Unit Testing CoffeeScript with Mocha in Phoenix

I first got CoffeeScript working with Phoenix per this guide. Then, using this blog post and this post & comment, I got unit testing with Mocha working:

# install mocha
$ npm install --save-dev mocha

Hey polyglotarians! Brad here.

One of my Twitter followers asked the other day:

How do you use particles like "ni" or "ga" [in Japanese]?

This is both 1) a great question, and 2) a huge, sprawling question.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone try to give a short answer to this before though, so I tried to condense what I know into a few simple examples. Here's what I came up with:

何度でも - DREAMS COME TRUE

こみ上げてくる涙を　何回拭いたら
こみあげてくるなみだを　なんかいふいたら
komiagete kuru namida wo nankai fuitara

伝えたい言葉は　届くだろう？
つたえたいことばは　とどくだろう？
tsutaetai kotoba wa todoku darou?

Ruby MatchData to Hash

blog post

So I ended up wanting to do MatchData#to_hash again (to pass named captures from a match into a Virtus constructor in a script), and went searching for my old implementation of it on Gist. I didnt find it, but I did wind up finding a handful of interesting things from other people.

What we're doing

First, to clarify the goal, I have a MatchData instance with named captures:

	# first off, Virtus basically lets you make this...
	class Foo
	def initialize(**args)
	@bar = bar
	end
	end
	# or this...
	class Foo
	def initialize(bar:)
	@bar = bar

	#!/usr/bin/env ruby

	# create Jekyll drafts and publish them (to `_posts/`)

	### USAGE ###
	#############
	#
	# ### 1 - start a new draft ###
	# $ ./draft.rb name of new post # -> opens `_drafts/name-of-new-post.md` in vim

	#!/usr/bin/env elixir

	File.stream!("JMdict_e")

	\|> Enum.map(& List.last &1)
	\|> IO.inspect

	class App
	def self.call(env)
	new(env).response
	end

	attr_reader :env, :request, :response
	def initialize(env)
	@env, @request = env, Rack::Request.new(env)
	end
