YARD plugin for Dry::Initializer

The [dry-initializer] gem is awesome. It makes defining dependencies of your classes so convenient and declarative.

But when you're using these classses, how to get know which positional arguments does it expect and in which order and which keyword ones?

It's easy (but bother) to look into source code, but in case of using inheritance it will be very cumbersome.

This YARD plugin to the rescue!

Write this:

class Base
  extend Dry::Initializer

  param :account,                       comment: "End user account on behalf of which all actions are done"
  option :force, default: -> { false }, comment: "Execute action regardless of pre-checks result"
end

class ProcessSubject < Base
  param :subject
  option :filter, comment: "Callable object, given +subject+ will allow processing if returns true"
  option :force,  default: -> { true }
end

And you will get this:

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'yard-dry-initializer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Add this line in your .yardopts:

--plugin dry-initializer

Use YARD as usual, enjoy new info in your docs.
