Scaretable

this gem is a place for me to stash my less-than-legitimate Airtable tricks. as of now it's just CSV export, but surely more will follow given the limited nature of this blessed platform's publicly documented API surface.

you have the "i'll probably fix this when Airtable breaks it" guarantee (tbc only valid for as long as i'm working in codebases that need this functionality)

install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

bundle add scaretable

if bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

gem install scaretable

i wouldn't....

anyway, call Scaretable.get_csv("appfymsBOQvUDVDrn", "shrEcl5zKeqmzNKXG", "viw6pc5plZ0r1oZTS") for a CSV. if you don't specify a view ID, it'll figure it out. get_csv_url is also available if you want to download it yourself.

are you sure?

after checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec 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, bump version.rb and push to main, preferably without running the test suite first.

PRs welcome! bug reports also welcome, but slightly less so. this repo lives at https://github.com/24c02/scaretable.

lol as if
