Alfredo

Alfredo is a gem providing a handful of utility methods to help out with Alfred 2 workflows.

Installation

Until it's worthy of uploading to RubyGems:

git clone https://github.com/brymck/alfredo.git
cd alfredo
bundle update
rake install

Usage

Alfred 2 defaults to using the system Ruby. Rather than replace that with a symlink to your preferred Ruby, it probably makes more sense to put something like this in your Script Filter workflow element:

/usr/bin/env ruby <my_script>.rb "{query}"

In that script, you could have something like the following, which would list all projects in your ~/Projects directory:

require "alfredo"

Dir.chdir File.join(ENV["HOME"], "Projects")
query = ARGV.first
@manager = Alfredo::ItemManager.new

Dir.glob("#{query}*").each do |dir|
  @manager << Alfredo::Item.new(
    uid:      dir,
    arg:      File.expand_path(dir),
    title:    "Open #{dir}",
    subtitle: "Open in Vim"
  )
end

puts @manager.to_xml
