is_bullshit

Call bullshit on stuff.

Sometimes things that are "truthy" are really just bullshit. This gem is for when falsey/truthy aren't enough.

Installation

It's a gem. Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'is_bullshit'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install is_bullshit

Usage

Call .bullshit? on stuff. .is_bullshit? was added as an alias also because the gem name bullshit was already taken and I wanted a method to match the gem name.

The following values qualify as total bullshit: [nil, [], {}, 0, false, 'undefined', 'false', '', '0', 'nil', 'null']

.legit? and .seems_legit? are the opposite of .bullshit?

nil.bullshit?               # true
''.bullshit?                # true
[].bullshit?                # true
{}.bullshit?                # true
nil.is_bullshit?            # also works

# ...etc

'undefined'.seems_legit?    # false
'foo'.bullshit?             # false
'foo'.seems_legit?          # true

Development

First, decide if this is something you truly want to spend time on. Life is short and getting shorter, and each moment is precious.

If you still want to spend a slice of your limited time on Earth making some meaningless change to is_bullshit: after checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment with bullshit.
