HomeSync makes it easy to synchronize any file under your home directory with other machines through Dropbox by providing a simple commandline interface for adding and removing symlinks to your files. Furthermore, it knows how to handle several key directories correctly and how to synchronize application preferences and data.
The cookie_tracker easily synchronizes settings stored in cookies with instance variables of the same name available for use in controllers and views. This gem allows you to declare a hash of parameters along with default values that you wish to be loaded/stored in the user's cookies during each page load. Each parameter will be loaded into it's own instance variable of the same name for easy access in controllers and views. If the parameter is passed in the params[] hash, the new value will automatically be stored in the correct cookie and replace the old or default value. This makes it easy to track various options that a user can select on a page, such as items per page, search queries, and custom display settings. If a user clicks off to another page on your site, their settings will be remembered when they return. You can declare the default cookie lifetime options in an initializer or override them at runtime. If you prefer to use the session store over the cookie jar, there is a method for that as well. You can override the default cookie options by creating an initializer. Visit the github page https://github.com/DanKnox/CookieTracker
Manage your users' operations (permissions to execute some actions) in your application.
ALPHA Alert -- just uploaded initial release. Linux inotify is a means to receive events describing file system activity (create, modify, delete, close, etc). Sinotify was derived from aredridel's package (http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-inotify/), with the addition of Paul Boon's tweak for making the event_check thread more polite (see http://www.mindbucket.com/2009/02/24/ruby-daemons-verifying-good-behavior/) In sinotify, the classes Sinotify::PrimNotifier and Sinotify::PrimEvent provide a low level wrapper to inotify, with the ability to establish 'watches' and then listen for inotify events using one of inotify's synchronous event loops, and providing access to the events' masks (see 'man inotify' for details). Sinotify::PrimEvent class adds a little semantic sugar to the event in to the form of 'etypes', which are just ruby symbols that describe the event mask. If the event has a raw mask of (DELETE_SELF & IS_DIR), then the etypes array would be [:delete_self, :is_dir]. In addition to the 'straight' wrapper in inotify, sinotify provides an asynchronous implementation of the 'observer pattern' for notification. In other words, Sinotify::Notifier listens in the background for inotify events, adapting them into instances of Sinotify::Event as they come in and immediately placing them in a concurrent queue, from which they are 'announced' to 'subscribers' of the event. [Sinotify uses the 'cosell' implementation of the Announcements event notification framework, hence the terminology 'subscribe' and 'announce' rather then 'listen' and 'trigger' used in the standard event observer pattern. See the 'cosell' package on github for details.] A variety of 'knobs' are provided for controlling the behavior of the notifier: whether a watch should apply to a single directory or should recurse into subdirectores, how fast it should broadcast queued events, etc (see Sinotify::Notifier, and the example in the synopsis section below). An event 'spy' can also be setup to log all Sinotify::PrimEvents and Sinotify::Events. Sinotify::Event simplifies inotify's muddled event model, sending events only for those files/directories that have changed. That's not to say you can't setup a notifier that recurses into subdirectories, just that any individual event will apply to a single file, and not to its children. Also, event types are identified using words (in the form of ruby :symbols) instead of inotify's event masks. See Sinotify::Event for more explanation. The README for inotify: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/inotify/README Selected quotes from the README for inotify: * "Rumor is that the 'd' in 'dnotify' does not stand for 'directory' but for 'suck.'" * "The 'i' in inotify does not stand for 'suck' but for 'inode' -- the logical choice since inotify is inode-based." (The 's' in 'sinotify' does in fact stand for 'suck.')

