DESCRIPTION

OpenDSL provides an open nomenclature for writing domain specific instructions. The idea is inline with the idea of duck-typing. You can allow domain instructions to be given up front free of restriction, then applying them later their correctness plays out as they are utilized.

The library is especailly useful for plugins systems.

RELEASE NOTES

Please see HISTORY file.

SYNOPSIS

There are a few different ways in which this library can be put to use, but the basic idea for all of them can be demonstrated simply enough.

   Foo = OpenDSL.new do
     foo do
       'foo'
     end
   end

   class Something
     include Foo

     def foobar
       foo + 'bar'
     end
   end

OpenDSL.new creates a subclass of Module. Indeed, this library was orginally called OpenModule, but the name was changed to focus on it’s utility, rather than it’s implementation. Since an OpenDSL object is a module you can use it just like any other module.

HOW TO INSTALL

To install with RubyGems simply open a console and type:

  gem install opendsl

Site installation requires Setup.rb (gem install setup), then download the tarball package and type:

  tar -xvzf openmodule-1.0.0.tgz
  cd opendsl-1.0.0.tgz
  sudo setup.rb all

Windows users use ‘ruby setup.rb all’.
