#action(action_that_is_desired = nil, optional_argument1 = nil, options_hash = {}, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: actions

#

action (action tag)

This method bundles together all “actionable components”. It thus ties options to the user in a convenient manner, without needing to remember the name of classes or where the code resides at. All the user has to know is the name of the action itself, and they are good to go.

This method is a simpler wrapper over the toplevel RBT.action() code.

#cheering_person?Boolean Also known as: return_cheering_person, cheering_person, cheerful_person, cheering_ascii_person

#

cheering_person?

This is just an ASCII “person” that is presently cheering. It is meant to indicate success and/or happiness. For instance, if a compilation-run has succeeded then we may display such a cheering ASCII “person”.

I found this to be cute and neat - and it is also somewhat useful, as I tend to use the colour gold for this. Thus it is a slight visual cue, e. g.:

e steelblue('All went well!' )+gold(cheering_person?)

#colourize_this_file_path(i, colour1 = :slateblue, colour2 = :royalblue) ⇒ Object

#

colourize_this_file_path

This method will colourize a “file path”. So for example, if you have a file path such as “/opt/foo/bar.rb”, then this method will colourize the directory in one colour, and the file itself (bar.rb) in another colour.

The whole idea behind this is to be easily able to separate which part is the directory and which part is the file.

If no ‘/’ has been given then the input will be returned unmodified.

The colour for this can be controlled by the input-arguments.

#remove_file(i, report_the_action = false) ⇒ Object Also known as: delete, delete_file, remove_files, remove_these_files

remove_file (remove tag)

Use this method whenever you wish to remove a file.

The first input argument to this method shall be the file that we wish to remove. This means the “file path”, so the path to the file has to be provided, such as “/opt/foobar.md”. An Array can also be given, which will lead to batch-removal of the given files at hand.

The second input argument to this method, called ‘report_the_action`, determines whether we will be verbose or whether we will not be verbose. Verbose here means that we will notify the user what we are doing or about to do; not verbose means that we will be silent when we remove the target file.