Contentful API wrapper library exposing an ActiveRecord-like interface
== Terminal UIs, the Ruby Way RatatuiRuby[https://rubygems.org/gems/ratatui_ruby] is a RubyGem built on Ratatui[https://ratatui.rs], a leading TUI library written in Rust[https://rust-lang.org]. You get native performance with the joy of Ruby. gem install ratatui_ruby {rdoc-image:https://ratatui-ruby.dev/hero.gif}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/app_cli_rich_moments/README_md.html] === Rich Moments Add a spinner, a progress bar, or an inline menu to your CLI script. No full-screen takeover. Your terminal history stays intact. ==== Inline Viewports Standard TUIs erase themselves on exit. Your carefully formatted CLI output disappears. Users lose their scrollback. <b>Inline viewports</b> solve this. They occupy a fixed number of lines, render rich UI, then leave the output in place when done. Perfect for spinners, menus, progress indicators—any brief moment of richness. require "ratatui_ruby" RatatuiRuby.run(viewport: :inline, height: 1) do |tui| until connected? status = tui.paragraph(text: "\#{spin} Connecting...") tui.draw { |frame| frame.render_widget(status, frame.area) } end end === Build Something Real Full-screen applications with {keyboard and mouse input}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/app_all_events/README_md.html]. The managed loop sets up the terminal and restores it on exit, even after crashes. RatatuiRuby.run do |tui| loop do tui.draw do |frame| frame.render_widget( tui.paragraph(text: "Hello, RatatuiRuby!", alignment: :center), frame.area ) end case tui.poll_event in { type: :key, code: "q" } then break else nil end end end ==== Widgets included: [Layout] {Block}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_block/README_md.html], {Center}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_center/README_md.html], {Clear (Popup, Modal)}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_popup/README_md.html], {Layout (Split, Grid)}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_layout_split/README_md.html], {Overlay}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_overlay/README_md.html] [Data] {Bar Chart}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_barchart/README_md.html], {Chart}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_chart/README_md.html], {Gauge}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_gauge/README_md.html], {Line Gauge}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_line_gauge/README_md.html], {Sparkline}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_sparkline/README_md.html], {Table}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_table/README_md.html] [Text] {Cell}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_cell/README_md.html], {List}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_list/README_md.html], {Rich Text (Line, Span)}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_rich_text/README_md.html], {Scrollbar (Scroll)}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_scrollbar/README_md.html], {Tabs}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_tabs/README_md.html] [Graphics] {Calendar}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_calendar/README_md.html], {Canvas}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_canvas/README_md.html], {Map (World Map)}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/widget_map/README_md.html] Need something else? {Build custom widgets}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/doc/concepts/custom_widgets_md.html] in Ruby! --- === Testing Built In TUI testing is tedious. You need a headless terminal, event injection, snapshot comparisons, and style assertions. RatatuiRuby bundles all of it. require "ratatui_ruby/test_helper" class TestColorPicker < Minitest::Test include RatatuiRuby::TestHelper def test_swatch_widget with_test_terminal(10, 3) do RatatuiRuby.draw do |frame| frame.render_widget(Swatch.new(:red), frame.area) end assert_cell_style 2, 1, char: "█", bg: :red end end end ==== What's inside: - <b>Headless terminal</b> — No real TTY needed - <b>Snapshots</b> — Plain text and rich (ANSI colors) - <b>Event injection</b> — Keys, mouse, paste, resize - <b>Style assertions</b> — Color, bold, underline at any cell - <b>Test doubles</b> — Mock frames and stub rects - <b>UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=1</b> — Regenerate baselines in one command --- ==== Inline Menu Example require "ratatui_ruby" # This example renders an inline menu. Arrow keys select, enter confirms. # The menu appears in-place, preserving scrollback. When the user chooses, # the TUI closes and the script continues with the selected value. class RadioMenu CHOICES = ["Production", "Staging", "Development"] # ASCII strings are universally supported. PREFIXES = { active: "●", inactive: "○" } # Some terminals may not support Unicode. CONTROLS = "↑/↓: Select | Enter: Choose | Ctrl+C: Cancel" # Let users know what keys you handle. TITLES = ["Select Environment", # The default title position is top left. { content: CONTROLS, # Multiple titles can save space. position: :bottom, # Titles go on the top or bottom, alignment: :right }] # aligned left, right, or center def call # This method blocks until a choice is made. RatatuiRuby.run(viewport: :inline, height: 5) do |tui| # RatauiRuby.run manages the terminal. @tui = tui # The TUI instance is safe to store. show_menu until chosen? # You can use any loop keyword you like. end # `run` won't return until your block does, RadioMenu::CHOICES[@choice] # so you can use it synchronously. end # Classes like RadioMenu are convenient for private # CLI authors to offer "rich moments." def show_menu = @tui.draw do |frame| # RatatuiRuby gives you low-level access. widget = @tui.paragraph( # But the TUI facade makes it easy to use. text: menu_items, # Text can be spans, lines, or paragraphs. block: @tui.block(borders: :all, titles: TITLES) # Blocks give