FlickrawObjects

Use this gem as a simple way to map Flickraw results to a object-orientated "data model". Classes for People and Photos are included: These are there by way of an example. I anticipate users of this Gem will map the data they need - it's easy to do.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'flickraw_objects'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install flickraw_objects

Usage

Create an initializer where you set your Flickr credentials.

FlickrawObjects.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = "Your Api Key"
  config.shared_secret = "Shared Secret"
end

If you don't have them yet, you can apply for them here.

Example usage:

person = FlickrawObjects::Person.find_by_username "chrisfield1968"
puts "realname: #{person.realname}" # get_info api call happens automatically

puts "photos_count #{person.photos_count}"                # returns as an Integer
puts "person.first_date_taken #{person.first_date_taken}" # returns as a Date
puts "professional?: #{person.professional?}"             # returns as a true/false

person.get_photos.each_with_index do |item,i|
  puts "item #{i}: #{item.title} - #{item.url} - #{item.public?}"
end
