Discover gems to adopt through API calls

[benjaminoakes]

Goals

• Script finding repos
• Gems gem to search for ruby gems that…
  • Are archived on GitHub (need to call GitHub API, either directly through REST/GraphQL or through a gem)
  • High download count
  • Last updated > x ago

Query for homepage URLs using Fabio Rehm (who we adopted rake-notes from)

ℹ️ I don't hold any of the names in this code closely. Feel free to change them as you like.

# query_gems.rb
class QueryGems
  def initialize(username:)
    @username = username
  end

  def results
    Gems.
      gems(@username).
      map { |gem| Gems.info(gem["name"])["homepage_uri"] }.
      sort
  end
end

Let's try using the default test framework for a bit and see how we like it:

# query_gems_test.rb
require "test_helper"

class QueryGemsTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
  test "#gems" do
    query = QueryGems.new(username: "fgrehm")

    results = query.results

     assert_equal results, [
       "",
       "http://github.com/fgrehm/autotestforphp",
