Google Cloud Function Library: Automated Documentation Frustration
Automated documentation within the Google Cloud Functions library, particularly for JavaScript, falls short in providing meaningful comments and descriptions. Examples like 'get operation request name' for a property named 'name' are unhelpful. The descriptions for methods also lack depth, with basic descriptions like 'promise' or generic explanations. The auto-generated code examples lack detail on how to structure requests, leaving users to navigate poorly documented examples.
