Data Bank¶ ↑

Ever want to save data for later, but don’t want the overhead of a database, or parsing large files into objects? With the data bank you can store an object in a plain text file and turn it straight back into the object next time you need it. Data Bank is just a little hack I tried out to learn how to marshal data.

Install¶ ↑

gem install Adkron-data_bank --source http://gems.github.com

Example¶ ↑

require 'rubygems'
require 'data_bank'

class MyObject
  attr_accessor :data

  def initialize(data)
    @data = data
  end
end

db = DataBank.new ".", "data_bank.data"

my_object = db.withdraw || MyObject.new(1)
my_object.data += 1
puts my_object.data
db.deposit my_object
