ReportAction

A collection of tools for structuring and building simple reports, which can be extracted as a structure or as text with html.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'report_action'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install report_action

First, initialize a new report structure:

my_report = ReportAction::Report.new

Then add items to your report using this syntax:

my_report.report_item(process, group, message)

For example:

my_report.report_item('Full Task Report', 'Tasks', 'This is a task')
my_report.report_item('Full Task Report', 'Tasks', 'This is another task')
my_report.report_item('Full Task Report', 'Results', 'This is a result.')
my_report.report_item('User Task Report For Ralph', 'Tasks', 'This is a different task.')

Build a report for a single process as text with html headers and paragraphs:

my_report.build_report('Full Task Report')

which returns:

<h1>Tasks</h1><p>This is a task</p><p>This is another task</p><h1>Results</h1><p>This is a result.</p>

List all processes in a report:

my_report.list_report_processes

Retrieve the full report structure:

structure = my_report.retrieve_report_structure

See if a report has messages for a given process and group:

my_report.has_messages?('Full Task Report', 'Tasks')

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, merge changes into main, pull changes locally into then main branch 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.
