In the past I used railsbrain.com to have a nice and handy offline api documentation.

But they stop at version 2.3.2

Is there any other solution with latest version.

    Browser-based Solution – Updated Oct 19, 2017

    DevDocs (https://devdocs.io/) uses your browser’s IndexedDB to store the documentation you want. Make sure you follow the instructions on how to install the docs before you go offline.

    For macOS try Dash

    For Windows/Linux try Zeal

    For packaged HTML try RubyDocs

    Manual Download:

    I used this commands on my server so I could get the files faster (they were cached, go figure).

    wget -r -k -p http://api.rubyonrails.org/

    • r – recursive
    • k – convert links to point to local files
    • p – get all
      images, etc needed to display the html pages

    Then I compress the folder so I can download it without overhead.

    rar a -r rails_api.rar api.rubyonrails.org/

    • a – add files
    • r – recursive

    YARD Server

    I prefer the yard format over rdoc.

    1. Install the gem gem install yard,
    2. Regenerate all the documentation gem rdoc --all --overwrite, and
    3. Run the server for the gems yard server --gems.
