Ruby CoreLibs Documentation
March 31, 2011
Working with ruby in TextMate is pretty awesome, except for the lack of code completion. It takes me back to the days when I would do all my programming in Java at RIT in emacs. What was nice was I could just search Google for java.lang.String or whatever I needed and would be greeted with a nice JavaDoc of what I needed. Unfortunately with Ruby I find that RDoc is rather crufty, hard to parse and an overall pain. Hell, RDocs use frames!
So it’s time to get with it and enter the 21st century. I used YARD to generate docs based on the 1.8.7 libraries and have them hosted here. So far I’ve found these docs to be much more helpful than the RDocs and they’re faster as I know exactly where to find them!
Hopefully they’re useful for others too!
