awesome-cli-frameworks VS sdoc

I like this one for .NET https://github.com/spectreconsole/spectre.console which I found in this list https://github.com/shadawck/awesome-cli-frameworks.

Done! But before you start this project for yourself, take into consideration that Clack is really lacking in the documentation. Anything fairly complex, you won’t benefit from the pre-made components of clack/prompts. Here's a list of other CLI frameworks you can use instead.

Oclif was one I used a while back but, last I tried it (a couple of months ago), there were either technical or documentation issues that made it a challenge to get started. It sounded like they were in the middle of fixes though so that might be worth a look. Combined with a solid HTTP package like axios, that would be a good leg up if you are proficient in JS.

Good list of options here:

Thor looks great! I'd be surprised if something similar didn't exist for most languages, but with many of them living in obscurity because discovery is so hard without a well-established name for that class of tool. Some googling for "CLI framework" led me to oclif ("Thor for js"?) and to https://www.nexmo.com/legacy-blog/2020/06/12/comparing-cli-b... , but that can't be everything.

PS: https://github.com/shadawck/awesome-cli-frameworks also lists some for go and rust, getting there! (though most probably not half as complete as Thor, self-documentation should definitely be a first-class citizen!)

Once you feel comfortable with both Ruby and Rails, try building a few simple apps on your own by reading the Rails Guides and browsing the Rails API whenever you're stuck.

Hi. I'm a self-taught Ruby on Rails programmer. I have a question about the documentation at https://api.rubyonrails.org. On many of the pages, you'll see methods and their details. Below that, you'll often see examples using different options. This is where I have a question. An example might look like this:

If a method isn't documented in https://api.rubyonrails.org/ it shouldn't be used as we reserve the right to remove or change them at any point.

Rails still holds the top spot in getting things out the door in the shortest amount of time. So many example projects and tons of amazing libraries that are available. They absolutely have the best developer docs in the industry as far as I'm concerned.

https://guides.rubyonrails.org/

https://api.rubyonrails.org/

Phoenix/Liveview is a close second. I would personally use Phoenix/Liveview at this point because since I know that stack pretty well, but it is definitely not as easy as Rails to learn. However, once past the learning phase I think there's distinct advantages especially with Liveview.

Fly.io has a free hosting tier currently. You can also get some free servers through Oracle Cloud.

https://api.rubyonrails.org is your best friend. Check the docs before googling. Instant access to the source of functions. ApiDock is shit but continuously gets to the top of google search results.

For something more in-depth, besides the Rails Guides that have been mentioned already, you could also use the Rails API docs as a reference.

Yeah visit guides.rubyonrails.org if you want to see how to do a particular thing like validations and stuff and use this website https://api.rubyonrails.org/ for seeing method definitions their options etc.. These two websites pretty much conver everything. I specially use the second on pretty frequently. Also I think sublime text is better for ruby on rails than vs code but thats personal preference. The ruby doc website is pretty good to for documentation on rubies standard classes. Like if you are looking for some method to do something for a string you can just search string ruby and this comes up first, it contains all public methods for these classes and is pretty useful.

If you mean the Rails API Documentation, I mainly use it when I use a method I'm not familiar with (eg trying to adapt a StackOverflow suggestion).
