Local Resource

Rails engine to treat external resources as if they were local.

Add to your Gemfile:

gem "local_resource"

bundle install

instance = LocalResource::Instance.new("http://lorempixel.com/400/200", "my-photo.jpeg")
instance.file # it downloads the photo from lorempixel.com to the tmp file.
instance.file_path # it shows the local path of your downloaded image.
instance.destroy # it removes the photo from the /tmp directory.

LocalResource.as_local_resource("http://lorempixel.com/400/200", "my-photo.jpeg") do |tmp_file_path|
  # some code needing the local file.
end

The previous code...

• It downloads the photo from lorempixel.com to the tmp file.
• It executes custom code that needs the local file.
• It removes the tmp file from tmp.

To run the specs you need to execute, in the root path of the gem, the following command:

bundle exec guard

You need to put all your tests in the /local_resource/spec/dummy/spec/ directory.

On master/main branch...
