:gemsmith_link: link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/gemsmith[Gemsmith] :toc: macro :toclevels: 5 :figure-caption!: = Rubysmith Rubysmith is a command line interface for smithing Ruby projects. This gem is useful in situations in which you need something more sophisticated than a link:https://bundler.io/guides/bundler_in_a_single_file_ruby_script.html[Bundler Inline] script but less than a {gemsmith_link} gem. Rubysmith is the foundation of Gemsmith and provides much of the same functionality as Gemsmith but is solely tailored for pure Ruby projects. Again, this is a great tool for spiking quick Ruby implementations, sharing code snippets with others, or building full blown Ruby projects for collaboration with others. toc::[] == Features * Builds a Ruby project skeleton for custom design and development. * Uses link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/runcom[Runcom] for resource configuration management. * Uses link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/pragmater[Pragmater] for Ruby source pragma directives. * Supports link:https://github.com/amazing-print/amazing_print[Amazing Print]. * Supports link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/caliber[Caliber]. * Supports link:https://circleci.com[Circle CI]. * Supports link:https://orcid.org[Citations (ORCID)]. * Supports console script for local development. * Supports link:https://github.com/ruby/debug[Debug]. * Supports link:https://git-scm.com[Git]. * Supports link:https://github.com[GitHub]. * Supports link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/git-lint[Git Lint]. * Supports link:https://github.com/guard/guard[Guard]. * Supports link:https://github.com/ruby/rake[Rake]. * Supports link:https://github.com/troessner/reek[Reek]. * Supports link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/refinements[Refinements]. * Supports link:https://rspec.info[RSpec]. * Supports setup script for project setup. * Supports link:https://github.com/simplecov-ruby/simplecov[SimpleCov]. * Supports link:https://yardoc.org[YARD]. * Supports link:https://github.com/fxn/zeitwerk[Zeitwerk]. * Supports common settings and a structured layout for building projects. * Provides common documentation: ** README ** LICENSE ** VERSIONS ** Security ** Code of Conduct ** Contributions ** Communities == Requirements .

Default: true. .... ==== Build The core functionality of this gem centers around the `--build` command and associated options (flags). The build options allow you to further customize the kind of project you want to build. Most build options are enabled by default. Example: [source,bash] ---- rubysmith --build demo ---- Running the above will generate a new `demo` Ruby project. Should you wish to disable specific options, you can use `--no-*` prefixes. Example: [source,bash] ---- rubysmith --build demo --no-debug --no-guard ---- With the above example, both Debug and Guard support would have been disabled when building the `demo` project. Taking this a step further, you can also use the `--min` option to generate a project with bare minimum of options. Example: [source,bash] ---- rubysmith --build demo --min ---- The above is essentially the same as building with _all_ options disabled. This is handy in situations where you need to quickly script something up for sharing with others yet still want to avoid using a Bundler Inline script so gem dependencies are not installed each time the code is run. As shown earlier, you can combine options but be aware that order matters. Take the following, for example, where both minimum and maximum options are used in conjunction with other options: [source,bash] ---- rubysmith --build demo --min --zeitwerk rubysmith --build demo --max --no-debug ---- With the above examples, the first line will _disable_ all options except Zeitwerk while the second line will _enable_ all options except Debug. This can be a handy way to build a new project with all options either disabled or enabled with only a few select options modified. To have specific options enabled/disabled _every time_ you build a new Ruby project, you can edit your global configuration for making these settings permanent (see below for details). There is a lot of flexibility when building a new project through the various build options. I'll walk you through each so you can better understand why you'd want to enable or disable any one of them. ===== Amazing Print The `--amazing_print` option allows you to build your project with the link:https://github.com/amazing-print/amazing_print[Amazing Print] gem for debugging purposes and is a handy debugging tool when inspecting your Ruby objects and printing details in a quick to read format. ===== Caliber The `--caliber` option allows you to build your project with the link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/caliber[Caliber] gem so you have an immediate working -- and high quality -- link:https://docs.rubocop.org/rubocop[RuboCop] configuration. Read the Caliber documentation for further customization. ===== Circle CI The `--circle_ci` option allows you to build your project with link:https://circleci.com[Circle CI] configured so you can get your project building as quickly as possible. ===== Citation The `--citation` option allows you to add a link:https://citation-file-format.github.io[citation] file to your project so you can help the research community cite your work in their studies if your project is used. ===== Community The `--community` option allows you to link to your open source community, organization, or group chat to help with community engagement of your work. ===== Code of Conduct The `--conduct` option allows you to link to your link:https://www.contributor-covenant.org[Code of Conduct] to encourage good community participation. Regardless of whether