Where is the reference documentation

See original GitHub issue

Description

I can’t find any reference documentation for window.paypal anywhere?!

Obviously this link is in the README https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/ however it’s not really documentation. It’s just a quick start + guides. Even the “reference” section isn’t reference documentation (with the exception for customizing the sdk).

Surely there must be detailed reference documentation for the API exposed on window.paypal somewhere? I currently find myself discovering new APIs by digging through the source code and GitHub issues in this repo.

It appears to be the same story for the Checkout NodeJS SDK.

2020/02/06, a new challenger gets in the ring, fists up, ready to code his PayPal checkout with a good jab, but he would soon learn that PayPal-land is hostile and that all that he previously learned will not help him there. He would have to learn everything without a proper doc.

No, but for real this is a rollercoaster.
