#Scribe for Laravel

Scribe is a powerful tool designed to enhance your Laravel, Lumen, or Dingo API development by automatically generating human-friendly API documentation. It simplifies the documentation process, ensuring that you spend less time writing docs and more time coding.

#Key Features

• Rich Output: Generates a visually appealing single-page HTML document equipped with code samples, human-friendly text, and an interactive "Try It Out" feature. Additionally, it supports exporting to Postman collections and OpenAPI specifications.

• Intelligent Processing: Scribe automatically extracts request parameters from FormRequests or validation rules and can invoke API endpoints to obtain sample responses. It also supports generating examples from Eloquent API Resources or Transformers.

• High Customizability: The appearance and content of the documentation can be tailored to meet specific needs. Modifications can range from simple text changes to complete UI overhauls. Developers can also integrate custom strategies to enhance data extraction and document endpoints or details not present in the codebase.
