readability

The readability gem makes it easy to run Arc90’s Readability script in Ruby using Nokogiri and Harmony. Harmony uses Johnson to run env.js in Ruby.

Example:

require 'rubygems'
require 'readability'
require 'open-uri'

# load document with Nokogiri
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open('http://ajaxian.com/archives/johnson-wrapping-javascript-in-a-loving-ruby-embrace-and-arax'))

# set Readability parameters
doc.read_style = Readability::Style::NEWSPAPER
doc.read_size = Readability::Size::MEDIUM
doc.read_margin = Readability::Margin::MEDIUM

# Print result after Readability has been run
puts doc.to_readable

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 LICENSE. (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.
