GemsBond

GemsBond inspects your Gemfile and calculates a score for each gem depending on its activity and popularity.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gems_bond'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gems_bond

Get information about a given gem. The result is display in the terminal.

bundle exec rake gems_bond:spy:one rails

This will output:

-------- RAILS INFO --------

Ruby on Rails is a full-stack web framework optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. It encourages beautiful code by favoring convention over configuration.

- url: https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/v6.1.3
- version: 5.2.0 (27 behind 6.1.3)
- counts: 270 222 380 downloads | 19 185 forks | 47 738 stars | 375 contributors
- activity: 21 days since last version | 0 days since last commit

You can spy any gem by its name, even if it is not in your project dependencies.

Get information and scoring for all of the current project gems.

First, you need to get a GithHub token since the gem fetches data from the GitHub API.

When logged in on GitHub, go in https://github.com/settings/tokens and generate a new token.

A readonly token is enough, you can leave all checkbox unchecked.

Add the token in your config:

# config/initializers/gems_bond.rb

GemsBond.configure do |config|
  config.github_token = 'my_github_readonly_token'
end

Then run the task:

bundle exec rake gems_bond:spy:all

You can provide the token at this moment if it is not set in configuration or if you want to override it:

bundle exec rake gems_bond:spy:all GITHUB_TOKEN=my_github_readonly_token

The output can then be read in gems_bond/spy.csv and gems_bond/spy.html.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies.

Add a github token in the .env.test file (GITHUB_TOKEN=<token>) then run rspec, or run rspec --tag ~@api to skip tests calling RubyGems and GitHub APIs.

You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
