Slothify

Slothify is a little refinement to ruby's String class that lets you express yourself a little slowerrrr.

Add it to your project's Gemfile:

gem 'slothify'

And execute:

$ bundle

OR

Install the gem locally:

$ gem install slothify

Unlike direct monkey patches, Ruby refinements allow you to redefine or add functionality to existing classes locally, without the risk of changing things on a global scope.

To activate a refinement, you need to add the using Slothify syntax at the top of your file, class or module.

require 'slothify'

module YourModule
using Slothify
	puts "Hello, fast world!".slothify
	# => "Helloooo, fastttt worldddd!"

	puts "Oh, hai.".slothify(10)
	# => "Ohhhhhhhhhhh, haiiiiiiiiiii."
end

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test 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.
