# to_source [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/txus/to_source.png)](http://travis-ci.org/txus/to_source)

to_source is a little Rubinius gem that enables Abstract Syntax Tree nodes to
transform themselves into source code. It's the reverse of Rubinius' builtin
`#to_ast` method. See for yourself:

    #!/bin/rbx
    some_code = "a = 123"
    ast = some_code.to_ast
    # => #<Rubinius::AST::LocalVariableAssignment:0x21b8
            @value=#<Rubinius::AST::FixnumLiteral:0x21bc @value=123 @line=1>
            @variable=nil @line=1 @name=:a>

    ast.to_source
    # => "a = 123"

## Installing

to_source needs Rubinius 2.0 to run, in either 1.8 or 1.9 mode.

To install it as a gem:

    $ gem install to_source

And `require 'to_source'` from your code. Automatically, your AST nodes respond
to the `#to_source` method.

But if you're using Bundler, just put this in your Gemfile:

    gem 'to_source'

And just call `#to_source` in any AST node!
