SaveMe

SaveMe is a gem to store your data in an organized way. Let's say you have a script that saves the results in results file/folder and another run of this script (accidental or not) would overwrite your previous results. This is where SaveMe comes in. You put a one-liner in your code and your data is safe and organized.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'save_me'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install save_me

Usage

Put this line in your code before you run your script

SaveMe.call("path_to_what_you_want_to_copy", results_path: "./results", ymd: 0b110, params: { whatever: "you need here" })

First argument is a path to the file/folder you want to save.

Argument results_path(optional, default: "./") is a path to a folder where your results will be copied. If any directory in the path doesn't exist yet, it will be created by the gem.

Argument ymd(optional, default: 0b111) is the folder structure. Notice it's in binary format. Each 1 or 0 corresponds to a letter in the ymd.

• y - year
• m - month
• d - day

A 1 creates a folder for a year/month/day, a 0 will put a year/month/day in the final folder name.

Examples:

• 0b111

SaveMe.call("results", results_path: "archive", ymd: 0b111, params: { test: "test" })

archive/
└── 2017
    └── 4
        └── 3
            └── 10:16:18
                ├── params.json
                └── results
                    └── results.json

• 0b110

SaveMe.call("results", results_path: "archive", ymd: 0b110, params: { test: "test" })

archive/
└── 2017
    └── 4
        └── 03_10:18:55
            ├── params.json
            └── results
                └── results.json

Argument params(optional, default: nil) will be saved as json file with your results so you don't need to remember what params were used to get those particular results.
