First Gem -- What can I model after?

Ruby
1

Hi guys,

I’m working to create my first gem which will be a super simple wrap of
an API i find useful.

I was wondering if someone could point me @ an existing gem that is
considered to be structured/coded well?

I’m not 100% sure where to start and after reading/watching a number of
tutorials i see there are a ton of ways to do things.

thanks!

Using .gemspecs as Intended

Not really relevant.

I beg to differ. :slight_smile:

Of course you do. Nevertheless, Yehuda’s article on whether to include
a gemspec file in a source code repository for use by automated build
tools is at best only tangentally relevant to his question, which was
about how to structure a gem’s source code. Perhaps once he has
answered his question and written a gem, he might want to read that
article.

Look at the jeweler gem, it will help you create a directory structure
for your Ruby gem with testing and etc. There are a number of
well-written Ruby gems in github that you can use for examples.
