yard-struct

Plugin for YARD which generates documentation for Struct members.

Without yard-struct, there's a big difference between these as YARD can see them:

class A < Struct.new(:foo, :bar)
  def to_s
    foo + bar
  end
end

class B
  attr_accessor :foo, :bar
  def to_s
    foo + bar
  end
end

yard-struct makes it so that when YARD examines the first, it creates attributes for the auto-generated accessors :foo and :bar.

This plugin also adds a new tag, @member. This lets you document the Struct members with types. Use it as such:

##
# Whizbang class does lots of stuff.
#
# @member [IO, #read] input the input file to whizbang
# @member [Proc, #call] frob the proc to frobinate the input
class Whizbang < Struct.new(:input, :frob)
end

The generated types will be shown prominently in the generated documentation.

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
