Warpera
A gem that makes working with years in different eras palatable
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'warpera'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install warpera
Usage
Require the gem in your files with:
require 'warpera'
When working directly with the numbers and strings, use the conv_s
and
conv_i
methods.
When needing control over the year and era, use the Warpera::Pair
class. This
is helpful, for instance, dealing with storing a year in a database. Instead of
potentially storing two fields for one attribute, use this to store one field
for the one attribute.
Development
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.
