SpaceStation

A toy gem dedicated to clients and project managers who make silly and unrealistic requirements sometimes. It provides a set of Rack middleware that prints an ascii figure with every response. It could also be useful for debugging.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'space_station'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install space_station

Usage

Just put this line in your config.ru file and replace MiddlewareName with the middleware of your choice

  use SpaceStation::MiddlewareName

There are multiple middleware to use:

• Airplane
• Apollo
• DarthVader
• F16
• MiddleFinger
• SpaceShuttle
• UFO
• Unicorn

Example

  #config.ru
  use SpaceStation::UFO

You can also pass a :msg option with the middleware name to print a custom message instead of the ascii art.

  #config.ru
  use SpaceStation::Station, msg: "Print This Message"
