CoreExt

Utility classes and Ruby extensions for non Rails projects.

CoreExt is a reduced fork of Rails's ActiveSupport gem, shipping only the core_ext part and its minimal dependencies. Some stufft like Autoload, Caching, Logging, Notifications and other Rails related classes are left behind. It was built with a few goals in mind:

• Pick only what you need - use (or require) only the modules or classes that you need on your project, without load (and override) the entire stack.
• Embrace the magic - Patching Ruby core classes - excuse me the purists - is more productive that using tons of utils classes spread throughtout your project. And this, ActiveSupport does well.
• Don't Repeat Yourself - Rather than always implement the same core functionality on different projects, centralize and reuse it.

If using bundler, first add 'core_ext' to your Gemfile:

gem "core_ext"

And run

bundle install

Otherwise simply

gem install core_ext

Loading all core extensions:

require "core_ext/all"

Cherry-picking only what you want:

require "core_ext/object"
require "core_ext/time"

See Rail's ActiveSupport Core Extensions documentation.
