Some useful extensions to the core Ruby classes
Powerpack
Powerpack offers some useful extensions to the standard Ruby classes
(kind of like ActiveSupport, but less ambitious and more modular).
The project has several design goals:
- minimalistic - we don’t add every possible extensions, we focus only
on the stuff that are commonly requested and would be often useful in practice - modular - all extensions can be loaded individually (often they are just individual methods)
- safe - you can’t end up accidentally overriding some existing method definition with Powerpack’s extensions
Installation
Add this line to your application’s Gemfile (if you’re using bundler, that is):
gem 'powerpack'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install powerpack
