Collection API

A Ruby API for the Unveil.js collection interface. Useful for exporting all kinds of data in a uniform Collection format.

Usage

c = Collection.new
c.property(:customer, {:name => "Customer", :type => String, :unique => true })
c.property(:product,  {:name => "Product", :type => String, :unique => true })
c.property(:quantity, {:name => "Salesman", :type => Numeric, :unique => true })
c.property(:price,    {:name => "Price", :type => Numeric, :unique => true })

c.add("IO47181", {
  :customer => "John Smith",
  :product  => "XT52",
  :quantity => 21,
  :price    => 231.5
})

c.to_json => A JSON string that conforms to an Unveil.js Collection
c.to_csv => Plain old CSV representation, if your clients can't get around Excel :/

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.
  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.
  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
