View documentation#

Documentation for the latest stable release of PyMeilisearch is hosted at PyMeilisearch documentation.

In the upper right corner of the documentation’s title bar, there is an option for switching from viewing the documentation for the latest stable release to viewing the documentation for the development version or previously released versions.

Adhere to code style#

PyMeilisearch follows the PEP8 standard as outlined in PEP 8 in the PyAnsys Developer’s Guide and implements style checking using pre-commit.

To ensure your code meets minimum code styling standards, run these commands:

pip install pre-commit
pre-commit run --all-files

You can also install this as a pre-commit hook by running this command:

pre-commit install

This way, it’s not possible for you to push code that fails the style checks:

$ pre-commit install
$ git commit -am "FEAT: added the new feature"
