Glueckskeks

Use 'corpus' files specified in corpus/ to create random phrases (or other things) on the command line.

To experiment with that code, run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

To install the gem (to use its executable):

$ gem install glueckskeks

To play with its functionality from your own (ruby) code add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'glueckskeks'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Put files in corpus/ that list possible values (one per line), e.g.

$ cat corpus/base.corpus
<adj> <noun>
$ cat corpus/adj.corpus
black
white
$ cat corpus/noun.corpus
cat
dog

. That example should show that there are three files, corpus/base.corpus, corpus/adj.corpus and corpus/noun.corpus with the respective content. The base.corpus file will be read first and stuff in dangerous brackets (<stuff>) will be replaced by one of the values (== lines) of the respective file (corpus/stuff.corpus, or in the example above, adj.corpus and noun.corpus respectively). Note that thes "variable"-names do not include the file ending .corpus.

To produce a random selection, execute glueckskeks (depending on your setup this might be bundle exec exe/glueckskeks), e.g.

$ glueckskeks
black cat
-> bc

The last line ("bc" in that example) will be your phrase in passwordish-abbreviation.

Note that the starting node ('base') and the directory where the corpus files are located can be changed. Run glueckskeks --help to get this or a similar output:

$ glueckskeks --help
Usage: exe/glueckskeks

Generate phrase from files (default: in corpus/).

    -b, --base=BASE                  Start extension from BASE file (default: 'base')
    -c, --corpus=DIRECTORY           Read .corpus files from DIRECTORY (default: './corpus')
    -d, --debug                      Print debug messages to STDOUT
        --[no-]capitalize            Capitalize first letter of output (default: true)
    -h, --help                       Show this help and exit.
        --version                    Show version and exit.

With 171 lines of code the rough idea should be easy to grasp. If you follow the pattern of files in corpus-files

require 'glueckskes'

puts Glueckskeks.generate

If you get your corpus from elsewhere

require 'glueckskes'

corpus_data = {
  'base' => ['<subj> are <pred>'],
  'noun' => ['cats', 'dogs'],
  'pred' => ['lovely', 'adorable']
}

Glueckskeks::Templater.fill(corpus_data['base'].sample, corpus_data)
#=> e.g. 'cats are adorable'

"Glueckskeks" is the German term for the wisdom-containing thing that you get served e.g. in chinese restaurants (in Germany). Like, remember the internet-meme "That wasn't chicken"".

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