Primitive

This library contains the most root objects I found myself re-implementing over and over. It is meant to serve as an abstract base for object modeling a domain.

To install through Rubygems:

gem install primitive

You can also add this to your Gemfile using:

bundle add primitive

Base class for objects identified by a string value (ID). Extension examples:

class Team < Primitive::Entity
  attr_reader :name

  def initialize(id:, name:)
    super(id)

    @name = name
  end
end

# Not allowing direct manipulation of ID in the case it is controlled by the repository.
class Player < Primitive::Entity
  attr_reader :name

  def initialize(name:)
    super()

    @name = name
  end
end

Several features are now provided by its base-class via the ID attribute:

• Case-insensitive equality: #eql? and #==
• Object hashing: #hash
• Sorting: #<=>
• Outputting: #to_s

An interface that describes how a repository should function for loading/saving entities. A concrete example (albeit simple) is the Primitive::CompactFile class which leverages YAML for serialization. Note that ID, in this case, is representative of the file path.

Basic steps to take to get this repository compiling:

1. Install Ruby (check primitive.gemspec for versions supported)
2. Install bundler (gem install bundler)
3. Clone the repository (git clone git@github.com:mattruggio/primitive.git)
4. Navigate to the root folder (cd primitive)
5. Install dependencies (bundle)

To execute the test suite run:

bin/rspec spec --format documentation

Alternatively, you can have Guard watch for changes:

bin/guard

Also, do not forget to run Rubocop:

bin/rubocop

And auditing the dependencies:

bin/bundler-audit check --update

And Sorbet:

bin/srb

Note: ensure you have proper authorization before trying to publish new versions.

After code changes have successfully gone through the Pull Request review process then the following steps should be followed for publishing new versions:

1. Merge Pull Request into main
2. Update version.rb using semantic versioning
3. Install dependencies: bundle
4. Update CHANGELOG.md with release notes
5. Commit & push main to remote and ensure CI builds main successfully
6. Run bin/rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Everyone interacting in this codebase, issue trackers, chat rooms and mailing lists is expected to follow the code of conduct.
