About
Prerequisites
- Ruby 3.x
Install
Add the following line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'mso_metadata'And then execute:
bundle installOr install it yourself as:
gem install mso_metadataUsage
Reading
require 'mso_metadata'
# read local file
metadata = MsoMetadata.read('example.docx')
# metadata consists two hashes: metadata[:core] and metadata[:custom]
# custom metadata could be set with arbitrary key values. Thats why we have to split it, to prevent key value collisions.
puts metadata[:core]
puts metadata[:custom]Development
This was just a fast solution to wrap the code needed to retrieve the metadata from office files.
todo
- write some more tests, retrieve more interesting data...
- catch errors in case of corrupt files or xmls.
