event.db

event.db schema 'n' models for easy (re)use

NOTE: Command Line Tools - rubyconf, kickoff, beerfest - Now in whatson Package

The "out-of-the-box" ready-to-use command line tools (that is, rubyconf, kickoff, beerfest, etc.) for listing upcoming events (ruby conferences, football tournaments, beer festivals, etc.) moved to its own package / library, that is, whatson. See the whatson project for more »

Usage

require 'eventdb'

## Step 1 - Setup (In-Memory) Database and Read-in / Fetch Events

url = "https://github.com/planetruby/calendar/raw/master/_data/conferences2023.yml"

db = EventDb::Memory.new    # note: use in-memory SQLite database
db.read( url )


## Step 2 - Print Out Ongoing and Upcoming Events

today = Date.today

puts 'Upcoming Ruby Conferences:'
puts ''

on = EventDb::Model::Event.live( today )
on.each do |e|
  puts "  NOW ON #{cur_day(today)}d   #{e.title}, #{e.date_fmt} (#{e.days}d) @ #{e.place}"
end

puts '' if on.any?

up = EventDb::Model::Event.limit( 17 ).upcoming( today )
up.each do |e|
  puts "  in #{diff_days(today)}d  #{e.title}, #{e.date_fmt} (#{e.days}d) @ #{e.place}"
end
