Takes nice Ruby parameter hashes and spits out whatever crap you need it to. A simple way to provide a custom Ruby interface for the request side of an API wrapper. Based on @mislav’s nibbler.

Installation

gem install spitter

Example Usage

Transform Key

class ApiClient < Spitter
  parameter :ruby_param => 'apiCamelCaseDataFlag'

$ ApiClient.parse(:purchasable => '1')
=> {'apiCamelCaseDataFlag' => '1'}

class ApiClient < Spitter
  parameter :ruby_param => 'apiCamelCaseDataFlag', :with => lambda {|v| v ? '1' : '0'}
end

$ ApiClient.parse(:purchasable => true)
=> {'apiCamelCaseDataFlag' => '1'}

Transform Value with Class

class ApiClient < Spitter
  class TrueOrFalse
    def self.parse(val)
      val ? '1' : '0'
    end
  end

  parameter :ruby_param => 'apiCamelCaseDataFlag', :with => TrueOrFalse
end

$ ApiClient.parse(:purchasable => true)
=> {'apiCamelCaseDataFlag' => '1'}

Transform Value Only

class ApiClient < Spitter
