Methods for defining type-checked arrays and attributes

ALPHA Alert -- just uploaded initial release. Linux inotify is a means to receive events describing file system activity (create, modify, delete, close, etc). Sinotify was derived from aredridel's package (http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-inotify/), with the addition of Paul Boon's tweak for making the event_check thread more polite (see http://www.mindbucket.com/2009/02/24/ruby-daemons-verifying-good-behavior/) In sinotify, the classes Sinotify::PrimNotifier and Sinotify::PrimEvent provide a low level wrapper to inotify, with the ability to establish 'watches' and then listen for inotify events using one of inotify's synchronous event loops, and providing access to the events' masks (see 'man inotify' for details). Sinotify::PrimEvent class adds a little semantic sugar to the event in to the form of 'etypes', which are just ruby symbols that describe the event mask. If the event has a raw mask of (DELETE_SELF & IS_DIR), then the etypes array would be [:delete_self, :is_dir]. In addition to the 'straight' wrapper in inotify, sinotify provides an asynchronous implementation of the 'observer pattern' for notification. In other words, Sinotify::Notifier listens in the background for inotify events, adapting them into instances of Sinotify::Event as they come in and immediately placing them in a concurrent queue, from which they are 'announced' to 'subscribers' of the event. [Sinotify uses the 'cosell' implementation of the Announcements event notification framework, hence the terminology 'subscribe' and 'announce' rather then 'listen' and 'trigger' used in the standard event observer pattern. See the 'cosell' package on github for details.] A variety of 'knobs' are provided for controlling the behavior of the notifier: whether a watch should apply to a single directory or should recurse into subdirectores, how fast it should broadcast queued events, etc (see Sinotify::Notifier, and the example in the synopsis section below). An event 'spy' can also be setup to log all Sinotify::PrimEvents and Sinotify::Events. Sinotify::Event simplifies inotify's muddled event model, sending events only for those files/directories that have changed. That's not to say you can't setup a notifier that recurses into subdirectories, just that any individual event will apply to a single file, and not to its children. Also, event types are identified using words (in the form of ruby :symbols) instead of inotify's event masks. See Sinotify::Event for more explanation. The README for inotify: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/inotify/README Selected quotes from the README for inotify: * "Rumor is that the 'd' in 'dnotify' does not stand for 'directory' but for 'suck.'" * "The 'i' in inotify does not stand for 'suck' but for 'inode' -- the logical choice since inotify is inode-based." (The 's' in 'sinotify' does in fact stand for 'suck.')

Normally Rails/Rack only checks the '_method' parameter in POST requests, but JSONP requests are always GETs. This railtie enables the '_method' check for all request types, including GET.

Typedeaf is a gem to help add some type-checking to method declarations in Ruby

Guard plugin for the Sorbet Ruby type checker

It is a delegate library that checks the type of an argument

A puppet-lint plugin to check that manifest files do not contain resources outside of a class or defined type definition.

ruby-contract provides support for describing and using types via unit-tests. It offers support for specifying contracts (Contract), method signature checks (Module#signature), automatic adaption between types (Kernel#adaption) and integration with the classic message- and class-based typing.

yae provides a simple enum class (enumerated type) implementation (Yae::Enum) that can be used to abstract a set of values. It also provides methods to check values existence in the enum and to iterate over its contents.

FlexCoerce - is a gem which allow you create operator-dependent coercion logic. It's useful when your type should be treated in a different way for different binary operations (including arithmetic operators, bitwise operators and comparison operators except equality checks: `==`, `===`).

Only 70 lines. Add a optional type system to ruby using runtime checks and contracts . make it crash early, know exactly what a function (or method) returns and specify the 'type' of the parameters using good old ducktyping

Flags is a framework for Ruby which allows the definition of command-line flags, which are parsed in and can be accessed smartly from within your Ruby code. This framework allows for numerous different flag types, and takes care of the process of type conversion and flag validation (type and value checking).

This gem adds Mobility plugin, which can be turned on for Rails model, and will check types of values passed to setters.

QuacksLike is a module for RSpec to add matchers that test if an object is fully duck-typed to pretend to be another class. This kind of thing is really only necessary when passing such an object as the return value in an API where you don't know exactly how it will be consumed, but it needs to "quack like an Array" or something. It does its job by checking every instance method in the class that the target object needs to "quack like" and makes sure the target both responds to that method name and that the arity of the method is appropriate.

A Ruby dialect that includes types in the language. Transpiles to Ruby and RBS by leveraging the ruby-next and irbs gems. Type checks with steep.

Checks for valid content type of excel files.

A puppet-lint plugin to check if parameters in Classes and Defines has types declared.

Rubyt is a ruby gem that provides type checking functionality. It includes support for various types such as Boolean, Integer, String, Array, Hash and more. This gem is designed to enforce type safety, facilitating the creation of readable and maintainable code. It includes custom error handling for type mismatches. With its ease of use and integration, it can seamlessly fit into existing projects.

Reliable contract definition, data validation, and type checking for Ruby.

Property types that add CHECK constraints to your DB and validations to your model. Data integrity FTW.
