SabretWoW / tweets_controller.rb
Last active December 21, 2015 14:58
A Ruby on Rails controller action showing how to fetch a group of Tweets/followers/friends & send them to a view. You can also create Tweets with this controller & the Twitter API, but you'll need to ensure your callback URL is correct. Follow the documentation for that.
class TweetsController < ApplicationController
before_action :create_client
def index
batch_size = 10
@twitter_handle = "dhh"
@tweets = @client.user_timeline(@twitter_handle).take(batch_size)
@friends = @client.friends(@twitter_handle).take(batch_size)

SabretWoW / ruby_benchmark_examples.rb
Created December 14, 2013 02:59
Three examples showing three of the main methods of Ruby's Benchmark class that's used to profile your code. Benchmark.measure at the most basic, Benchmark.benchmark allows you to run trials of different code blocks, and Benchmark.bmbm that helps you establish a baseline for your tests.
# 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"

SabretWoW / 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

SabretWoW / 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

SabretWoW / 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"
