PWSdelta / deploy.rb

Created December 19, 2013 02:03

A sample Capistrano deploy.rb file I use as a base for all my projects. It's a straightforward & doesn't add much custom functionality besides symlinking my database.yml into my project from a folder outside of my application (considered good security practice).

	require 'bundler/capistrano'

	# Include this if you want to be able to set up different deployment stages (i.e. beta, stage, etc.)
	# require 'capistrano/ext/multistage'

	set :application, "example.com"
	set :user, "linuxusername"

	default_run_options[:pty] = true
	set :use_sudo, true

	# http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0/libdoc/benchmark/rdoc/Benchmark.html
	require 'benchmark'
	# http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0.0/libdoc/bigdecimal/rdoc/BigMath.html
	require 'bigdecimal/math'


	# Set the number of iterations to run. The underscore here is used as a substitute for normal comma so Ruby interprets the number correctly.
	iterations = 10
	puts "\nCalculating pi #{iterations} times.\n\n"

Created December 11, 2013 14:20

Ruby script that uses open-uri to fetch the contents of a JSON endpoint, uses the JSON gem to parse the string into a Ruby array & prints some of the records. This is the foundation for all web API requests, so feel free to use it in the future.

	# http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0.0/libdoc/open-uri/rdoc/OpenURI.html
	require 'open-uri'
	# https://github.com/flori/json
	require 'json'
	# http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9008847/what-is-difference-between-p-and-pp
	require 'pp'

	# Construct the URL we'll be calling
	request_uri = 'http://localhost:3000/users.json'
	request_query = ''

PWSdelta / ruby_web_scraping.rb

Created December 9, 2013 22:44

A Ruby web scraping script that visits a GitHub trending repos page, scrapes the data for the 25 repos, loads them into a CSV, and then reads from the CSV & creates a hash with each repo's data.

	require 'mechanize'
	require 'csv'

	# Load up the trending Ruby repos on GitHub from the last month.
	url_to_scrape = "https://github.com/trending?l=ruby&since=monthly"
	# Snag the website with Mechanize & parse it into an XML document we can query.
	page = Mechanize.new.get(url_to_scrape)

	# Set the name of the CSV we'll create & load from.
	file = "repo_data.csv"

PWSdelta / ruby-open-uri-request.rb

Created December 9, 2013 17:16

4-line Ruby script that uses open-uri to fetch the contents of a URL & displays it in the console. This is the foundation for all web requests, whether to scrape a page, request a JSON response, and more.

	# http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0.0/libdoc/open-uri/rdoc/OpenURI.html
	require 'open-uri'

	# Go fetch the contents of a URL & store them as a String
	response = open('http://www.example.com').read

	# "Pretty prints" the result to look like a web page instead of one long string of HTML
	URI.parse(response).class

	# Print the contents of the website to the console
