Scam
Really basic model-ish thing for creating different types in your application easily.
I use this whenever I want something to do psuedo belongs to/has many relationships, but do not want to back a model with a database as the data does not change often, if ever.
Usage
Just create a class and include scam.
class FeedTemplate
include Scam
attr_accessor :title, :icon, :instructions, :template, :format, :label
def (value)
url = template.gsub('{value}', URI.escape(value))
url = "http://#{url}" if url !~ /https?\:\/\//
url
end
def parse(body)
case format
when 'json'
ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(body)
when 'feed'
Feedzirra::Feed.parse(body).to_hash
end
end
end
FeedTemplate.create({
:id => 1,
:title => 'Twitter',
:label => 'Twitter Username',
:icon => 'twitter',
:instructions => 'Enter your Twitter username',
:format => 'json',
:template => 'http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/{value}.json',
})
Attributes are just defined using attr_accessor. :id is added when you include Scam.
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 history. (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.
