Squib Helper Utilities

[rnewton]

I've created a new gem that I've found helpful and maybe others will as well. None of these things felt like they should be in Squib proper, but I use them frequently. Check it out here

Awesome!! I’ll take a look.

Google sheets lol. Yeah long ago I got burned in another project by Sheets suddenly changing its APIs. Ironically they haven’t in recent years.

I like the merge pdf! I do something else for front/back but your way is waaay simpler.

String monkey patch - I actually have some similar things myself. I implemented them as Ruby refinements so they won’t collide. Haven’t put them in Squib (yet) but maybe I should. I’d be up for adding slug.

I like the card num method. I like convenience methods like that. Same with tts - I’d be ok adding that to Squib.

Card sizes is cool! Great idea.

LOVE the avatar idea! And it warms my heart that you added the new dsl method using the same technique I do with accepted_params and args - I’m proud of that design.

Yeah most of that stuff I’d be up for adding into Squib if you’d like. Or we can keep it in squib-plus. Up to you.

Happy to make a PR or two for merging these into squib if you like em. I'll add some tests and documentation as well

Go for it! Thanks!

Be sure to add some samples to the samples folder. Then take any images you want me to regression test and add “_expected” to the end. It’ll get put into my visual regression tests. You can test it out with “rake sanity”
