Processable

Ruby gem to help you organize any process into series of steps.

class PrintGithubRepos < Processable
  step :get_repos do
    github_client.where('rails', per_page: 100)
  end

  step :get_only_essential_fields do |repos_json|
    repos_json.except(:title, :description)
  end

  step :print_to_console do |repos_json|
    print repos_json
  end
end

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'processable'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install processable

Usage

Define new class with required behavior

class SiteScrapper < Processable
end

Add steps to the process

Each step accepts three optional paramaters: [result from_previous step, current_step, all_steps]. Each step has some result as we usually do it you can either call return explicitly or last line will be accepted as result of the step.

require 'net/http'

class SiteScrapper < Processable
  step :get_web_pages do
    Net::HTTP.get('example.com', '/index.html')    
  end

  step :save_to_database do |web_page|
    DB.save(web_page)
  end
end

Add steps to the process

To start the process simply call...
