Gemer

A lightweight gem designed to provide tools for Ruby modules and gems

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gemer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gemer

Usage

Configuration

Any module can be made configurable with gemer with simple module extension:

module MyModule
  include Gemer::Configurable

  # Default configuration values
  configure_defaults do |c|
    c.attr :force, false       # creates new configurable attribute with a default value
    c.attr :namespace          # creates a configurable attribute that is nil

    c.attr :engine, :rails, in: [:rails, :sinatra] # restrict the possible values for an attribute

    c.read_only :secret, 'foo' # creates a readonly attribute
  end
end

This will will make MyModule configurable:

MyModule.configure do |c|
  c.force = true
  c.namespace = 'MYAPP'
  c.engine = :sinatra

  # c.engine = :foo   <= raises an error (not in possible values)
  # c.secret = 'bar'  <= raises an error (can't modify read-only attribute)
end

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.
