Poserbot

Poserbot is a ruby gem that generates random sentences for your databases or your own amusement. Poserbot uses libraries of various nouns, adjectives, and verbs to populate several different potential sentence templates.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'poserbot'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install poserbot

require 'poserbot'

Poser::Sentence.new                 #=> "I hate when my eagle spills my reading."

Poser::Comment.positive             #=> "This is why I downloaded this app."

Poser::Comment.positive('Billy')    #=> "Billy is my favorite person on this platform."

Note: Poser::Sentence creates an entirely random sentence with random nouns/verbs/adjectives. Poser::Comment pulls from a pool of prewritten comments with positive, negative, or neutral connotations.

Poser::Sentence.new     #=> "I type a very ethereal room."

• Inserts a random noun/verb/adjective into prewritten sentence templates

Poser::Sentence.create(2)     #=> ["When I mark my driver, my plough becomes poor. ", "When I borrow my parrot, my racing becomes nimble. "]

• Same function as Poser::Sentence.new method but allows the amount of sentences generated to be inputted as an argument
• Note: Poser::Sentence.create returns each sentence as elements in an array. To return a string of all sentences, use Poser::Sentence.create(number_of_sentences).join('')

Poser::Comment.positive     #=> "I couldn't agree more."

• Returns one of many prewritten positive responses.

Poser::Comment.neutral     #=> "It doesn't really matter to me."

• Returns one of many prewritten neutral responses.

Poser::Comment.negative     #=> "You don't look good in this post"

• Returns one of many prewritten negative responses.

All methods for Poser::Comment can recieve a string as an argument as shown below.

Poser::Comment.positive('Joe')     #=> "Joe is my favorite person on this platform."

Poser::Comment.neutral('Joe')     #=> "Joe is just ok."

Poser::Comment.negative('Joe')     #=> "Joe, Never hang out with me again."

The library of nouns, verbs, and adjectives come from this github gist link: https://gist.github.com/ijmacdowell/8325491. Given the nature of the Poser::Sentence method being randomly generated, there is always the possibility of a sentence coming out as offensive or problematic. We have taken the liberty of removing any ethnicities, countries, and proper names from the nouns list. Additionally, we have sifted through all of the verbs and adjectives to remove any potentially offensive words. That being said, it is still possible some potentially offensive words remain in the list. We are open to any pull request regarding the removal of a word from the list and we will take action as we see fit.

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/joebenitus/poser_gem. Please feel free to add data to potential sentence templates as our current data pool is limited.
