Paradocs: Extended Parametric gem + Documentation Generation

Declaratively define data schemas in your Ruby objects, and use them to whitelist, validate or transform inputs to your programs.

Useful for building self-documeting APIs, search or form objects. Or possibly as an alternative to Rails' strong parameters (it has no dependencies on Rails and can be used stand-alone).

Installation

$ gem install paradocs

Or with Bundler in your Gemfile.

gem 'paradocs'

Getting Started

Define a schema

schema = Paradocs::Schema.new do
  field(:title).type(:string).present
  field(:status).options(["draft", "published"]).default("draft")
  field(:tags).type(:array)
end

Populate and use. Missing keys return defaults, if provided.

form = schema.resolve(title: "A new blog post", tags: ["tech"])

form.output # => {title: "A new blog post", tags: ["tech"], status: "draft"}
form.errors # => {}
