Rails Type Definitions

[ybiquitous]

Is Rails type definitions planed to add?

For example:

• ActiveRecord
• ActionController
• and so on...

If these types will be pre-defined, I predict Steep's users will increase.
Because defining these types is very hard task. 😓

I would be glad if we could discuss about this theme! 😄

I would like to have that in another gem, maybe steep-types-rails or something like that.

It sounds good to me. 👍

Then, for such gems having *.rbi file(s), I think that a central repository such as TypeScript's DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped is useful for Steep contributors.

In other words, there are 2 ways:

• Gems with own *.rbi file(s). For example, strong_json gem.
• Gems without own *.rbi file(s). These *.rbi file(s) are provided in the central repository above such as DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped.

What do you think about this idea?

Now we have the repository ruby/gem_rbs for 3rd-party type definitions.

So, I think this issue should be closed. (feel free to open if you need it still)
