A Ruby code analysis tool and documentation generator.

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.

Please see the project documentation for more details.

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

• Documentation Coverage - This guide explains how to test and monitor documentation coverage in your Ruby projects using the Decode gem's built-in bake tasks.

• 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.

• Ruby Documentation - This guide covers documentation practices and pragmas supported by the Decode gem for documenting Ruby code. These pragmas provide structured documentation that can be parsed and used to generate API documentation and achieve complete documentation coverage.

Please see the project releases for all releases.

• Add support for indexing methods inside Struct.new and Data.define assignment blocks.

- Add `decode:documentation:markdown` bake task for generating LLM-optimized Markdown documentation.

• Add support for @example pragmas in Ruby documentation comments.

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

• 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.

• Introduce support for RBS signature generation

• Fix handling of &block arguments in call nodes.

• Fix handling of definitions nested within if/unless/elsif/else blocks.
