Generate Documentation in Laravel with AI

Docudoodle is a PHP documentation generator package for Laravel that analyzes your codebase and creates documentation using your AI of choice. Docudoodle helps you understand your codebase better and can help document legacy or existing codebases you've just started working with.

Once you've installed this package, you can generate the documentation using the package's Artisan command. Once completed, the documentation will be available in the documentation/ folder of your project:

php artisan docudoodle:generate

You can use the model of your choice, with the project offering OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and Ollama configuration options. Here's the package's configuration options at the time of writing:

return [
    'openai_api_key' => env('OPENAI_API_KEY', ''),
    'claude_api_key' => env('CLAUDE_API_KEY', ''),
    'default_model' => env('DOCUDOODLE_MODEL', 'gpt-4o-mini'),
    'max_tokens' => env('DOCUDOODLE_MAX_TOKENS', 10000),
    'default_extensions' => ['php', 'yaml', 'yml'],
    'default_skip_dirs' => ['vendor/', 'node_modules/', 'tests/', 'cache/'],
    'ollama_host' => env('OLLAMA_HOST', 'localhost'),
    'ollama_port' => env('OLLAMA_PORT', '11434'),
    'gemini_api_key' => env('GEMINI_API_KEY', ''),
    'default_api_provider' => env('DOCUDOODLE_API_PROVIDER', 'openai'),
];
