📚 Searching the Rails Docs

🧭 Why This Matters

Rails is modular and consists of many gems. To understand method definitions or specific implementation details, we must know how to efficiently search through its codebase and documentation.

🔍 1. Using Rails Guides

🔗 API Guides

• Visit: https://api.rubyonrails.org
• Search for any method like valid?
• Scroll to the bottom of the doc to view:
  • 📄 Source (View inline)
  • 🔗 On GitHub (Jump to GitHub repo)

📘 Edge Guides

• Visit: https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org
• Provides deeper understanding of Rails concepts
• More detailed than API Guides

🔧 2. Inspecting Code with Pry

Step 1: Add Gem

gem "pry-byebug"

Then run:

bundle install
