The softlayer-ruby project creates a Ruby Gem which provides language bindings to the SoftLayer API for the Ruby programming language.
The heart of the project a foundation layer (represented by the Client and Service classes) that allows SoftLayer customers to make direct calls to the SoftLayer API. The Gem also builds a object heirarchy on top of that foundation which provides an abstract model which insulates scripts from direct dependency on the low-level details of the SoftLayer API.
More comprehensive documentation on using the softlayer_api Gem, and contributing to the project, may be found by cloning this project and generating the documentation.
Once you have cloned the project, from the main project directory you can generate documentation by installing the bundle and using rake:
$ cd softlayer-ruby
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake rdoc
This will create a new folder named doc inside of the project source and populate it with project documentation. You may then open the documentation file doc/index.html in your browser to begin exploring the documentation.