you have a community or not, the code of conduct is good to encourage in general. ===== Console The `--console` option allows you to add a `console` script for local development. So instead of typing `irb`, you can type `bin/console` and get an IRB session with all of your project's code loaded. ===== Contributions The `--contributions` option allows you to link to contributing documentation so people know to contribute back to your work. ===== Debug The `--debug` option allows you add the link:https://github.com/ruby/debug[Debug] gem to your project for debugging your code by setting breakpoints, remotely connecting to running code, and much more. ===== Funding The `--funding` option allows you add a link:https://github.com[GitHub] funding configuration to your project so you can attract link:https://docs.github.com/en/sponsors[sponsors]. This option doesn't require use of the `--git_hub` option but is encouraged. ===== Git The `--git` option allows you add link:https://git-scm.com[Git] repository support. Includes link:https://www.alchemists.io/screencasts/git_safe[Git Safe] functionality so you don't have to prefix commands with the `bin/` path prefix. Instead, you can call the command directly (assuming you have configured your link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/dotfiles[Dotfiles] accordingly). ===== GitHub The `--git_hub` option allows you add link:https://github.com[GitHub] templates to your project for issues and pull requests. ===== GitHub CI The `--git_hub_ci` option allows you to build your project with link:https://docs.github.com/en/actions[GitHub Actions] configured so you can get your project building as quickly as possible. ===== Git Lint The `--git-lint` option allows you to add the link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/git-lint[Git Lint] gem to your project to ensure you are crafting your Git commits in a consistent and readable manner. ===== Guard The `--guard` option allows you add the link:https://github.com/guard/guard[Guard] gem to your project for rapid red, green, refactor development cycles. ===== License The `--license` option ensures you build your project with a license. ===== Maximum The `--max` option allows you to build your project with _all_ options _enabled_. This is a quick way to build a new project with all options enabled without having to pick and choose. ===== Minimum The `--min` option allows you to build your project with _all_ options _disabled_. This is a quick way to build a new project with the bare minimum of support which is a one step above reaching for a Bundler Inline script. ===== Rake The `--rake` option allows you to add the link:https://github.com/ruby/rake[Rake] gem for quickly crafting build scripts. ===== Readme The `--readme` option allows you to add README documentation to your project. ===== Reek The `--reek` option allows you add the link:https://github.com/troessner/reek[Reek] gem to your project for code smell and code quality support. ===== Refinements The `--refinements` option allows you to add the link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/refinements[Refinements] gem to your project which enhances Ruby core objects without monkey patching your code. ===== RSpec The `--rspec` option allows you add the link:https://rspec.info[RSpec] gem to your project for defining your project specifications and have a framework for testing your code. ===== Setup The `--setup` option allows you to configure you project with automated setup instructions so anyone new to your project can quickly get started by running the `bin/setup` script. ===== SimpleCov The `--simple_cov` option allows you add the link:https://github.com/simplecov-ruby/simplecov[SimpleCov] gem to your project to provide full analysis of what your quality of code is for the project. ===== Versions The `--versions` option allows you add a `VERSIONS` file to your project to provide details about all published versions of your project. ===== YARD The `--yard` option allows you add the link:https://yardoc.org/[YARD] gem to your project so you can automate the generation of project documentation. Once your project is built, you can use `rake yard` to build documentation into the `doc/yard` folder. This folder is ignored by Git by default. Additional customization is possible via the YARD Rake task as found in the `Rakefile`. ===== Zeitwerk The `--zeitwerk` option allows you add the link:https://github.com/fxn/zeitwerk[Zeitwerk] gem to your project so you can reduce the maintence burden of managing requirements when adding new objects to your project. ==== Publish Rubysmith can be used to publish your Ruby projects. This is done via the `--publish` command. If, for example, you want to publish `0.1.0` of your `demo` project you could do that as follows: [source,bash] ---- cd demo rubysmith --publish 0.1.0 ---- This will publish (tag) your `demo` project as `0.1.0` both locally and on your remote Git repository. Rubysmith uses link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/milestoner[Milestoner] to handle publishing of your project for you. You can use either but the convenience is built in for you. === Configuration This gem can be configured via a global configuration: .... $HOME/.config/rubysmith/configuration.yml .... It can also be configured via link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/xdg[XDG] environment variables. The default configuration is as follows: [source,yaml] ---- :author: :email: :family_name: :given_name: :url: :build: :amazing_print: true :caliber: true :circle_ci: false :citation: true :cli: false :community: false :conduct: true :console: true :contributions: true :debug: true :funding: false :git: true :git_hub: false :git_lint: true :guard: true :license: true :maximum: false :minimum: false :rake: true :readme: true :reek: