Writer

This gem adds a command line utility that writes a new file named after today's for you.

It's useful for keeping a private diary or writing a daily log for your job.

Yes, but with this gem you can simply type wr and it defaults to a markdown file named after today's date.

Create a bundler Gemfile and add this:

gem 'writer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install writer

$ wr
#=> Creates a MarkDown file named after today's date
## e.g. `2012-01Jan-03.md`

$ wr hello
#=> Creates a file named `hello`

$ wr hello world
#=> Creates a file named `hello` with the content `world`

$ irb
> require 'writer'
#=> true
> wr 'hello.txt', 'world'
#=>""
> File.open('hello.txt').read
#=> "world\n"

The Writer will copy a template file's contents into your new file if you configure the template file's path.

Add config/writer.yml to the root directory of your project or journal

Create a file named whatever you want, the example uses .template in the project root

template_path: .template

# in config/writer.yml

# default config:
namer:         'Writer::FileNamer'
creator:       'Writer::FileCreator'
logger:        'Writer::Logger'
date_format:   '%Y-%m%b-%d'
log_level:     2 # 0 - err, 1 - warn, 2 - info, 3 - debug
template_path: ''

git clone git@github.com:you/writer.git
cd writer
./bin/setup
