Provides SMTP STARTTLS support for Ruby 1.8.6 (built-in for 1.8.7+). Simply require 'smtp_tls' and use the Net::SMTP#enable_starttls method to talk to servers that use STARTTLS. require 'net/smtp' begin require 'smtp_tls' rescue LoadError end smtp = Net::SMTP.new address, port smtp.enable_starttls smtp.start Socket.gethostname, user, password, authentication do |server| server.send_message message, from, to end You can also test your SMTP connection settings using mail_smtp_tls: $ date | ruby -Ilib bin/mail_smtp_tls smtp.example.com submission \ "your username" "your password" plain \ from@example.com to@example.com Using SMTP_TLS 1.0.3 -> "220 smtp.example.com ESMTP XXX\r\n" <- "EHLO you.example.com\r\n" -> "250-smtp.example.com at your service, [192.0.2.1]\r\n" -> "250-SIZE 35651584\r\n" -> "250-8BITMIME\r\n" -> "250-STARTTLS\r\n" -> "250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES\r\n" -> "250 PIPELINING\r\n" <- "STARTTLS\r\n" -> "220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS\r\n" TLS connection started <- "EHLO you.example.com\r\n" -> "250-smtp.example.com at your service, [192.0.2.1]\r\n" -> "250-SIZE 35651584\r\n" -> "250-8BITMIME\r\n" -> "250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN\r\n" -> "250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES\r\n" -> "250 PIPELINING\r\n" <- "AUTH PLAIN BASE64_STUFF_HERE\r\n" -> "235 2.7.0 Accepted\r\n" <- "MAIL FROM:<from@example.com>\r\n" -> "250 2.1.0 OK XXX\r\n" <- "RCPT TO:<to@example.com>\r\n" -> "250 2.1.5 OK XXX\r\n" <- "DATA\r\n" -> "354 Go ahead XXX\r\n" writing message from String wrote 91 bytes -> "250 2.0.0 OK 1247028988 XXX\r\n" <- "QUIT\r\n" -> "221 2.0.0 closing connection XXX\r\n" This will connect to smtp.example.com using the submission port (port 587) with a username and password of "your username" and "your password" and authenticate using plain-text auth (the submission port always uses SSL) then send the current date to to@example.com from from@example.com.

Jekyll Archive Generator creates a set of archive pages for a Jekyll website. Oddly, Jekyll doesn't include a date-based archive for posts out of the box. For example, if you have a permalink structure like `blog/2014/01/01/title, URL hacking won't work because going to `blog/2014` will return 404 Page Not Found. Jekyll Archive Generator fixes that by generating all the necessary archive pages for each part your blog URL structure.

Value Value is a library for defining immutable value objects in Ruby. A value object is an object whose equality to other objects is determined by its value, not its identity, think dates and amounts of money. A value object should also be immutable, as you don’t want the date “2013-04-22” itself to change but the current date to change from “2013-04-22” to “2013-04-23”. That is, you don’t want entries in a calendar for 2013-04-22 to move to 2013-04-23 simply because the current date changes from 2013-04-22 to 2013-04-23. A value object consists of one or more attributes stored in instance variables. Value sets up an #initialize method for you that let’s you set these attributes, as, value objects being immutable, this’ll be your only chance to do so. Value also adds equality checks ‹#==› and ‹#eql?› (which are themselves equivalent), a ‹#hash› method, a nice ‹#inspect› method, and a protected attribute reader for each attribute. You may of course add any additional methods that your value object will benefit from. That’s basically all there’s too it. Let’s now look at using the Value library. § Usage You create value object class by invoking ‹#Value› inside the class (module) you wish to make into a value object class. Let’s create a class that represent points on a plane: class Point Value :x, :y end A ‹Point› is thus a value object consisting of two sub-values ‹x› and ‹y› (the coordinates). Just from invoking ‹#Value›, a ‹Point› object will have a constructor that takes two arguments to set instance variables ‹@x› and ‹@y›, equality checks ‹#==› and ‹#eql?› (which are the same), a ‹#hash› method, a nice ‹#inspect› method, and two protected attribute readers ‹#x› and ‹#y›. We can thus already creat ‹Point›s: origo = Point.new(0, 0) The default of making the attribute readers protected is often good practice, but for a ‹Point› it probably makes sense to be able to access its coordinates: class Point public(*attributes) end This’ll make all attributes of ‹Point› public. You can of course choose to only make certain attributes public: class Point public :x end Note that this public is standard Ruby functionality. Adding a method to ‹Point› is of course also possible and very much Rubyish: class Point def distance(other) Math.sqrt((other.x - x)**2 + (other.y - y)**2) end end For some value object classes you might want to support optional attributes. This is done by providing a default value for the attribute, like so: class Money Value :amount, [:currency, :USD] end Here, the ‹currency› attribute will default to ‹:USD›. You can create ‹Money› via dollars = Money.new(2) but also kronor = Money.new(2, :SEK) All required attributes must come before any optional attributes. Splat attributes are also supported: class List Value :'*elements' end empty = List.new suits = List.new(:spades, :hearts, :diamonds, :clubs) Splat attributes are optional. Finally, block attributes are also available: class Block Value :'&block' end block = Block.new{ |e| e * 2 } Block attributes are optional. Comparison beyond ‹#==› is possible by specifingy the ‹:comparable› option to ‹#Value›, listing one or more attributes that should be included in the comparison: class Vector Value :a, :b, :comparable => :a end Note that equality (‹#==› and ‹#eql?›) is always defined based on all attributes, regardless of arguments to ‹:comparable›. Here we say that comparisons between ‹Vector›s should be made between the values of the ‹a› attribute only. We can also make comparisons between all attributes of a value object: class Vector Value :a, :b, :comparable => true end To sum things up, let’s use all possible arguments to ‹#Value› at once: class Method Value :file, :line, [:name, 'unnamed'], :'*args', :'&block', :comparable => [:file, :line] end A ‹Method› consists of file and line information, a possible name, some arguments, possibly a block, and is comparable on the file and line on which they appear.

abstract_feature_branch is a Ruby gem that provides a unique variation on the Branch by Abstraction Pattern by Paul Hammant and the Feature Toggles Pattern by Martin Fowler to enhance team productivity and improve software fault tolerance. It provides the ability to wrap blocks of code with an abstract feature branch name, and then specify in a configuration file which features to be switched on or off. The goal is to build out upcoming features in the same source code repository branch (i.e. Continuous Integration and Trunk-Based Development), regardless of whether all are completed by the next release date or not, thus increasing team productivity by preventing integration delays. Developers then disable in-progress features until they are ready to be switched on in production, yet enable them locally and in staging environments for in-progress testing. This gives developers the added benefit of being able to switch a feature off after release should big problems arise for a high risk feature. abstract_feature_branch additionally supports Domain Driven Design's pattern of Bounded Contexts by allowing developers to configure context-specific feature files if needed. abstract_feature_branch is one of the simplest and most minimalistic "Feature Flags" Ruby gems out there as it enables you to get started very quickly by simply leveraging YAML files without having to set up a data store if you do not need it (albeit, you also have the option to use Redis as a very fast in-memory data store).
