Ruby

Ruby export lets you generate Ruby-ready source code from grid data.

What is Ruby Data Output?​

AnyWayData can export each row as either:

  • an anonymous hash (map/dictionary style)
  • a named class instance

Rows are then wrapped in an outer collection.

How is Ruby output different from JSON?​

JSON is a language-neutral data format.

Ruby output uses Ruby syntax directly, including:

  • named variable assignment
  • hash rows with =>
  • optional class definition and object instantiation rows

AnyWayData Support for Ruby​

AnyWayData currently supports exporting data to Ruby format.

See Ruby Options for configuration details.

Unit Test Code Generation​

You can also generate data-driven test scaffolding for Ruby using frameworks: rspec, minitest.

For more information, see Unit Test Code Generation.
