Stubber
Stubber is a simple gem that lets you stub strings, using "words" as the unit of measure. For example:
require 'stubber'
require 'lorem' # Or just add your own text
str = Lorem::Base.new('paragraphs', 1).output
# => "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Vivamus vitae risus vitae lorem iaculis placerat."
# Get the first 5 words
str.stub_words(5)
# => "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"
# Get the NEXT 5 words
str.stub_words(5, true)
# => ", consectetuer adipiscing elit. Vivamus vitae"
# Grab the _complete_ words, appearing _up to_ position 70
str.stub_to(70)
# => "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Vivamus "
str.stub_to(70).size
# => 66
# Grab the _complete_ words, appearing _through_ position 70
str.stub_thru(70)
# => "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Vivamus vitae"
str.stub_thru(70).size
# => 71
Now the other direction!
str.stub_words(-5)
# => "risus vitae lorem iaculis placerat."
str.stub_words(-5, true)
# => "consectetuer adipiscing elit. Vivamus vitae "
str.stub_to(-45)
# => " vitae risus vitae lorem iaculis placerat."
str.stub_to(-45).size
# => 42
So far, so good! Suggestions are welcome.
TODO
- stubbing from the right direction is simple to do and will be the next addition.
- ^ done, needs specs
- left and right indexes
