Ebooks

Generate your own horse_ebooks by @busterbenson (original gist, blog post) and compiled as a gem by @parkr

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ebooks'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ebooks

The ebooks executable and Ebooks.read_config_file will load in a yaml file (~/.ebooks by default) if you want to set your own defaults.

Here are the gem's defaults:

:tweets_csv_path: 'tweets.csv'
:corpus_path:     'markov_dict.txt'
:dictionary_name: 'dictionary'
:twitter:
  :consumer_key: ''
  :consumer_secret: ''
  :oauth_token: ''
  :oauth_token_secret: ''

As an API:

config = Ebooks.configuration(my_overrides)

# Generate a sentence and return it
Ebooks.generate(config)

# Generate sentence and tweet it
Ebooks.tweet(config)

# Just tweet a sentence
Ebooks::Twitter.new(config[:twitter]).tweet(my_sentence)

As an executable:

# To generate a new horse_ebooks sentence:
ebooks generate

# To generate a new sentence and tweet it:
ebooks tweet
