BlackBox

Build Status

Static wrappers for instantiated classes.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'black_box'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install black_box

Usage

  1. Make a box class that extends from BlockBox::Base (or includes BlackBox::Concern).
  2. Specify a subject class with .subject.
  3. Define initialization parameters with .accept.
  4. Define methods to delegate with .expose.
  5. Set initialization parameters with .configure.
# Require your subject
require 'api_object'

# Make your black box
class Api < BlackBox::Base

  subject ApiObject

  accept :token, :ssl

  expose :find

end

# Configure your black box
Api.configure do |api|
  api.token = 'my_api_token'
  api.ssl   = true
end

# Use your black box
Api.find(12)

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.
