Gifs

Gif management using Dropbox public links and Sqlite in a gem package. ❤️

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gifs'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gifs

Dropbox Integration

First, you need to create a new Dropbox app, using the Dropbox API (not the business option), with Full Dropbox access. Once you have that setup, you will need to click the Generate button beneath the Generate Access Token header of the OAuth2 section. This is the token that will be used for interacting with your Dropbox account.

Gifs Directory

Expects a gifs directory in your Dropboxs. This is also where the database file will be created, to track public Dropbox links for each gif.

Configuration File

The configuration file needs to be created at ~/.gifs_config, in YAML format.

Sample config file:

DROPBOX_PATH: ~/Dropbox
DROPBOX_TOKEN: dropbox-generated-access-token

Usage

There are currently two executables that can be called.

`gif-listener`

Listens for gif paths to be entered and checks with the local database before reaching out to create a new shareable link via the Dropbox API.

Data displayed includes the name of the id gif, its directories, basename, size, number of times used, and the data copied to the clipboard

`gif-count`

Without any arguments, it outputs the total number of gifs found.

1,358 gifs in 360 directories

With an argument, it will list the number of gifs found in matching directories.

$ gif-count angry
13 gifs in 1 directories

$ tree ~/Dropbox/gifs/angry
/home/josh/Dropbox/gifs/angry
├── banner.gif
├── bender.gif
├── brushstration.gif
├── carey.gif
├── conan.gif
├── dipper - snack -gravity falls.gif
├── farva - super troopers.gif
├── frick.gif
├── fry.gif
├── grunkle stand - hand gesture - gravity falls.gif
├── hermes.gif
├── snoopy.gif
└── spock.gif

It also checks sub-directories when passed an argument.

$ gif-count taylor\ swift
5 gifs in 2 directories

$ tree ~/Dropbox/gifs/taylor\ swift
/home/josh/Dropbox/gifs/taylor swift
└── lwymmd
    ├── taylor bat focused.gif
    ├── taylor bat mask removal.gif
    ├── taylor bat money swing.gif
    ├── taylor bat pointing.gif
    └── taylor swift motorcycle gear.gif

Database Storage

The SQLite database file can be found in the Dropbox/gifs/.gifs directory, as gifs.sqlite.db.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
