Sswars

This gem is a simple Star Wars name progeram. It grabs the names of Star Wars characters and planets from the public Star Wars api site: http://swapi.co

It only has two public calls

• find_people(#)
• find_planet(#)

If there is no planet or person with that number an empty hash is returned.

1. First run the command: bundle gem sswars
2. Change into that directory
3. Edit the file sswars.gemspec with appropriate information.
4. Edit the file lib/sswars.rb with the Ruby code to do the work.

• The module name should be: module Sswars
• Include gem "httparty"
• Create two methods: find_person() and find_planet

5. Test execution in IRB.

• In IRB run: require_relative 'lib/sswars' - should return true.
• In IRB test by running: Sswars.find_people(2) - should return => "C-3PO"
• In IRB test by running: Sswars.find_planet(42) - should return => "Haruun Kal"

6. Create local git repo and commit. Push to Github.

• Github: git@github.com:rvrichards/sswars.git

7. Create gem, run:

• bundle
• gem build sswars.gemspec

8. Install gem locally and test

• To install: gem install ./sswars-0.1.0.gem
• In IRB you only have to type: require sswars

9. Now push to RubyGem.org

• First: Setup account on your machine
• curl -u rvrichards https://rubygems.org/api/v1/api_key.yaml > ~/.gem/credentials; chmod 0600 ~/.gem/credentials
• Lastly: Push out gem
• gem push sswars-0.1.0.gem

10. Profit!

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sswars'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sswars

This was just for fun & learning.

None planned now.
