example_gem

README-中文版

This gem is to show how to create a gem from start and to provide an example for creating a gem.

You can create a gem by this command:

bundle gem example_gem

Traditionally the summary is like the description but shorter. The summary is normally about one line, while the description can go on for four or five lines.

Make sure to replace “FIXME” and “TODO” in the descriptions - “ gem build” doesnʼt like them and they look bad to users.

Youʼll need to add dependencies at the bottom. They can look like this:

  gem.add_development_dependency "rspec"
  gem.add_runtime_dependency "rest-client"
  gem.add_runtime_dependency "some_gem", "1.3.0"
  gem.add_runtime_dependency "other_gem", ">0.8.2"

Each of these adds a runtime dependency (needed to run the gem at all) or a development dependency (needed to develop or test the gem).

Letʼs build your gem and install it:

 gem build example_gem.gemspec
 gem install example_gem-0.0.1.gem

the final step is to require the gem and use it:

% irb
2.1.1 :001 > require 'example_gem'
true
2.1.1 :002 > ExampleGem::Hello.say_hi
Hello, world!
nil
2.1.1 :003 > ExampleGem::Hello.say_hi("liukgg")
Hello, liukgg!
nil
2.1.1 :004 >

Build the gem again and install it:

gem build example_gem.gemspec
gem install example_gem-0.0.1.gem
