StringProcessing

This is a tiny little gem that tries to add a little structure in moments where you are doing extensive text transformations.

Ruby has amazing string processing abilities built in but in circumstances were many transformations are required its common to see long chains of gsubs/splits/joins.

The goal here is to avoid that an replace it with something a little more readable and structured.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'string_processing'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install string_processing

To use StringProcessing you first define a pipeline by calling Pipeline.define. This will return a class which will do the processing when you call the process method.

FooPipeline = StringProcessing::Pipeline.define do
  using proc{|x| x.map{|n| n.split('/')} }
  using proc{|x| x.map(&:downcase) }
end

FooPipeline.process "HTML/CSS"
=> ["html", "css"]

The processing pipeline can consist of anything that responds to #call and both accepts and returns an array.
