Client & Server Utilities

Rong-elements contains shared game models and utilities for Rong, a Ruby implementation of Pong that consists of a server module for managing games, a client module for for interfacing with the server, and hopefully a few client implementations for playing some rad Pong, brah.

Installs the 'jabber-tee' utility for sending messages to a remote jabber server. Instead of a standard client, it reads from standard in and continues to write to the console.

Adds pessimistic locking capabilities to the redis gem. Since these capabilities are utilized client-side, all clients must use this gem and follow the order of lock => make changes => unlock in order to obtain maximum safety when modifying sensitive keys. Tested with redis-server 2.0.4 and should work with all versions > 0.091.

Log2json lets you read, filter and send logs as JSON objects via Unix pipes. It is inspired by Logstash, and is meant to be compatible with it at the JSON event/record level so that it can easily work with Kibana. Reading logs is done via a shell script(eg, `tail`) running in its own process. You then configure(see the `syslog2json` or the `nginxlog2json` script for examples) and run your filters in Ruby using the `Log2Json` module and its contained helper classes. `Log2Json` reads from stdin the logs(one log record per line), parses the log lines into JSON records, and then serializes and writes the records to stdout, which then can be piped to another process for processing or sending it to somewhere else. Currently, Log2json ships with a `tail-log` script that can be run as the input process. It's the same as using the Linux `tail` utility with the `-v -F` options except that it also tracks the positions(as the numbers of lines read from the beginning of the files) in a few files in the file system so that if the input process is interrupted, it can continue reading from where it left off next time if the files had been followed. This feature is similar to the sincedb feature in Logstash's file input. Note: If you don't need the tracking feature(ie, you are fine with always tailling from the end of file with `-v -F -n0`), then you can just use the `tail` utility that comes with your Linux distribution.(Or more specifically, the `tail` from the GNU coreutils). Other versions of the `tail` utility may also work, but are not tested. The input protocol expected by Log2json is very simple and documented in the source code. ** The `tail-log` script uses a patched version of `tail` from the GNU coreutils package. A binary of the `tail` utility compiled for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is included with the Log2json gem. If the binary doesn't work for your distribution, then you'll need to get GNU coreutils-8.13, apply the patch(it can be found in the src/ directory of the installed gem), and then replace the bin/tail binary in the directory of the installed gem with your version of the binary. ** P.S. If you know of a way to configure and compile ONLY the tail program in coreutils, please let me know! The reason I'm not building tail post gem installation is that it takes too long to configure && make because that actually builds every utilties in coreutils. For shipping logs to Redis, there's the `lines2redis` script that can be used as the output process in the pipe. For shipping logs from Redis to ElasticSearch, Log2json provides a `redis2es` script. Finally here's an example of Log2json in action: From a client machine: tail-log /var/log/{sys,mail}log /var/log/{kern,auth}.log | syslog2json | queue=jsonlogs \ flush_size=20 \ flush_interval=30 \ lines2redis host.to.redis.server 6379 0 # use redis DB 0 On the Redis server: redis_queue=jsonlogs redis2es host.to.es.server Resources that help writing log2json filters: - look at log2json.rb source and example filters - http://grokdebug.herokuapp.com/ - http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/date/rdoc/DateTime.html#method-i-strftime

Utility to monitor log files and submit lines which match regular expressions to a server via HTTP

Diru is a Change Directory (cd) utility for augmenting Unix Shell functionality. Diru makes it easy and efficient to jump around in Project's directories. Diru uses client/server architecture, which enables sharing of directory info and state between terminal sessions. Each Server serves one Project, which is a tree of related directories where user wants to jump around and which has a logical root. There can be multiple Servers, if user needs to access multiple Projects concurrently. Client queries directory info from Server and directory change is pushed to Shell in order to change the current directory within the Shell.

Lightweight gem that utilizes Rails server-side model validations to display client-side error messages for Ajax form submissions.

