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
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
A listing of the extensions provided by Powerpack is available here.
To load the entire powerpack do:
require 'powerpack'
To load only the String extensions do:
require 'powerpack/string'
To load only a specific extension like String#format do:
require 'powerpack/string/format'
