Psychgus

Psychgus uses the core standard library Psych for working with YAML and extends it so that developers can easily style the YAML according to their needs.

Thank you to the people that work hard on the Psych project.

The Psychgus name comes from the well-styled character Gus from the TV show Psych.

Setup

Pick your poison...

With the RubyGems CLI package manager:

$ gem install psychgus

In your Gemspec (<project>.gemspec):

# Pick one...
spec.add_dependency 'psychgus', '~> X.X.X'
spec.add_development_dependency 'psychgus', '~> X.X.X'

In your Gemfile:

# Pick one...
gem 'psychgus', '~> X.X.X'
gem 'psychgus', '~> X.X.X', :group => :development
gem 'psychgus', :git => 'https://github.com/esotericpig/psychgus.git', :tag => 'vX.X.X'

Manually:

$ git clone 'https://github.com/esotericpig/psychgus.git'
$ cd psychgus
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake install:local

Using

Documentation (YARDoc) is available on my GitHub Page and on RubyDoc.info.

To begin styling, create a class and mix in (include) Psychgus::Styler. Then pass it in as a keyword arg (stylers: MyStyler.new or stylers: [MyStyler1.new,MyStyler2.new]) into one of the Psychgus methods.

For classes, you can optionally include Psychgus::Blueberry and return the styler(s) for the class by defining the psychgus_stylers(sniffer) method.

Instead of making your own styler, you can also use one of the pre-defined stylers.

Simple Example

require 'psychgus'

class CoffeeStyler
  include Psychgus::Styler

  def style_sequence(sniffer,node)
    node.style = Psychgus::SEQUENCE_FLOW
  end
end

coffee = {
  'Roast'=>['Light', 'Medium', 'Dark', 'Extra Dark'],
  'Style'=>['Cappuccino', 'Espresso', 'Latte', 'Mocha']
}

puts coffee.to_yaml(stylers: CoffeeStyler.new)

# Output:
# ---
# Roast: [Light, Medium, Dark, Extra Dark]
# Style: [Cappuccino, Espresso, Latte, Mocha]

class Coffee
  include Psychgus::Blueberry

  def initialize
    @roast = ['Light', 'Medium', 'Dark', 'Extra Dark']
    @style = ['Cappuccino', 'Espresso', 'Latte', 'Mocha']
  end

  def psychgus_stylers(sniffer)
    CoffeeStyler.new
  end
end

puts Coffee.new.to_yaml

# Output:
# --- !ruby/object:Coffee
# roast: [Light, Medium, Dark, Extra Dark]
# style: [Cappuccino, Espresso, Latte, Mocha]

Hash Example

require 'psychgus'

  # Style maps (Psych::Nodes::Mapping)
  # - Hashes (key/value pairs)
  # - Example: "Burgers: Classic {}"
  def style_mapping(sniffer,node)
    node.style = Psychgus::MAPPING_FLOW if sniffer.level >= 4
  end

  # Style scalars (Psych::Nodes::Scalar)
  # - Any text (non-alias)
  def style_scalar(sniffer,node)
    # Remove colon (change symbols into strings)
    node.value = node.value.sub(':','')

    # Capitalize each word
    node.value = node.value.split(' ').map do |v|
      if v.casecmp('BBQ') == 0
        v.upcase()
      else
        v.capitalize()
      end
    end.join(' ')

    # Change lettuce to spinach
    node.value = 'Spinach' if node.value == 'Lettuce'
  end

  # Style sequences (Psych::Nodes::Sequence)
  # - Arrays
  # - Example: "[Lettuce, Onions, Pickles, Tomatoes]"
  def style_sequence(sniffer,node)
    node.style = Psychgus::SEQUENCE_FLOW if sniffer.level >= 4

Common Stylers

A collection of commonly-used Stylers and Stylables are included with Psychgus.

Styler	Description
CapStyler	Capitalizer for Scalars
FlowStyler	FLOW style changer for Mappings & Sequences
MapFlowStyler	FLOW style changer for Mappings only
NoSymStyler	Symbol remover for Scalars
NoTagStyler	Tag remover for classes
SeqFlowStyler	FLOW style changer for Sequences only

Stylers Example

require 'psychgus'

class EggCarton
  def initialize
    @eggs = {
      :styles => ['fried', 'scrambled', ['BBQ', 'ketchup & mustard']],
      :colors => ['brown', 'white', ['blue', 'green']]
    }
  end
end

puts EggCarton.new.to_yaml(stylers: [
  Psychgus::NoSymStyler.new,
  Psychgus::NoTagStyler.new,
  Psychgus::CapStyler.new,
  Psychgus::FlowStyler.new(4)
])

# Output:
# ---
# Eggs:
#   Styles: [Fried, Scrambled, [BBQ, Ketchup & Mustard]]
#   Colors: [Brown, White, [Blue, Green]]

puts EggCarton.new.to_yaml

# Output (without Stylers):
# --- !ruby/object:EggCarton
# eggs:
#   :styles:
#   - fried
#   - scrambled
#   - - BBQ
#     - ketchup & mustard
#   :colors:
#   - brown
#   - white
#   - - blue
