["src/griffe", "--noshow", "--reverse"])
colors.START_COLOR = 128
target = Target(options["fname"])
with target.chdir_work():
dep_graph = py2depgraph.py2dep(target, **options)
dot_src = depgraph_to_dotsrc(target, dep_graph, **options)
svg = dot.call_graphviz_dot(dot_src, "svg").decode()
svg = "".join(svg.splitlines()[6:])
svg = svg.replace('fill="white"', 'fill="transparent"')
print(f'<div class="interactiveSVG pydeps">{svg}</div>')
```
<small><i>You can zoom and pan all diagrams on this page with mouse inputs.</i></small>
The following sections are generated automatically by iterating on the modules of our public and internal APIs respectively, and extracting the comment blocks at the top of each module. The comment blocks are addressed to readers of the code (maintainers, contributors), while module docstrings are addressed to users of the API. Module docstrings in our internal API are never written, because our [module layout][module-layout] is hidden, and therefore modules aren't part of the public API, so it doesn't make much sense to write "user documentation" in them.
