GengoSearch

GengoSearch is a gem to convert Anno Domini year like 1989 to Japanese era name like HEISEI, MEIJI and so on.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gengo_search'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gengo_search

Set year(YYYY) you want to convert when create new instance. Do note that First Japanese era starts from 645. So if you choose less than 645, it returns ArgumentError.

Once an instance created, you can get Japanese era name by Kanji, Romaji, or Hiragana as below.

gengo = GengoSearch::Gengo.new(1900)
gengo.kanji      #=> "明治 33年"
gengo.romaji     #=> "MEIJI 33NEN"
gengo.hiragana   #=> "めいじ 33ねん"

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.
