CaveatPatchKids

CaveatPatchKids is a tool for generating caveatPatchor.js files and for easily sharing snippets for use in Propane.

Installation

Install in the usual way:

$ gem install caveat_patch_kids

Usage

To start, plant a caveat patch:

$ caveat-patch-kids plant
      create  /Users/yourface/.caveat_patch_kids/caveatPatchor.js

This creates a basic caveatPatchor.js you can customize using Sprockets directories. Either drop you code at the bottom, or require scripts provided by CaveatPatchKids.

When you are happy with the code, bloom it:

$ caveat-patch-kids bloom
       bloom  /Users/yourface/Library/Application Support/Propane/unsupported/caveatPatchor.js 

Now you can quit Propane, and launch it again. Hopefully nothing breaks...

If something does break, and you really need to get back into Propane, you can till:

$ caveat-patch-kids till
      remove  /Users/technicalpickles/Library/Application Support/Propane/unsupported/caveatPatchor.js

Scripts

These scripts are provided by CaveatPatchKids. Include them by updating ~/.caveat_patch_kids/caveatPatchor.js like:

//= require caveat_patch_kids/the_script

• caveat_patch_kids/display_avatars: display a Gravatar next to a user's name
• caveat_patch_kids/display_cloudapp_images: display CloudApp images inline
• caveat_patch_kids/display_librato: adjust librato graph links to embed a live version of the graph
• caveat_patch_kids/display_scout: display Scout graph links as embeded graphs
• caveat_patch_kids/embiggen_message_history: increase message history
• caveat_patch_kids/stylize_diffs: colorize diffs with red/green
• caveat_patch_kids/stylize_nagios: colorize nagios alerts
• caveat_patch_kids/link_to_rdio_app: update Rdio links to go to the Rdio app, instead of a browser

The original caveatPatchor.js had a lot of mysterious and odd things. Those weren't included by default, but could be of use to someone, somewhere, or maybe just need some cleanup and documentation. See scripts/caveat_patch_kids/unsupported for the good.

Bundles

For convience, a full bundles with several scripts are included. Require them like any other script:

• caveat_patch_kids/bundles/all: all scripts, except ones that aren't unspoorted or require specific things on your system (ie rdio)
• caveat_patch_kids/bundles/unsupported: all scripts, even ones unsupported. you probably shouldn't do this unless you are a crazy person

Thanks

• @protocool for releasing Propane with caveatPatchor.js support
• @wfarr for convincing someone to share their caveatPatchor.js
• @sstephenson for sprockets
• @weppos for blogging about using sprockets outside of the context of a webapp
• Maybe you? If you wrote a script here, and it's uncredited, please let me know

TODO

• make it easy for other people to release their own scripts as gems, and be able to load them
• include screenshots of scripts in action
• review unsupported stuff more closely
