to_yaml method

Simon Rozet

4/7/2007 3:28:00 PM

Hello,

In order to learn Ruby, I am trying to write a Getting Things Done
manager in Ruby+YAML.

So, here is where I am : http://pastie.cabo...
Be carefull... Store#to_yaml is realy ugly !
So, how can I make this method prettier ?

BTW, this is probably not the only ugly method... so feel free to
correct me, it'll
help me to learn the Ruby Way :-)

Thanks in advance,

Thanks. I feel a bit uncomfortable with having a mentor (I don't know
exactly why... maybe that's too easy ?) but I'll try to contact a
mentor and see what happen :-)
BTW, the concept is realy interesting... IMHO having a mentor is the
best way to learn something. AFAIK I haven't seen project like this on
other porgramming language communauty.

Thank you.

Don't be uncomfortable, the worst that could happen is nothing.

I agree that the concept is interesting and great, and I, too, think
it's original.

Hopefully you'll join the rank of mentors soon :)

A few style notes. The multiple assignment you do "tasks, projects =
Array.new, Array.new" is usually done on two lines, just for
readability, and dropping some complexity. Also you can just assign
to [], which gives you a blank array ({} for hashes).

@projects.each_pair { |k, v| projects << v }
@tasks.each_pair { |k, v| tasks << v }

Can be replaced with

tasks = @tasks.map {|x| x }
projects = @projects.map {|x| x }

With this you can also drop the array initialization. This method is
in the Enumerable module, which Hash and Array mixin. You could even
make it just be

dump = @tasks.map {|x| x }
dump << @projects.map {|x| x }
return YAML.dump(dump)

Hope that helps you some!

Hey cool! A GTD application in ruby. I'm looking forward to see this
project on rubyforge.org ;-)
