Profession

Simple gem with a list of professions (over 1000), for matching and parsing professions in a large body of text. For instance this was helpful for parsing out Wikipedia articles for a little school project for my kids.

Please fill free to add more professions to the list, just send a simple PR. Thank you!

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'profession'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install profession

  # Return a sorted unique list of all professions
  Profession::Profession.list


  # Check if your value is in the list, and has an exact match
  Profession::Profession.contains_exact?('Zoo Keeper')

  # Return exact match
  Profession::Profession.exact_match('Zoo Keeper')

  # Do a fuzzy match
  Profession::Profession.match('Keeper')

  #   [
  #     [0] "Book-keeper",
  #     [1] "Gamekeeper",
  #     [2] "Gate Keeper",
  #     [3] "Green Keeper",
  #     [4] "Housekeeper",
  #     [5] "Lighthouse Keeper",
  #     [6] "Lock Keeper",
  #     [7] "Park Keeper",
  #     [8] "Shop Keeper",
  #     [9] "Zoo Keeper"
  # ]

Matching is NOT case-sensitive and will also strip extra spaces when comparing.
