vehiclesdb — official alias of vehicles

This gem is a two-file front door: it depends on vehicles — the Ruby SDK for the VehiclesDB open vehicle dataset — and exposes the identical API under the VehiclesDB constant.

gem "vehiclesdb"

VehiclesDB.find("vw golf")      # => #<Vehicles::Model "Volkswagen Golf">
VehiclesDB.top_models(kind: :motorcycle, country: :th, limit: 5)
VehiclesDB.equal?(Vehicles)     # => true — same module, two names

Why two names? The project is bigger than Ruby: the dataset lives at github.com/vehiclesdb/vehiclesdb and SDKs for other languages follow the vehiclesdb-<language> pattern. If you found the project through that name, this gem takes you to the right place. If you're starting fresh in Ruby, depend on vehicles directly — it's the same thing with the shorter, Rails-idiomatic name.
