RubyOnAsteroids

A gem with useful tools to expand Ruby language and make it more powerful

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ruby_on_asteroids'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ruby_on_asteroids

Available enhancements

String

  • but_last: Return a copy of the string without the last # of characters requested.

Usage

The gem is designed to provide only the enhancements you ask for, that means by default we won't auto-load classes that are not needed, nor apply enhancements you didn't ask for.

To enable enhancements you need to first load the gem:

require "ruby_on_asteroids"

and then enable the enhancements you want

RubyOnAsteroids.enhance_strings

Tip: If you use pry gem as a Ruby REPL you can enable the enhancements in your .pryrc file in your home directory to benefit from the enhancements during your REPL sessions even if the gem is not installed in your project.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
