ChuckNorris

ChuckNorris is a light weight Ruby wrapper around the Chuck Norris Joke API found here. It contains a series of Chuck Norris jokes which can be customized with an individuals first and last name.

Usage

Getting Random Joke

Jokes have an id, joke, and categories you can query.

joke = ChuckNorris::JokeFinder.get_joke
joke.id # => 497
joke.joke # => "If Chuck Norris writes code with bugs, the bugs fix themselves." 
joke.categories # => ["nerdy"]

You can customize the name of the person in the joke by passing in the first_name and last_name as options:

joke = ChuckNorris::JokeFinder.get_joke(first_name: 'Spencer', last_name: 'Dixon')
joke.joke # => "Spencer Dixon doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants."

Getting Multiple Jokes

You can get multiple jokes by passing the number you want as an argument to the ChuckNorris.get_jokes method. NOTE the s at the end.

jokes = ChuckNorris::JokeFinder.get_jokes(3)
jokes[0].joke 
# => "When Chuck Norris throws exceptions, it's across the room."

jokes[1].joke 
# => "The only sure things are Death and Taxes and when Chuck Norris goes to work for the IRS, they'll be the same thing." 

jokes[2].joke 
# => 

Finding Specific Joke

bug_joke = ChuckNorris::JokeFinder.find_joke(497)
bug_joke.joke # => "If Chuck Norris writes code with bugs, the bugs fix themselves."