you boxes and titles, and hold ) # one or more widgets. We only use one here, frame.render_widget(widget, frame.area) # but "area" lets you compose sub-views. end def chosen? # You are responsible for handling input. interaction = @tui.poll_event # Every frame, you receive an event object: return choose if interaction.enter? # Key, Mouse, Resize, Paste, FocusGained, # FocusLost, or None objects. They come with move_by(-1) if interaction.up? # predicates, support pattern matching, and move_by(1) if interaction.down? # can be inspected for properties directly. quit! if interaction.ctrl_c? # Your application must handle every input, false # even interrupts and other exit patterns. end def choose # Here, the loop is about to exit, and the prepare_next_line # block will return. The inline viewport @choice # will be torn down and the terminal will end # be restored, but you are responsible for # positioning the cursor. def prepare_next_line # To ensure the next output is on a new area = @tui.viewport_area # line, query the viewport area and move RatatuiRuby.cursor_position = [0, area.y + area.height] # the cursor to the start of the last line. puts # Then print a newline. end def quit! # All of your familiar Ruby control flow prepare_next_line # keywords work as expected, so we can exit 0 # use them to leave the TUI. end def move_by(line_count) # You are in full control of your UX, so @choice = (@choice + line_count) % CHOICES.size # you can implement any logic you need: end # Would you "wrap around" here, or not? # def menu_items = CHOICES.map.with_index do |choice, i| # Notably, RatatuiRuby has no concept of "\#{prefix_for(i)} \#{choice}" # "menus" or "radio buttons". You are in end # full control, but it also means you must def prefix_for(choice_index) # implement the logic yourself. For larger return PREFIXES[:active] if choice_index == @choice # applications, consider using Rooibos, PREFIXES[:inactive] # an MVU framework built with RatatuiRuby. end # Or, use the upcoming ratatui-ruby-kit, # our object-oriented component library. def initialize = @choice = 0 # However, those are both optional, and end # designed for full-screen Terminal UIs. # RatatuiRuby will always give you the most choice = RadioMenu.new.call # control, and is enough for "rich CLI puts "You chose \#{choice}!" # moments" like this one. --- === Full App Solutions RatatuiRuby renders. For complex applications, add a framework that manages state and composition. ==== Rooibos[https://www.rooibos.run] (Framework) Model-View-Update architecture. Inspired by Elm, Bubble Tea, and React + Redux. Your UI is a pure function of state. - Functional programming with MVU - Commands work off the main thread - Messages, not callbacks, drive updates ==== {Kit}[https://sr.ht/~kerrick/ratatui_ruby/#chapter-3-the-object-path--kit] (Coming Soon) Component-based architecture. Encapsulate state, input handling, and rendering in reusable pieces. - OOP with stateful components - Separate UI state from domain logic - Built-in focus management & click handling Both use the same widget library and rendering engine. Pick the paradigm that fits your brain. --- === Why RatatuiRuby? Ruby deserves world-class terminal user interfaces. TUI developers deserve a world-class language. RatatuiRuby wraps Rust's Ratatui via native extension. The Rust library handles rendering. Your Ruby code handles design. >>> "Text UIs are seeing a renaissance with many new TUI libraries popping up. The Ratatui bindings have proven to be full featured and stable." — {Mike Perham}[https://www.mikeperham.com/], creator of Sidekiq[https://sidekiq.org/] and Faktory[https://contribsys.com/faktory/] ==== Why Rust? Why Ruby? Rust excels at low-level rendering. Ruby excels at expressing domain logic and UI. RatatuiRuby puts each language where it performs best. ==== Versus CharmRuby CharmRuby[https://charm-ruby.dev/] wraps Charm's Go libraries. Both projects give Ruby developers TUI options. [Integration] CharmRuby: Two runtimes, one process. RatatuiRuby: Native extension in Rust. [Runtime] CharmRuby: Go + Ruby (competing). RatatuiRuby: Ruby (Rust has no runtime). [Memory] CharmRuby: Two uncoordinated GCs. RatatuiRuby: One Garbage Collector. [Style] CharmRuby: The Elm Architecture (TEA). RatatuiRuby: TEA, OOP, or Imperative. --- === Links [Get Started] {Quickstart}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/doc/getting_started/quickstart_md.html], {Examples}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/examples/app_cli_rich_moments/README_md.html], {API Reference}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/], {Guides}[https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev/docs/v0.10/doc/index_md.html] [Ecosystem] Rooibos[https://www.rooibos.run], {Kit}[https://sr.ht/~kerrick/ratatui_ruby/#chapter-3-the-object-path--kit] (Planned), {Framework}[https://sr.ht/~kerrick/ratatui_ruby/#chapter-5-the-framework] (Planned), {UI Widgets}[https://sr.ht/~kerrick/ratatui_ruby/#chapter-6-licensing] (Planned) [Community] {Forum}[https://forum.setdef.com/c/ratatui-ruby/6], {Announcements}[https://forum.setdef.com/tags/c/ratatui-ruby/6/announcement], {Discussion}[https://forum.setdef.com/tags/c/ratatui-ruby/6/discussion], {Bug Tracker}[https://forum.setdef.com/tags/c/ratatui-ruby/6/bug] [Contribute] {Contributing Guide}[https://man.sr.ht/~kerrick/ratatui_ruby/contributing.md], {Code of Conduct}[https://man.sr.ht/~kerrick/ratatui_ruby/code_of_conduct.md], {Project History}[https://man.sr.ht/~kerrick/ratatui_ruby/history/index.md], {Pull Requests}[https://forum.setdef.com/tags/c/ratatui-ruby/6/patch] --- [Website] https://www.ratatui-ruby.dev [Source] https://github.com/setdef/RatatuiRuby [RubyGems] https://rubygems.org/gems/ratatui_ruby [Upstream] https://ratatui.rs [Build Status] https://builds.sr.ht/~kerrick/ratatui_ruby © 2026 Kerrick Long · Library: LGPL-3.0-or-later · Website: CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 · Snippets: MIT-0
