tapioca | The swiss army knife of RBI generation | Application Framework library

tapioca is a Ruby library typically used in Server, Application Framework, Ruby On Rails applications. tapioca has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has medium support. You can download it from GitHub.

Tapioca is a library used to generate RBI (Ruby interface) files for use with Sorbet. RBI files provide the structure (classes, modules, methods, parameters) of the gem/library to Sorbet to assist with typechecking. As yet, no gem exports type information in a consumable format and it would be a huge effort to manually maintain such an interface file for all the gems that your codebase depends on. Thus, there is a need for an automated way to generate the appropriate RBI file for a given gem. The tapioca gem, developed at Shopify, is able to do exactly that to almost 99% accuracy. It can generate the definitions for all statically defined types and most of the runtime defined types exported from Ruby gems (non-Ruby gems are not handled yet). When you run tapioca gem in a project, tapioca loads all the gems that are in your dependency list from the Gemfile into memory. It then performs runtime introspection on the loaded types to understand their structure and generates an appropriate RBI file for each gem with a versioned filename.
