Sometimes when deadlines are tight, speed becomes more important than accuracy. How many times have we had to face failing tests because fo one little typo in a method signature?
Close Enough fixes this. By calculating the Damerau-Levenshtein distance between existing methods and what you actually typed, we infer the intended method from method calls with small typographical errors (an edit distance of < 3).
It's easy.
gem install close_enough
and
require close_enough in your project.
With bundler:
gem 'close_enough', :require => 'close_enough'
Then:
o = Object.new
o.closs
=> Object
"foo".lentgh
=> 3
[1, 2, 3].redcue(:+)
=> 6
Q. I make typos all the time! Will this save my job?
A. Probably not, no.
Q. You're joking, right?
A. ...
Q. So I shouldn't use this in production code?
A. No, go right ahead... just be advised we take no responsibility for the consequences.
From Rubygems, of course!

Really? You have that much time on your hands? Awesome!
Two guidelines, though:
- Please include tests for all pull requests. Bonus points for feature branches!
- No monkey-patching
BasicObjectwithout grave justification. We're not that crazy.
