ComicBook

⚠️ Under construction. ⚠️ A Ruby library and CLI tool for managing comic books archives.

extract — to open a .cb* file.

archive — to create a .cb* file (default: .cbz).

Currently supported formats, archive and extract:

• CB7 — 7zip
• CBT — Tar
• CBZ — Zip

Planned formats , only extract:

• CBR — RAR is proprietary without an open source implementation license. People use WinRAR (Windows-only) to create .rar files. Or unrar on Linux/macOS to open .rar files. Extracting support is provided because a large number of comic books are archived in .cbr/.rar format, primarily by Windows users. No support for creating .cbr files will ever be added until RAR is opensource (or reverse engineered).
• CBA — ACE is both proprietary and very old/outdated/unsupported. ACE extracting support is provided for historical posterity and completeness.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

bundle add comicbook

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

gem install comicbook

In Ruby, you can use the ComicBook class to extract comic books archives from various formats. You archive a folder of images to create a comic book archive.

ComicBook.extract 'path/to/archive.cbz'

ComicBook.archive 'path/to/archive'

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 the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
