Whenever you're working with a new library you may frequently come across a scenario where you:
- Have an object of a specific type that you're unsure what accepts it
- Need an object of a specific type, and you don't know what returns it
- Are looking for an example of a method that fits a certain signature
This module was created to make all of those problems easy to solve without being forced to look at documentation online.
Check out our documentation for information about how to use this project.
