Attrs Support

[LordOfPolls]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As of right now, this library does not support attrs dataclasses. Default values or types are not recognised.

Describe the solution you'd like
Attrs to be detected and their attributes documented correctly

Describe alternatives you've considered
Writing the documentation in the class docstring manually.

Additional context
Attrs: https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/

• Features with the insiders label are released to sponsors first, and tied to a funding goal.

As per #317 (comment), the new extractor will make it easy to write extensions to support third-party libs such as attrs.

Any chance to bump this? :)

[LordOfPolls]

I attempted to implement an extension for Griffe. However it really needs to be a post processing extension.
To my knowledge this isn't possible yet

[pawamoy]

Thank you for giving it a try @LordOfPolls. Post-processing extensions are on the Griffe to do list 🙂
I'll also try to think a bit more about attrs support in particular.

Hi @pawamoy, just checking in; has there been any movement on this?

[pawamoy]

Hey @LordOfPolls, no movement yet! But I've recently announced that I'm now working full-time on open source, so the development pace of mkdocstrings should greatly increase 🙂

[LordOfPolls]

Oh neat, congratulations on the move. If attrs support became a insiders feature, i'd definitely jump on your sponsors list

Hi, is this extension still planned? Would be very much interested 🙃

[pawamoy]

Still planned!

[AdrianSosic]

Hi @pawamoy, great to hear. In this case, I'd also like to point you to here

[pawamoy]

Thanks @AdrianSosic, that's useful context!
