Documentation issues

I am trying to work out how to directly create a DirectThingClient and not have it injected into a thing by LabThings.

I need it for testing because I think the reason a test is taking 30 seconds is that the FastAPI TestClient is taking 0.1s per request, so this adds up when trying to make lots of calls.

The docs still have a question I asked you, this somehow slipped in:

The links on this page do not link to DirectThingClient.

Trying to find the docs

• I can't find any mention in https://labthings-fastapi.readthedocs.io/en/v0.0.11/autoapi/index.html
• If I search it was not clear to me that I need to type full words or it ignores it:

is there a way to update the search settings

The docs

Reading the docs, it is not clear to me at all whether I can make an instance? And if not, if there is something I can do?

If I attach the Thing to a server, but I have reference to it. Can I just call it?

Edited to add

• It is unclear to me what is imported with all. I have only ever used __all__ imports with pdoc, that uses this to create clear docs for what is available when you import.
• Most python documentation has a way to view source code so you can see code that was documented. This doesn't seem to be working.

Start with the v0.0.11 AutoAPI index and the documentation entry points for DirectThingClient, then inspect how exported names, search, and source links are configured. Done means the client can be found and its usage is explained, the import behavior is documented, and the reported search and source-view problems are resolved.
