[ANN] beer.db & beerdb gem - Free Beer & Brewery Data, Models 'n' More

ruby-talk

Hello,

  I've collected some beers and breweries for a new free open public domain
beer database, that is, beer.db[1]. Use the beerdb Ruby gem [2] to read
(import) the plain text fixtures and
setup your database e.g.

  $ beerdb setup --include ../beer.db --worldinclude ../world.db

  For easy reuse the gem includes some ActiveRecord models e.g.

    >> brooklyn = Brewery.find_by_key( 'brooklyn' )

    >> brooklyn.title
    => "Brooklyn Brewery"

    >> brooklyn.beers
    => "Brooklyn Lager"
       "Brooklyn Brown Ale"
       "Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout"
        ...

    >> asahi = Beer.find_by_key( 'asahisuperdry' )
    >> asahi.title
    => "Asahi Super Dry"
    >> asahi.brewery
    => "Asahi Breweries"

    and so on.

   Note, there's also a litte HTTP JSON API web service included [3] and
last but not least I've started on a litte web app (beer.db.admin) [4].
All code and data is public domain.

Cheers. Prost. Salud. Kampai. Yung sing. Sláinte.
