Powerpack
Powerpack offers some useful extensions to the standard Ruby classes
(kind of like ActiveSupport, but less ambitious and more modular).
The project has several design goals:
- minimalistic - we don't add every possible extensions, we focus only on the stuff that are commonly requested and would be often useful in practice
- modular - all extensions can be loaded individually (often they are just individual methods)
- safe - you can't end up accidentally overriding some existing method definition with Powerpack's extensions
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile (if you're using bundler, that is):
gem 'powerpack'
