LiquerY

This gem was built as part of a project within the Flatiron School's curriculum. LiquerY is a CLI gem that uses a few simple algorithms alongside thecocktaildb.com's API of cocktail ingredients to help the user identify their beverage preferences and learn about new and exciting cocktails. Besides offering some basic search and sort features, LiqeurY provides the user with a quiz-style interface to narrow down their preferences amongst dozens and dozens of drinks.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'liquery'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install liquery

Usage

Running LiquerY will run an entirely self-contained CLI app. The user will begin with a quiz to identify their beverage preferences, and they will then have several options to explore the results of the quiz in more detail or to search the entire LiquerY database.

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 tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Please also note that TheCocktailDb API(https://www.thecocktaildb.com) requires an application for an API key if you intend to release a version of this app on an appstore. At present, this gem continues to use the test key of "1", as I had no intention of releasing the CLI version of this program as an appstore app.
