localone
Local One adds Object#with and Kernel.let to help you use fewer local variables.
Wha?
%w{ doug bob }.with do |a|
assert_equal "doug and bob", a.join(' and ')
end
assert_equal 'abcdef', let(:a=>'abc', :b=>'def'){ [a, b].join }
Why is that better than assigning the variables?
Discourages redefining variables leading to a more functional style, looks kind of cool.
What does Local One mean?
Local because it deals with local variables (like you would deal with a rat problem).

Does it work on my version of Ruby?
It has been tested on 1.8.6, 1.8.7, and 1.9.1 successfully. I’m having jruby + rvm problems right now, so not sure there. Can’t get jeweler or bundler installed on macruby + jvm. Verdict: probably :)
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.
