Casper Ruby SDK

The Ruby SDK enables developers to interact with the Casper Network.

Requirements

Click rbenv or here (Steps: 1, 2, 3) to install dependencies.

ruby -v
# ruby 3.0.2

# Install bundler
gem install bundler

How to install

# There are two options to install casper_network

# Option 1:
# Install casper_network that is available in the https://guides.rubygems.org/
gem install casper_network

# Option 2:
git clone git@github.com:saitgulmez/casper-ruby-sdk.git
cd casper-ruby-sdk
# It automatically installs all the required gems located in the Gemfile
bundle install
# Install casper_network gem from repository
# casper_network-X.Y.Z.gem will be generated after running below command
gem build casper_network.gemspec
# (X, Y, Z depends on s.version described in the casper_network.gemspec)
gem install casper_network-X.Y.Z.gem

How to build

gem build casper_network.gemspec

How to run tests

# Install RSpec
gem install rspec
# Run the test
bundle exec rspec
# To see the test results in detail
bundle exec rspec -fd

How run each test file individually

git checkout main
# Run the test
rspec spec/file_name.rb
# To see the test results in detail
rspec -fd spec/file_name.rb
# Example:
rspec spec/testnet_spec.rb
# To see results in details
rspec -fd spec/testnet_spec.rb

How to generate docs

gem install yard
# Generate documentation from source code
yardoc lib/**/*.rb lib/*.rb - README.md LICENSE CONTRIBUTING.md SECURITY.md
# To see the options