== README.md: #ScheduledResource This gem is for displaying how things are used over time -- a schedule for a set of "resources". You can configure the elements of the schedule and there are utilities and protocols to connect them: - Configuration (specification and management), - Query interfaces (a REST-like API and internal protocols to query the models), and - A basic Rails controller implementation. We have a way to configure the schedule, internal methods to generate the data, and a way to retrieve data from the client. However this gem is largely view-framework agnostic. We could use a variety of client-side packages or even more traditional Rails view templates to generate HTML. In any case, to get a good feel in a display like this we need some client-side code. The gem includes client-side modules to: - Manage <b>time and display geometries</b> with "infinite" scroll along the time axis. - <b>Format display cells</b> in ways specific to the resource models. - <b>Update text justification</b> as the display is scrolled horizontally. ## Configuration A **scheduled resource** is something that can be used for one thing at a time. So if "Rocky & Bullwinkle" is on channel 3 from 10am to 11am on Saturday, then 'channel 3' is the <u>resource</u> and that showing of the episode is a <u>resource-use</u> block. Resources and use-blocks are typically Rails models. Each resource and its use-blocks get one row in the display. That row has a label to the left with some timespan visible on the rest of the row. Something else you would expect see in a schedule would be headers and labels -- perhaps one row with the date and another row with the hour. Headers and labels also fit the model of resources and use-blocks. Basic timezone-aware classes (ZTime*) for those are included in this gem. ### Config File The schedule configuration comes from <tt>config/resource_schedule.yml</tt> which has three top-level sections: - ResourceKinds: A hash where the key is a Resource and the value is a UseBlock. (Both are class names), - Resources: A list where each item is a Resource Class followed by one or more resource ids, and - visibleTime: The visible timespan of the schedule in seconds. The example file <tt>config/resource_schedule.yml</tt> (installed when you run <tt>schedulize</tt>) should be enough to display a two-row schedule with just the date above and the hour below. Of course you can monkey-patch or subclass these classes for your own needs. ### The schedule API The 'schedule' endpoint uses parameters <tt>t1</tt> and <tt>t2</tt> to specify a time interval for the request. A third parameter <tt>inc</tt> allows an initial time window to be expanded without repeating blocks that span those boundaries. The time parameters _plus the configured resources_ define the data to be returned. ### More About Configuration Management The <b>ScheduledResource</b> class manages resource and use-block class names, id's and labels for a schedule according to the configuration file. A ScheduledResource instance ties together: 1. A resource class (eg TvStation), 2. An id (a channel number in this example), and 3. Strings and other assets that will go into the DOM. The id is used to - select a resource _instance_ and - select instances of the _resource use block_ class (eg Program instances). The id _could_ be a database id but more often is something a little more suited to human use in the configuration. In any case it is used by model class method <tt>(resource_use_block_class).get_all_blocks()</tt> to select the right use-blocks for the resource. A resource class name and id are are joined with a '_' to form a tag that also serves as an id for the DOM. Once the configuration yaml is loaded that data is maintained in the session structure. Of course having a single configuration file limits the application's usefulness. A more general approach would be to have a user model with login and configuration would be associated with the user. ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'scheduled_resource' ``` And then execute: $ bundle Or install it yourself as: $ gem install scheduled_resource Then from your application's root execute: $ schedulize . This will install a few image placeholders, client-side modules and a stylesheet under <tt>vendor/assets</tt>, an example configuration in <tt>config/resource_schedule.yml</tt> and an example controller in <tt>app/controllers/schedule_controller.rb</tt>. Also, if you use $ bundle show scheduled_resource to locate the installed source you can browse example classes <tt>lib/z_time_*.rb</tt> and the controller helper methods in <tt>lib/scheduled_resource/helper.rb</tt> ## Testing This gem also provides for a basic test application using angularjs to display a minimal but functional schedule showing just the day and hour headers in two different timezones (US Pacific and Eastern). Proceed as follows, starting with a fresh Rails app: $ rails new test_sr As above, add the gem to the Gemfile, then $ cd test_sr $ bundle $ schedulize . Add lines such as these to <tt>config/routes.rb</tt> get "/schedule/index" => "schedule#index" get "/schedule" => "schedule#schedule" Copy / merge these files from the gem source into the test app: $SR_SRC/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb $SR_SRC/app/views/schedule/index.html.erb $SR_SRC/app/assets/javascripts/{angular.js,script.js,controllers.js} and add <tt>//= require angular</tt> to application.js just below the entries for <tt>jquery</tt>. After you run the server and browse to http://0.0.0.0:3000/schedule/index you should see the four time-header rows specified by the sample config file. ## More Examples A better place to see the use of this gem is at [tv4](https://github.com/emeyekayee/tv4). Specifically, models <tt>app/models/event.rb</tt> and <tt>app/models/station.rb</tt> give better examples of implementing the ScheduledResource protocol and adapting to a db schema organized along somewhat different lines. ## Contributing 1.

+js-rails-routes+ is a utility for generating JavaScript equivalents to the +<route>_path+ functions provided by {Ruby on Rails}[https://github.com/rails/rails]. This allows you to do very similar things in your {+ejs+}[https://rubygems.org/gems/ejs/] JavaScript templates as you would in your +erb+ ruby templates. You can move html rendering to the client and keep it looking very similar to how it would look on the server. For example, if you have a model +Item+ and a simple route to list all the items, a link to that items page (using an explicit +a+ anchor tag instead of the Rails +link_to+) would look the same in either an +erb+ file or an +ejs+ file: <a href="<%= items_path() %>">List all Items</a> This gem was originally developed as part of the {MVCoffee}[http://mvcoffee.org] suite of tools, and integrates strongly with the {mvcoffee.js}[https://github.com/kirkbowers/mvcoffee] CoffeeScript MVC framework.
