Sipp

A simple wrapper to decode SIPP/ACRISS car codes.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sipp'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sipp

code = SIPP::Code.new 'CCMN'
code.to_s # "Compact - 2/4 Door - Manual Unspecified Drive - Unspecified Fuel/Power Without Air"

code.category.to_s # Compact
code.type.to_s # 2/4 Door
code.transmission_drive.to_s # Manual Unspecified Drive
code.transmission.to_s # Manual
code.drive.to_s # Unspecified Drive
code.transmission_manual? # true
code.transmission_auto? # false
code.fuel_ac.to_s # Unspecified Fuel/Power Without Air
code.fuel.to_s # Unspecified Fuel/Power
code.ac.to_s # No Air
code.ac? # false

If the code is invalid, it will return nil on all checks.

If only some of the letters are valid, it will translate them:

code = SIPP::Code.new '**DR'
code.valid? # false
code.to_s # #N/A - #N/A - Auto AWD - Unspecified Fuel/Power With Air

Calling code.validate! will throw validation errors with exceptions.

A convenient hash that lists car capabilities.

 SIPP::Code.new('CCDD').as_json
{
      category: :compact,
          type: :two_four_door,
  transmission: :auto,
         drive: :awd,
          fuel: :diesel,
            ac: :air,
          code: "CCDD"
}

NOTE: a simpler version without i18n is kept in v.1.4, you can use it as gem 'sipp', git: 'https://github.com/austerlitz/sipp.git', tag: 'v1.4'

For more flexibility methods like category, drive etc. return a simple Wrapper object to provide either symbol or an i18n-sed string. Thus, when #to_s is implied, it will return a translated message. For use in code or elsewhere, use #to_sym:

if :diesel == code.fuel.to_sym
  puts 'This car has a diesel engine'
end

This seems to be not an elegant solution. If you have any ideas on improving it, please make a pull request.

You can override existing or add your own translations an put them under the sipp scope:

ua:
  sipp:
    category:
      mini: міні
    type:
      convertible: кабріолет
    transmission:
      manual: МКПП
      auto: АКПП      

A very early beta. But beta than nothin'

It's also able to generate a SIPP code from car capabilities. The capabilities are expected in the same format as produced by #as_json. If something invalid is supplied it generates '*'.

SIPP::Inverted.generate({ category: :compact, type: :two_four_door, transmission: :manual, drive: :unspecified, fuel: :petrol, ac: :air})
# => 'CCMV'
SIPP::Inverted.generate({ category: :compact, type: :two_four_door, fuel: :petrol, ac: :air })
# => 'CC*V'

Works most similar to Inverted but produces a more consistent approach to encoding car capabilities.

Generates an Extended-SIPP code from capabilities provided and translates capabilities list into an Extended-SIPP code.

Should be tried and discussed.

Generating an e-sipp code from capabilities:

SIPP::Extended.generate({
        category:     :compact,
        type:         :two_three_door,
        transmission: :manual,
        drive:        :front,
        fuel:         :petrol,
        ac:           :air,
        doors:        2,
        seats:        2,
        bags_big:     3,
        bags_small:   4,
}) # => 'CBMFPA2234'

And capabilities from a code, just like a usual SIPP:

SIPP::Extended.new('CBMFPN2234').as_json
{
        category:     :compact,
        type:         :two_three_door,
        transmission: :manual,
        drive:        :front,
        fuel:         :petrol,
        ac:           :no_air,
        doors:        2,
        seats:        2,
        bags_big:     3,
        bags_small:   4,
}

Puts :unspecified if cannot decode a capability:

SIPP::Extended.new('CCMFDA55').as_json
{
        category:     :compact,
        type:         :two_four_door,
        transmission: :manual,
        drive:        :front,
        fuel:         :diesel,
        ac:           :air,
        doors:        5,
        seats:        5,
        bags_big:     :unspecified,
        bags_small:   :unspecified,
}

• add i18n helpers or redo strings into symbols to be i18n-sed
• add SIPP code generation from car capabilities
  • add input validation of some kind?
• add Extended SIPP codes
  • add more adequate tests
• add query methods for common checks (like .diesel? etc)
• add pseudo codes
• add van codes

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
