SpaceMissions

Welcome to SpaceMissions gem! This gem scrapes the NASA JPL (National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Jet Propulsion Laboratory) site that lists its missions, past, present and future!

You can use this gem to see a list of missions, pick any mission for more information, or search missions by target, description, status or launch date.

There's a lot of space exploration going on out there. Enjoy yourself!

Here is a map of how the code flows: https://www.draw.io/#G1kTJV3IdZMrHr_OBRAEg7t85lNHmaL0l8

Here are some blog posts I wrote about building this project:

Possible future features: -refine secondary search results

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'space_missions'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install space_missions

Once installed, you can run the gem with: ./bin/space_missions You will be presented with a list of current JPL space missions and instructions on how to proceed. Have fun checking JPL's many ongoing missions!

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, 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.
