Guerrilla Patch

I am tired of hunting and tracking down my own monkey patches. Not to mention hassle of dragging them between projects. I figured gem is a remedy for this.

Short onliners method definition

Support for defining one liners with more succinct syntax (let, let_self)

def right?
  @right ? "YES" : "NO"
end

Instead of ugly

def right?() @right ? "YES" : "NO" end

Becomes beautiful

let(:right?) { @right ? "YES" : "NO" }

The only sweet spot for this that I could find are really simple and short methods.

Complex string expressions concatenation

Support for combining complex string expressions (not for the performance, but for the looks)

def mark
  year_of_manufacure <<
  city.blank? '' : city.address <<
  person.blank? '' : person.name[2..4]
end

You can write like this

def mark
  consists_of do |r|
    r.add year_of_manufacure
    r.when_present(city) { |c| c.address }
    r.when_present(person) { |p| p.name[2..4] }
  end
end

Somehow for my convoluted brain the later reads better.

Contributing to guerrilla_patch

  • Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
  • Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
  • Fork the project
  • Start a feature/bugfix branch
  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
  • Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
