Pretty sure the documentation used to include a nicely generated list of all the base library modules, but now this site just contains a link to the code. Where did the list of generated module docs go?
I can still find the individual module docs by searching for the module, for example HashMap, but where did the list of all the modules go? That was useful for discovery of and quick reference to the base modules.
The Motoko base library documentation is automatically generated from the source but incorporated into the SDK website so that it is part of the Search index. Previously, the navigation for this section was manually hand-coded, though, which meant it could easily get out of sync as new modules are added or consolidated.
In updating the site to provide more modular navigation, we removed the manually generated navigation.
The good news is that we now have the list of modules for navigation automatically generated, so I can add it back into the main left navigation bar.
The switch to the auto-generated navigation is now live.
Thanks for your patience (and kudos for noticing for quickly!) as we iterate to improve the doc available and your overall dev experience.
Feel free to reach out with comments and suggestions any time!

It disappeared last year, which prompted me to start this forum thread last February. It came back later that month, but seems to be gone once again. I used this reference extensively while learning Motoko; it would be very helpful if it would return once again.
It’s still there. But I think the table of contents got corrupted which makes it harder to find. Look at the second occurrence of “Motoko Base Library” further down and expand the drop-down. There you see all modules.
Interesting. If you click the text “Motoko Base Library” (the second time it appears), it behaves as though you clicked the first “Motoko Base Library” (under Developer Docs) and just brings you up to that entry. To see the index of modules, you have to click the little “>” chevron instead of the text. Hard to find, but at least it’s all still there!
