A succinct interface to the IBM Watson Explorer Foundational Components Engine REST API

by Colin Dean colindean@us.ibm.com

Introduction

Acceleration provides a succinct, ActiveResource-style interface to a IBM Watson Explorer Foundational Components (WEX-FC) Engine search platform instance's REST API.

The name comes from WEX-FC's pre-acquisition name, Vivísimo Velocity. Acceleration is derived from Velocity. Get it?

git clone git@github.com:Watson-Explorer/acceleration-ruby.git
cd acceleration

Now you're clear for hacking. Open the docs with open doc/index.html to learn how to use it. The top-level class is actually Velocity.

Releasing

Acceleration uses semantic versioning. Once all work for a version is committed, increment the version number in lib/acceleration/version.rb and execute semver inc patch, or whatever else is appropriate for the release. Then, commit the changes to lib/acceleration/version.rb and .semver with git commit -a -m "version $(semver tag)" and then tag it with git tag $(semver tag).
