TerminalCalendar

A ruby calendar and day picker for the terminal

Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add terminal_calendar

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install terminal_calendar

Usage

terminal_calendar can be used to render a calendar page similar to the linux tool cal:

require 'terminal_calendar'
# this will render a calendar for the current month to the comma(nd line
puts TerminalCalendar.cal

terminal_calendar can also be used as a date picker to select days from a calendar:

In the above GIF, the following code allows dates to be picked:

require 'terminal_calendar'

dates = TerminalCalendar.date_picker

# where dates is an Array of Date objects

When the calendar pops up the cursor is navigated with standard error keys, Tab toggles a day as selected, and Enter will end the picking session

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.
