I'm new to both ruby and rails, coming from lots of experience with other
languages and frameworks, and I'm struck by how poor the rails source code
documentation is. For example, I'm looking
at
activerecord-3.2.13/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb,
which contains
>
> # Quotes the column value to help prevent
> # {SQL injection
> attacks}[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection].
> def quote(value, column = nil)
I understand that it's debatable whether or not an end-user should directly
use this, but my googling finds that many end users do in fact use it ...
How should I go about finding the answer to questions like "What is the
'column' argument? When might I want to use it?". I.e., I hoped the
comments near the method definition would help ... is there a Ruby Way to
answer these kinds of questions?
Assuming my complaint about the lack of documentation is legitimate, what's
being done to correct it? How can I help?
