Warpera

A gem that makes working with years in different eras palatable

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'warpera'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install warpera

Usage

Require the gem in your files with:

require 'warpera'

When working directly with the numbers and strings, use the conv_s and conv_i methods.

When needing control over the year and era, use the Warpera::Pair class. This is helpful, for instance, dealing with storing a year in a database. Instead of potentially storing two fields for one attribute, use this to store one field for the one attribute.

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.
