Hi all…

I’m new to Ruby, coming from PHP.

Does Ruby (on Rails?) has any function library like [php.net](http://php.net)?

If has, is this the [api.rubyonrails.com](http://api.rubyonrails.com) ?

TIA

Yes, and also you will want to look at the ruby docs:

> **[Ruby-Doc.org: Documenting the Ruby Language](https://ruby-doc.org/)**
>
> Fast, searchable Ruby documentation for core and standard libraries. Plus, links to tutorials, guides, books, and related sites.
