Roadmap

Fastball is a young, opionated project with more features under active development.

• CLI command to vendor fastball in an application so production servers do not require the fastball gem to function
• Packaging dynamic applications into a build archive with all dependencies vendored (except for the interpreter)
• Deploying build archives into a designated deployment environment

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