true :refinements: true :rspec: true :security: true :setup: true :simple_cov: true :versions: true :yard: false :zeitwerk: true :citation: :affiliation: :message: Please use the following metadata when citing this project in your work. :orcid: :documentation: :format: "adoc" :extensions: :milestoner: :documentation: :format: "adoc" :prefixes: - Fixed - Added - Updated - Removed - Refactored :pragmater: :comments: - "# frozen_string_literal: true" :includes: - "**/*.rake" - "**/*.rb" - "*.gemspec" - "exe/*" - bin/console - bin/guard - bin/rubocop - config.ru - Gemfile - Guardfile - Rakefile :tocer: :includes: - "README.md" :label: "## Table of Contents" :git_hub: :user: :license: :label: Hippocratic :name: hippocratic :version: 2.1 :project: :url: :community: :conduct: :contributions: :download: :funding: :home: :issues: :license: :security: :source: :versions: :version: 0.0.0 ---- Feel free to take this default configuration, modify, and save as your own custom `configuration.yml`. By customizing your configuration, you can change Rubysmith's default behavior when building projects. This is a great way to define your own specialized settings other than what is provide for you by default. This is also a handy way to provide additional information needed for some of the build options. I'll walk you through each section of the configuration so you can learn more. ==== Author Author information is used when generating project documentation and is recommended you fill this information in before building a project. Example: :author: :email: jsmith@example.com :family_name: Smith :given_name: Jill :url: https://www.exmaple.com/team/jsmith If your global link:https://git-scm.com[Git] configuration is properly configured, your given name; family name; and email will be used by default. Should you not want to defer to Git, you can supply custom values as desired. The URL is the only value that can't be automatically computed for you. ==== Build All build options accept booleans values only and can be customized as desired. When changing your build options, they will dynamically render when displaying usage (i.e. `rubysmith --help`). All of these options have been explained in greater detail in the _Usage_ section. ℹ️ The `cli` option is provided to support the {gemsmith_link} gem but is not, currently, used by this project. ==== Citations This section allows you to configure your link:https://orcid.org[ORCID] link:https://citation-file-format.github.io[citation] information used by the research community. You should definitely fill this in. Your author information, detailed above, will be used as well. ==== Documentation Use this section to define the kind of documentation you want generated for your project. The following options are available: * `adoc` - Uses link:https://asciidoctor.org[ASCII Doc] format. * `md` - Use link:https://asciidoctor.org[Markdown] format. ==== Extensions Extensions are additional tooling which can be configured specifically for Rubysmith. The following extensions are currently supported and will override each extensions global configuration should you be using them individually for other purposes: * link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/milestoner[Milestoner] * link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/pragmater[Pragmater] * link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/tocer[Tocer] Follow the above links to learn more about each extension's gem configuration. ==== GitHub Your GitHub user is the handle you setup when creating your GitHub account. This information is used for template, funding, and/or URL construction purposes. ==== License Use this section to define the license you want to use for your project. The following kinds of license are available: * *Apache*: Use `apache` as the name and then supply the appropriate label and version. * *Hippocratic*: Use `hippocratic` as the name and then supply the appropriate label and version. * *MIT*: Use `mit` as the name and then supply the appropriate label and version. ==== Project There are two sub-categories within this section: URLs and version. The URLs allow you to link to specific documentation related to your project. You'll want to customize these URLs since they are used for documentation, citations, and general project information. Some of the URLs are also used by the {gemsmith_link} gem. You can also use `%project_name%` as a placeholder anywhere in your URL and Rubysmith will ensure your place holder is replaced with your project name when generating a new project. Example: .... # Configuration https://www.example.com/%project_name% # Command rubysmith --build demo # Actual (computed result) https://www.example.com/demo .... As for the `version` key, this defines the default version of newly created projects. `0.0.0` is the default but you can use a higher version number like `0.1.0` or even `1.0.0` if you are super confident in your work. That said, the lower the number is better when building your initial project. == Development To contribute, run: [source,bash] ---- git clone https://github.com/bkuhlmann/rubysmith cd rubysmith bin/setup ---- You can also use the IRB console for direct access to all objects: [source,bash] ---- bin/console ---- == Tests To test, run: [source,bash] ---- bin/rake ---- == link:https://www.alchemists.io/policies/license[License] == link:https://www.alchemists.io/policies/security[Security] == link:https://www.alchemists.io/policies/code_of_conduct[Code of Conduct] == link:https://www.alchemists.io/policies/contributions[Contributions] == link:https://www.alchemists.io/projects/rubysmith/versions[Versions] == link:https://www.alchemists.io/community[Community] == Credits * Built with {gemsmith_link}. * Engineered by link:https://www.alchemists.io/team/brooke_kuhlmann[Brooke Kuhlmann].
