Decode

A Ruby code analysis tool and documentation generator.

Development Status

Motivation

As part of my effort to build better project documentation, I needed a better code analysis tool. While less featured than some of the more mature alternatives, this library focuses on the needs of documentation generation, including speed, cross-referencing and (eventually) multi-language support.

Usage

Please see the project documentation for more details.

  • Getting Started - This guide explains how to use decode for source code analysis.

  • Code Coverage - This guide explains how to compute documentation code coverage.

  • Extract Symbols - This example demonstrates how to extract symbols using the index. An instance of Decode::Index is used for loading symbols from source code files. These symbols are available as a flat list and as a trie structure. You can look up specific symbols using a reference using Decode::Index#lookup.

Releases

Please see the project releases for all releases.

v0.25.0

  • Singleton classes are not relevant for coverage, so they are now ignored by the coverage reporter.

v0.24.4

  • Add support for @constant [Type] Description. tags.
  • Add support for instance variable type inference from @attribute tags.
  • Add support for method visibility in RBS output.

v0.24.0

v0.23.5
