# Populate Your External Docs docs/_VS Code Ext Commands/Populate-Your-External-Docs:-Generate-API-Documentation-From-Code.md

## Imported Code Object

Certainly! Here's a concise explanation of "Populate Your External Docs" based on the provided code snippet:
20+
21+
"Populate Your External Docs" is a VS Code extension command that automates the generation of external documentation for a codebase. It analyzes the code, identifies relevant symbols (methods, classes, functions) based on configured filters, and creates detailed documentation pages for each symbol. These pages are then published to an external location, such as a documentation website or cloud storage service.
22+
23+
The command uses settings from the `dev-docs.json` file to determine:
24+
1. Which types of symbols to include (e.g., classes, methods, functions)
25+
2. Specific code patterns or names to look for
26+
3. The template for generating documentation content
27+
4. Where to place the generated documentation within the external site
28+
29+
This tool helps maintain up-to-date documentation that stays in sync with the codebase, saving time and reducing the risk of outdated information. While it provides a solid foundation, human input is still valuable for adding context, examples, and additional explanations to the generated documentation.
