localone¶ ↑

Local One adds Object#with and Kernel.let to help you use fewer local variables.

Wha?¶ ↑

%w{ doug bob }.with do |a|
  assert_equal "doug and bob", a.join(' and ')
end

assert_equal 'abcdef', let(:a=>'abc', :b=>'def'){ [a, b].join }

Why is that better than assigning the variables?¶ ↑

Discourages redefining variables leading to a more functional style, looks kind of cool.

What does Local One mean?¶ ↑

Local because it deals with local variables (like you would deal with a rat problem).

Does it work on my version of Ruby?¶ ↑

It has been tested on 1.8.6, 1.8.7, and 1.9.1 successfully. I’m having jruby + rvm problems right now, so not sure there. Can’t get jeweler or bundler installed on macruby + jvm. Verdict: probably :)

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
