tfdocs.public_api.local_definitions_filter

Filters children recursively.

Only returns those defined in this package.

This follows the API for visitors defined by traverse.traverse.

This is a much tighter constraint than the default "base_dir" filter which ensures that only objects defined within the package root are documented. This applies a similar constraint, to each submodule.

in the api-tree below, Dense is defined in tf.keras.layers, but imported into tf.layers and tf.keras.

tf
  keras
    from tf.keras.layers import Dense
    layers
       class Dense(...)
  layers
    from tf.keras.layers import Dense

This filter hides the tf.layers.Dense reference as Dense is not defined within the tf.layers package. The reference at tf.keras.Dense is still visible because dense is defined inside the tf.keras tree.

One issue/feature to be aware of with this approach is that if you hide the defining module, the object will not be visible in the docs at all. For example, if used with the package below, util_1 and util_2 are never documented.

my_package
  _utils    # leading `_` means private.
    def util_1
    def util_2
  subpackage
    from my_package._utils import *

Arguments: path: A tuple or name parts forming the attribute-lookup path to this object. For tf.keras.layers.Dense path is: ("tf","keras","layers","Dense") parent: The parent object. children: A list of (name, value) pairs. The attributes of the patent.

A filtered list of children (name, value) pairs.
