Malicious npm Package Brand-Squats TanStack to Exfiltrate Environment Variables
A brand-squatted TanStack npm package used postinstall scripts to steal .env files and exfiltrate developer secrets to an attacker-controlled endpoint.
color_gradient
Advanced tools
This, my first ever gem, takes a gradient calculation class created by Tom Pesman, and makes it use Color gem objects.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'color_gradient'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install color_gradient
start = Color::RGB.new(0, 0, 0)
stop = Color::RGB.new(255, 255, 255)
resolution = 7
color_gradient = ColorGradient.new(start, stop, resolution)
# Each of the following returns a Color gem object for the colour relating to that step
color_gradient.gradient(0)
color_gradient.gradient(1)
color_gradient.gradient(2)
color_gradient.gradient(3)
color_gradient.gradient(4)
color_gradient.gradient(5)
color_gradient.gradient(6)
color_gradient.gradient(7)
# Or use as enumerable object
color_gradient.each do |colour|
do_something(colour)
end
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
