Manual

Automatic controller documentation using rspec

  • No specific DSL
  • No bloated controllers
  • Always in sync with the tests
  • Generates documentation in JSON and HTML for distribution

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'manual'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install manual

Usage

RSpec.configure do |config|
  Manual::Generator.setup(config)
end

# use `manual: :record` to add the example to the generated manual
RSpec.describe Api::V1::SessionsController, type: :controller do
  describe "#create" do
    it "responds with a 200 OK", manual: :record do
      user = FactoryBot.create(:user)

      post :create, params: { email: user.email, password: user.password }

      expect(response.status).to eq(200)
    end
  end
end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
