 Project Readme

This is a new Shared Collection (integration settgings) to be use in Cenit, named cenit-collection-foo.

Cenit is an open source social platform as a service for data and business integration.

CenitCollectionFoo

You'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Collection library into a gem. To experiment with that collection use rake console for an interactive prompt.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'cenit-collection-foo'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install cenit-collection-foo

Hello, rake tasks

Beyond just editing source code, you'll be interacting with your gem using rake a lot. To see all the tasks available with a brief description, you can run:

$ rake -T

You'll need a version before you can start installing your gem locally. The easiest way is with the version:write Rake task. Let's imagine you start with 0.1.0

$ rake version:write MAJOR=0 MINOR=1 PATCH=0

You can now go forth and develop, now that there's an initial version defined. Eventually, you should install and test the gem:

$ rake install

The install rake task builds the gem and gem installs it. You're all set if you're using RVM, but you may need to run it with sudo if you have a system-installed ruby:

$ sudo rake install

Create Git and Github repos

$ rake create_git_and_github_repo

Releasing

At last, it's time to ship it! Make sure you have everything committed and pushed, then go wild:

$ rake release

This will automatically:

  • Generate hello-gem.gemspec and commit it
  • Use git to tag v0.1.0 and push it
  • Build hello-gem-0.1.0.gem and push it to rubygems.org

rake release accepts REMOTE(default: origin), LOCAL_BRANCH(default: master), REMOTE_BRANCH(default: master) and BRANCH(default: master)as options.

$ rake release REMOTE=upstream LOCAL_BRANCH=critical-security-fix REMOTE_BRANCH=v3

This will tag and push the commits on your local branch named critical-security-fix to branch named v3 in remote named upstream (if you have commit rights on upstream) and release the gem.

$ rake release BRANCH=v3

If both remote and local branches are the same, use BRANCH option to simplify. This will tag and push the commits on your local branch named v3 to branch named v3 in remote named origin (if you have commit rights on origin) and release the gem.

Version bumping

It feels good to release code. Do it, do it often. But before that, bump the version. Then release it. There's a few ways to update the version:

# version:write like before
$ rake version:write MAJOR=0 MINOR=3 PATCH=0

# bump just major, ie 0.1.0 -> 1.0.0
$ rake version:bump:major

# bump just minor, ie 0.1.0 -> 0.2.0
$ rake version:bump:minor

# bump just patch, ie 0.1.0 -> 0.1.1
$ rake version:bump:patch

Then it's the same release we used before:

$ rake release

Customizing your gem

If you've been following along so far, your gem is just a blank slate. You're going to need to make it colorful and full of metadata.

You can customize your gem by updating your Rakefile. With a newly generated project, it will look something like this:

require 'jeweler'
Jeweler::Tasks.new do |gem|
  # gem is a Gem::Specification... see http://guides.rubygems.org/specification-reference/ for more options
  gem.name = "whatwhatwhat"
  gem.summary = %Q{TODO: one-line summary of your gem}
  gem.description = %Q{TODO: longer description of your gem}
  gem.email = "josh@technicalpickles.com"
  gem.homepage = "http://github.com/technicalpickles/whatwhatwhat"
  gem.authors = ["Joshua Nichols"]
end
Jeweler::RubygemsDotOrgTasks.new

It's crucial to understand the gem object is just a Gem::Specification. You can read up about it at guides.rubygems.org/specification-reference. This is the most basic way of specifying a gem, Jeweler-managed or not. Jeweler just exposes this to you, in addition to providing some reasonable defaults, which we'll explore now.

Project information

gem.name = "whatwhatwhat"

Every gem has a name. Among other things, the gem name is how you are able to gem install it. Reference

gem.summary = %Q{TODO: one-line summary of your gem}

This is a one line summary of your gem. This is displayed, for example, when you use gem list --details or view it on rubygems.org.

gem.description = %Q{TODO: longer description of your gem}

Description is a longer description. Scholars ascertain that knowledge of where the description is used was lost centuries ago.

gem.email = "josh@technicalpickles.com"

This should be a way to get a hold of you regarding the gem.

gem.homepage = "http://github.com/technicalpickles/whatwhatwhat"

The homepage should have more information about your gem. The jeweler generator guesses this based on the assumption your code lives on GitHub, using your Git configuration to find your GitHub username. This is displayed by gem list --details and on rubygems.org.

gem.authors = ["Joshua Nichols"]

Hey, this is you, the author (or me in this case). The jeweler generator also guesses this from your Git configuration. This is displayed by gem list --details and on rubygems.org.

