[](https://travis-ci.org/krissy/slothify) # Slothify Slothify is a little [refinement](http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.3.0/doc/syntax/refinements_rdoc.html) to ruby's String class that lets you express yourself a little slowerrrr. ## Installation and Setup Add it to your project's Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'slothify' ``` And execute: $ bundle OR Install the gem locally: $ gem install slothify Unlike direct monkey patches, Ruby refinements allow you to redefine or add functionality to existing classes locally, without the risk of changing things on a global scope. To activate a refinement, you need to add the `using Slothify` syntax at the top of your file, class or module. ## Example Usage require 'slothify' module YourModule using Slothify puts "Hello, fast world!".slothify # => "Helloooo, fastttt worldddd!" puts "Oh, hai.".slothify(10) # => "Ohhhhhhhhhhh, haiiiiiiiiiii." end ## Development After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake test` 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](https://rubygems.org). ## Contributing Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/krissy/slothify. ## License The gem is available as open source under the terms of the [MIT License](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).
