Descrizione

What language does this apply to? Ruby

Describe the problem you are trying to solve.

Currently, languages like Golang provide full documentation on fields and methods for Protobuf objects:

The Ruby documentation https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/google-protobuf is extremely bare-bones and doesn't include any of the C-generated methods - there isn't even an entry for the Message class.

Describe the solution you'd like

I can definitely help with generating documentation via YARD comments. YARD allows you to make "fake" methods so it shouldn't affect the C-generated methods. There are other options of course, but that might be the one with the least lift.

Is this something that the team would be interested in accepting?