Files

The quickest way to add more files is to git add them. Jeweler uses your Git repository to populate your gem's files by including added and committed and excluding .gitignored. In most cases, this is reasonable enough.

If you need to tweak the files, that's cool. Jeweler populates gem.files as a Rake::FileList. It's like a normal array, except you can include and exclude file globs:

gem.files.exclude 'tmp' # exclude temporary directory
gem.files.include 'lib/foo/bar.rb' # explicitly include lib/foo/bar.rb

If that's not enough, you can just set gem.files outright

gem.files = Dir.glob('lib/**/*.rb')

Dependencies

Dependencies let you define other gems that your gem needs to function. gem install your-gem will install your-gem's dependencies along with it, and when you use your-gem in an application, the dependencies will be made available. Use gem.add_dependency to register them. Reference

gem.add_dependency 'nokogiri'

This will ensure a version of nokogiri is installed, but it doesn't require anything more than that. You can provide extra args to be more specific:

gem.add_dependency 'nokogiri', '= 1.2.1' # exactly version 1.2.1
gem.add_dependency 'nokogiri', '>= 1.2.1' # greater than or equal to 1.2.1, ie, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.3.0, 2.0.0, etc
gem.add_dependency 'nokogiri', '>= 1.2.1', '< 1.3.0' # greater than or equal to 1.2.1, but less than 1.3.0
gem.add_dependency 'nokogiri', '~> 1.2.1' # same thing, but more concise

When specifying which version is required, there's a bit of the condunrum. You want to allow the most versions possible, but you want to be sure they are compatible. Using >= 1.2.1 is fine most of the time, except until the point that 2.0.0 comes out and totally breaks backwards the API. That's when it's good to use ~> 1.2.1, which requires any version in the 1.2 family, starting with 1.2.1.

Executables

Executables let your gem install shell commands. Just put any executable scripts in the bin/ directory, make sure they are added using git, and Jeweler will take care of the rest.

When you need more finely grained control over it, you can set it yourself:

gem.executables = ['foo'] # note, it's the file name relative to `bin/`, not the project root

Versioning

We discussed earlier how to bump the version. The rake tasks are really just convience methods for manipulating the VERSION file. It just contains a version string, like 1.2.3.

VERSION is a convention used by Jeweler, and is used to populate gem.version. You can actually set this yourself, and Jeweler won't try to override it:

gem.version = '1.2.3'

A common pattern is to have this in a version constant in your library. This is convenient, because users of the library can query the version they are using at runtime.

# in lib/foo/version.rb
class Foo
  module Version
    MAJOR = 1
    MINOR = 2
    PATCH = 3
    BUILD = 'pre3'

    STRING = [MAJOR, MINOR, PATCH, BUILD].compact.join('.')
  end
end

# in Rakefile
require 'jeweler'
require './lib/foo/version.rb'
Jeweler::Tasks.new do |gem|
  # snip
  gem.version = Foo::Version::STRING
end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, 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 to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Cenit

Cenit is an open source social platform as a service for data and business integration.

What is

Cenit is a social platform as a service for data and business integration. It makes possible the automation of all operational processes, connecting legacy apps and internet services.

Why were doing this

A common story for companies is the blending of solutions around its core business value. Features developed by them, third-party's adaptations and other SaaS to facilitate operations.

Once grown enough a new expansion requires a huge integration effort. But available integration solutions are heavy process. Some of them also need B2B transactions using complex EDI standards required for large companies or business sectors.

This facts overkill many companies that can’t overcome these challenges.

General Feature

  • 100% Open Source platform as a service (Open-PaaS).
  • Hub with a great design that provides powerful yet simple abstractions, making a complex problem tractable.
  • Primary concepts are: Data Type, Webhook, Flow, Event, Connection and Transform.
  • Dynamic load schemas: XSD, JSON and EDI grammars.
  • Powerful transform to translates and modified any formats to any format.
  • Full Stack HTTP API and incremental API's helper libraries in several languages.
  • Export and import integration settings (collections), and automatically saves its as a repo on github.
  • Social networking features to share collections.

Shared Collections

There are now over 25 pre-built shared integration collections out the box for connecting to internet services, fulfilment solutions, accounting, communications, ERP, multi-channels, etc.
