Docs

Improvement

In the latest release of the ably-ruby SDK, we’ve added docstring comments for the public methods and properties provided by the SDK so you can quickly access the descriptions directly in your code editor using Intelligent code completion features like Intellisense in VSCode.

We also had feedback from customers that an auto-generated documentation site (powered by tools like Yard is sometimes preferred in addition to the documentation we provide on our main site for the purpose of familiarity. For ably-ruby, the idiomatic documentation is available at /docs/sdk/ruby/v1.2.

You can continue to find our main API Reference documentation, which is categorized into the Realtime and REST interfaces for all programming languages at /docs/api. Feel free to choose whichever option you like.

How do I give feedback?

This docs update and further planned changes are based on feedback from customers like you. So if you’d like to share any other requests or feedback, please reach out to us and help us make Ably better for everyone.
