Everything

For familiarity with a everything repository, see the intro.

The piece is the most important concept of everything. This is the core for everything, and other pieces will be components you can add into it.

Must define these environment variables:

• EVERYTHING_PATH - the full path to your everything repo.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'everything-core', require: 'everything'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install everything-core

You can require it yourself in your code:

require 'everything'

Or, if you use Bundler and list the gem in your Gemfile, you can require all the gems from your Gemfile:

require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
Bundler.require(:default)

This assumes you have a EVERYTHING_PATH environment variable either set in your shell or in dotenv's .env file.

For example, let's assume you have the following folder and file under your everything path

your-piece-here/index.md

# Your Piece Here

The rest of the body of your file...

To use the piece from IRB, you could do the following to get the piece's title and content.

require 'everything'

piece_path = Everything.path.join('your-piece-here')
piece      = Everything::Piece.new(piece_path)

piece.name          # => 'your-piece-here'
piece.title         # => "Your Piece Here"
piece.body          # => "The rest of the body of your file...\n\n"
piece['categories'] # Returns the value for the `categories` metadata key
piece.public?       # Convience method to return the value for the boolean `public` metadata key
piece.content       # Return an instance of the piece's content
piece.metadata      # Return an instance of the piece's metadata

You can also edit a piece's content and metadata

piece.raw_markdown = some_markdown # Sets the raw_markdown on the piece's content
piece.raw_yaml     = some_yaml     # Sets the raw_yaml on the piece's metadata
piece.save                         # Save the piece's content and metadata to disk

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 rake install.

To release a new version,

• check out a new branch
• make your code changes
• update the version number in lib/everything/version.rb
• update the CHANGELOG.md with what changed.
• commit your code changes
• push new branch to github with git push -u origin HEAD
• create a new PR for this
• merge in PR to master
• locally, check out master again
• git pull
• create a build with rake build
• run rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
