Monthly Calendar Generator

This is a simple library which allows you to create monthly calendars which have space to write notes.

It allows you to create PDF files like this one.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'monthly_calendar'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install monthly_calendar

require 'monthly_calendar'

calendar = MonthlyCalendar.new(start_date: "January 2018", pages: 2)
calendar.save("calendar.pdf")

This example is the exact code which was used to generate the sample calendar. The start_date value can be any string that Date#parse can parse, and defaults to Date.today if it isn't provided. pages is probably self explanatory, but that is how many months will be generated, starting with start_date.

The API offers a #to_s method which will return the pdf as a string (using Prawn::Document#render).

The API also offers a #stream method which will yield the pdf as a string to the block you supply.

require 'monthly_calendar'

calendar = MonthlyCalendar.new(start_date: "January 2018", pages: 2)
calendar.stream do |calendar_string|
  puts calendar_string
end

# => %PDF-1.3
# => %����
# => 1 0 obj
# => << /Creator <feff0050007200610077006e>
# => /Producer <feff0050007200610077006e>
# ... 

These methods will allow you to easily do something like render the value as a response from a web server.
