Heading Back SG Soon

it has been quite sometime since i last blogged, guess blogging just hasn't become a habit yet. anyway, today's entry is just to announce that i'm kicking :P

btw, have been quite busy lately, as we are heading back sg (for good) very soon, before end of feb 09. it has been 2yrs since i last got back ... things must have changed quite abit (heard from my friend that the land is getting damn crowded), yet there are probably still alot that haven't changed (it still takes a long time to get a reply for an email to a civil service).

anything i missed back in sg? yup, i missed my parents plus the swimming pool just down my hdb. oh yes, and the annual free for all jap film fest !!

dm_skinny_specs ... trimming the fat from dm models' specs

Just released my 2nd gem dm_skinny_specs last night, this gem aims to help u trim away extra fat from dm models' specs. Here's a quick example of how things work (for 0.1.0):

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35

require 'dm_skinny_spec' class User include DataMapper::Resource property :id, Serial property :name, String, :auto_validation => false property :email, String, :auto_validation => false validates_length :name, :min => 5 validates_format :email, :as => :email_address, :allow_nil => false end User.fix {{ :name => /\w{5,10}/.gen, :email => /\w{10}/.gen + '@fmail.com', }} describe User do before do User.auto_migrate! @instances = {} end # This MUST be provided since we do not mandate u to use any specific fixture # utility. def instance(id=:default) @instances[id] ||= User.gen end it_should_validate_length :name, :min => 5 it_should_validate_format :email, :as => :email_address, :allow_nil => false end

Hey !! Wait a minute, doesn't skinny_spec and the whole idea of these spec helpers sound familiar ?! Ok Ok, i admit it, i was inspired by the original skinny_spec for rails :P
